I’m not crazy - Balotelli

Unpredictable Italian striker Mario Balotelli said on Wednesday he was capable of doing surprising things but he was not crazy.

The 21-year-old - who has produced some scintillating football for English Premier League leaders Manchester City this season - has earned a reputation for some outlandish behaviour both in Italy and now in England.

“I do some surprising things, sometimes they are amusing, but I am not crazy,” said Balotelli. “When you are famous, people are interested in your private life, and it tires me to talk about this subject.”
