Balotelli thought his position in the team should be promising, because he was rearranged to play forward, and he scored the only goal of Nottingham Forest F.C. in that lost match. He considered himself the best player on the team in that match, but of course, the media didn't agree. One point of the game evaluation was the same among many different media people. They all agreed George Wood was the best player in Nottingham Forest F.C.
Balotelli admitted Wood's performance was not bad, but when it came to the best of the team, he could not admit anyone was superior to him.
In addition, more importantly, he had the faith that this goal made the new manager see his value clearly. That was a brilliant goal after the breakthrough of the double team!
Upon his thinking, Dunn called him over after the training ended.
"Do you have time, Mario? I want to talk to you privately."
