Not everything in life needs to be spelled out, but this is one of those things that really helps if you break it down internally while watching it.

This is Mario Balotelli, one of the most famous soccer players in the world and a striker for A.C. Milan. Yes, he is listening to Biggie while practicing extreme ironing (of a T-Shirt) and reading Zlatan Ibrahimovic book “I am Zlatan.”

No, there’s no making sense of it. That does not matter at all, not a single bit. Mario’s accompanying quote says it all.
