Mario Balotelli still has it, scoring goals and continues to be up to his old mischievous ways. Now playing for Turkish side Adana Demirspor, Balotelli, now 33, has 5 goals in nine league games.


Despite having an injury plagued season, the former Italian international is coming through for his side when he sees the field. Adana Demirspor are tenth in the Turkish Super League and are losers of three of their last 5 games.

Still, Balotelli has a way of relaxing the mood, this time being filmed setting off a firecracker inside his team’s locker room.
