The Parallel Lives of the Balotelli Brothers. Mario, the Latest Failure Hurts. Enock Finds a Team and Goals in Serie D
The former Azzurri player was “discarded” by Genoa three months after signing: Venezia or Monza are the possible destinations. Barwuah junior, on the other hand, changed three shirts in a single season and now with Ospitaletto he is finally smiling.

Dreams and regrets, joys and disappointments, sudden stops and confident restarts. Parallel lives, sometimes reckless, destinies that have never crossed but often similar, now opposite. They always make the news Balotelli Brothers, for better or for worse. On the field or when there is gossip to talk about. The latest fall, resounding, is still of Mario. And it is not clear why his new adventure with Genoa, where former coach Alberto Gilardino wanted him three months ago, is already over. Instead, he has started again Enock, with enthusiasm and that humility that never hurts. And he enjoys his happy days in Serie D, with the sparkling "orange" shirt ofOspitaletto, a club that is aiming for promotion.
Mario and Enock, the former kids who twenty years ago were looking for glory by chasing a ball. For both of them, a career very similar to a roller coaster. Too many ups and downs. Take Mario, for everyone a “wasted talent“: he had returned happily to Italy in mid-autumn, ready to show that he was still a real footballer. And instead, no. In Genoa he found more obstacles than opportunities on his path, collecting the misery of less than an hour of play (zero goals), never a starter, benchwarmer or in the stands. And now, after weeks of tension with Patrick Vieira (who replaced Gilardino) and a few too many exclusions from the squad, the breakup is inevitable.
"Mario still has a great desire to play, but at Genoa he is not finding the minutes he would like. He has dropped in the hierarchy and there are players ahead of him. We are working to find him a place...", the words of the rossoblù ds Ottolini. The future? There has been no shortage of enquiries, from Empoli to Venezia, from Bari to Trapani, up to Monza (a return). But no one has made any concrete moves. And the player on social media recommends "not to write nonsense about my physical condition and my future. Thank God I'm fine".
He's fine Enock, SuperMario's brother. To tell the truth, the football season was also eventful for him: he started with Ciliverghe, then in the autumn he moved to Pro Palazzolo (16 appearances and 3 goals), then at the beginning of January he returned toOspitaletto (where he had already been, in Eccellenza, in 2022-2023). The Brescians are flying in the championship, Enock came off the bench on Sunday, scoring the 4-2 goal in the victory on the Arconatese pitch and now he wants to get some satisfaction. He who has always been (like his brother) an off-field star. His participation in Big Brother Vip in 2020 did not go unnoticed. After touring half of Europe (from Malta to the fourth English division to Turkey) and the amateur championships, and the wedding in the summer of 2023 with Giorgia Migliorati, Enock starts again. Between a desire for personal rebirth and the dream of a lifetime kept in a drawer: playing in Manchester. Like Mario.
