Why I don’t smile - Super Mario

(30-12-2010) Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli, fresh from a stunning hat-trick against Aston Villa on Wednesday, has explained why his goal celebrations are so muted - he is only doing his job! The 20-year-old has now scored eight goals in 11 appearances for the Blues since his big money move from Inter Milan. "I’m always happy, even when I don't smile," Balotelli told www.mcfc.co.uk on Thursday. "But I feel a striker has to score. It is my job. That is why I don't smile. I am still happy and I can score more." The Italian also played down talk that he wanted to return to Italy. "I am very happy even if the journalists in Italy say I want to go to Milan. I am here and I am working hard in training. I want to be an important man for this team and the results are on the pitch."
