據足球門戶goal.com網站6月15日報道，巴洛特利剛經歷了一個糟糕的賽季，甚至還有人要求奇羅?因莫比萊取代他在國家隊的位置。但在這場比賽中，巴神證明了在球隊最需要的時候，自己所具備的進攻性。

When Mario Balotelli asked "Why always me?" back in 2011 the answer was because he always made himself the story, via fireworks or bust-ups. Now, in 2014, it is because he is Italy's best hope of success at the World Cup.

2011年，當馬里奧?巴洛特利反問“為什么總是我？”時，得到的答案是他總愛跟別人爭吵，總能讓自己成為故事的主角。但在2014年的世界杯賽賽場上，這個問題有了新答案——他是意大利世界杯奪冠的最大希望所在。

The AC Milan striker is under more pressure to perform than any of his team-mates this summer, and has had to deal with calls to install Ciro Immobile in the line-up at his expense.

這位AC米蘭前鋒今年夏天承受的壓力超過他的任何一位隊友，他還不得不應付那些力挺奇羅?因莫比萊的人。

Far from being the main man, as he is once again expected to be for Italy, he struggled, and clubs around Europe - including in England - started to weigh up the pros and cons of prising this engima away from his 'dream' club. It seemed the only pro would be that he would be cheap, given Milan's willingness to sever ties.

雖然巴神希望再次效力意大利隊，但還遠稱不上是重要角色。他猶豫掙扎過，而且一些歐洲俱樂部，包括英格蘭的俱樂部也都曾權衡自己是否是巴神的“夢想”俱樂部。而米蘭接受巴神的原因似乎是其經費緊張，而巴神身價也并不昂貴。

But it was Balotelli who was there in Manaus on Saturday, dropping deep to link up with a promising midfield trio, and there at the backpost five minutes into the second half to head home the decisive goal, which gives the Azzurri an excellent chance of advancing from Group D as winners.

而就是周六出現在瑪瑙斯球場上的巴神，漂亮地接到中場傳球，在下半場開場五分鐘后，為意大利隊射入了一粒決定性的進球。就是這個進球給了藍色軍團在D組成功突圍的機會。

His performance showed the importance of letting your main man get on with his job. Had Cesare Prandelli felt the need to play Immobile, it highly unlikely he would have moved Balo out wide, as Roy Hodgson has opted to deploy Wayne Rooney.

巴神的表現說明讓對的人做對的事有多么重要。主帥普蘭德利即便覺得需要啟用因莫比萊，他也未必會想著換下巴神了，因為畢竟羅伊?霍奇森選擇了魯尼。
