Mario Balotelli Lives Life in the Fast Lane, on and off the Pitch

Mario Balotelli is one among a rare breed of people that seems to have limitless energy and drive, is good at everything and likes everything to be intense.

And no matter how much he seems to have going on, it doesn't seem to hinder his main pursuit and passion, which is playing soccer.

Off the Pitch Fast Life

Balotelli has a need for speed. A source told The Sun (can be found on dailymail.co.uk):

"

"Mario absolutely loves playing sport, whether it's football, swimming, karate or judo. But with the quad bike he has the speed too."

"

Oh he's got the speed, and the speed has him. Balotelli's need for speed has led to him tearing up this backyard

to put in a racetrack.

Unfortunately for Balotelli, he will not be able to enjoy this dirt track for a while, because he is living in a hotel.

This beautiful mansion

is being repaired from fire damage.

No one was hurt in the fire, and it was just your normal run-of-the-mill "lighting of fireworks in the bathroom and something goes wrong" fires.

This fire happened during a party. Apparently Balotelli likes to throw parties that resemble his character: fast and explosive.

On the Pitch

The 21-year-old Balotelli is having a marvelous campaign, and he is only getting better with each game.

He has six goals in 10 EPL games for Manchester City this season.

His stellar play has led Man City to the top of the EPL standings—a full five points ahead of second-place Manchester United.

Conclusion

Balotelli is on the verge of superstardom. His play dictates it, and his high-RPM lifestyle demands it. It is hard to tell what the future holds for him, other than the fact that it is going to be entertaining to watch.
