Balotelli: I want to make history with Manchester City

There can be no 20-year-old living today that has had the world talking as much as Mario Balotelli, who appears on the front and back pages of the national papers for his performances and behaviour.

He has faith in himself and he has the confidence he will go far, believing that Manchester City can defy the odds and lift the title this season.

Goal.com caught up with him for an exclusive interview...

You’re starring as the face of the Nike and Foot Locker Easter campaign; tell us a little bit more about your role and the sneakers...

"The Nike Lunar and Foot Locker campaign is all about pushing boundaries and having the world at your feet. When I was asked to be a part of the project it felt really right for me. I’m a huge fan of Nike and the new Air Max 90 Lunar, which is inspired by air and space, is a great design full of attitude."

After six months at the club, how are you finding the whole Manchester City experience? Is it what you expected?

"It is a great experience. All the people at Manchester City are fantastic and you can see the club growing every day. Everybody at the club helps me to feel comfortable. You can feel the vibe in the club. I try every day to repay the trust the manager and the club showed in me by signing me. I hope the fans know that I like it here and I am really proud to be here to write the history of this club."

Is the league title now beyond Manchester City do you think? And if so, where was the league lost and where will City have to improve next season?

"I don't agree with you. We want, and we can win, the title."
