Tevez and Balotelli do the Man City Wrap (Video)

Two players having very different seasons, Balotelli and Tevez were brought together by the spirit of christmas... and their employer to wrap some presents.

“No wonder people say you are daft” is an immortal line from the Argentinian that could be used to describe so many events in Super Mario's life. You know it's a very special person that makes Carlos Tevez seem well adjusted and sensible.

The video is perhaps an insight into training and game situations between the two, a live motion metaphor if you like. Balotelli often needing guidance and being 'wacky', and Tevez quietly sighing to himself while doing his work and helping Balotelli with his.

Tevez turned up this season a new man. He looked leaner than ever and seemed to be back to that tireless attitude that saw him so highly rated. Balotelli returned from an incredibly successful European Championship campaign and went down from there.

After his 'hulk' game against Germany, many thought that Mario would be in for his real breakthrough season in England. But it hasn't turned out like that at all; injuries, dips in form, and now a court case against City make it his worst season yet.

The criticisms that were cast on Balotelli's performance against United and Mancini's selection of him were a bit harsh but had some basis. And just like wrapping presents, Tevez had the solution – he came on and put in a dedicated shift that saw City claw back into the game.

Maybe that 'solution' will start to proceed the problem and Balotelli will find himself left out more often, and who knows what havoc he'll wreak then.
