MARIO BALOTELLI knows more than most…if you don’t shoot, you don’t score.
The maverick Italian has been trying to win back the affections of stunning ex-girlfriend Rafaella Fico after commenting “my goodness what an a***” as she showed off her squats on Instagram.

The couple have a young daughter together named Pia, 6, but split up back in 2012.
Rafaella recently shared a video that caught her former flame’s attention after posting a video of her doing weighted squats to her 384,000 followers, which she captioned: “Today might be enough, dead.”
Never one to miss a tap-in, Balotelli commented: “my goodness what an a***.”
The comment did not go unnoticed after it received over 5,300 likes and a response from Fico herself saying: “You can say that loud daddy.”
The 31-year-old recently hinted that she could be open to dating her baby-daddy again after reportedly saying: “Return with Balotelli? never say never, we have a great relationship, we are very good friends. “

Local media also report Fico and Ballotelli are on good terms despite going through a very difficult period a few years ago.
The Brescia striker only acknowledged he was the father of their child following a paternity test in February 2014, but he has since called Pia “a dream come true”.
Ballotelli was recently seen with his young daughter in his arms prior to a Serie A match against Napoli as Fico and Pia live in Naples.
Former teammate Michah Richards recently revealed the 29-year-old was such a notorious troublemaker at Manchester City that the club would have fined him over £100,000 by Christmas.
After Chelsea’s fine sheet was leaked online, the ex-England defender gave his take on Frank Lampard’s rule of law which would have tripped up Balotelli.
He told 5 Live: “£20,000 late for the starting of training – that is a lot. But everything else seems to be in sync.
“But Balotelli was always late.
“We used to give all of our money to charities so by Christmas time we’d have £100,000 or £150,000 in there just from Balotelli.
“He would be in the building. Say we had a meeting upstairs – he’d just be downstairs relaxing. He’d come to the meeting but he was just a bit dozy.”
