Video: Mario Balotelli too lazy to use his own legs to navigate through shopping centre

Laziness personified

Ben Kiely

Preseason training has clearly taking its toll on Mario Balotelli.

It’s fair to say the Italian striker hasn’t exactly hit the ground running since Liverpool splashed out a whopping £16 million for him last season.

Nor has he really hit the ground walking, as this new footage shows.

The clip which has been doing the rounds on social media shows Super Mario on a recent visit to a shopping centre. However, rather than use the technique championed by the common man known as walking to make his way around the ceentre, Balotelli decided to use what looks like some sort of segway.

Still faster than Per Mertesacker.
