Mario Balotelli vs Bojan Krkic or show off vs work rate

Few players are able to play in the Euro Under 21 with only 18 years old, this year, Balotelli and Bojan have the highest profile from the ones with such a tender age. But although both participate with spectacular regularity on their clubs games – and Inter and Barcelona are two of Europe’s best sides, both being tipped as hot stars of tomorrow and both are forwards (Balotelli more a winger and Bojan a striker with high capacity to move) there are spectacular differences between them, that at this point send the Spanish to a route of success and the Italian to be a star in rose pages (and I’m not talking about Gazzetta Dello Sport).
With the world looking at this two players in the Under 21 tournament the personality of them as shown the real truth behind the youngster’s behavior on the field. Bojan is looking sharp as always, not a star, trying to score himself and his National squad a good result, appearing on the pitch when he’s needed and, although being a popular name, with an excellent work rate for the team. Balotelli seems to think he’s CR7 without winning anything, with incredible physical arguments, the Inter’s winger doesn’t look ready to play at the highest level in terms of mentality. Walking on the field like a Prima Donna (Casiraghi as put him out with 60 minutes on the first game and he get sent off on the second), trying to dribble and shoot whenever he gets the ball or assaulting his opponents when things don’t seem to go your way is not the course to become a champion. Obviously the goal before the red card shows the magic on Balotelli’s feet’s but there’s still a long work to be done.

Tip: Main question: Will Mourinho’s clever management help Balotelli to become a real football player or should we invite him to play show matches in the summer? Will Guardiola get enough space on the team to let Bojan develop into a world class striker? There’s a lot of potential here, now it’s the coach’s call and we all know they are the best we can get.
