Mario Balotelli believes he was a worthy recipient of Tuttosport's Golden Boy trophy as the best player under the age of 21. Balotelli finished ahead of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere for the Turin sports newspaper's award, and reckons he was a deserving winner. "I am delighted to receive this award," said Balotelli. "Who should have won this award but me? Two years ago I finished sixth and a year ago fourth. It was finally my turn. I don't know who Wilshere is but the next time I play against Arsenal I will keep a close eye on him. Perhaps I can show him (Wilshere) the Golden Boy trophy and remind him that I won it!" [b][/b]

I am a great fan of Balotelli's but i think the boy is becoming too pompous. What do u think?

The award is not a personality contest so free d guy joorr. Try and restrict ur judgement to d very thing that brought him to us-his football ability. Besides won't d world b boring if we were all humble and nice?
