Manchester City and Italy hitman Mario Balotelli, renowned for his eccentric behavior and lack of professionalism, is convinced that he will adopt a better attitude should he meet Brazil legend Ronaldo. The 20-year-old was left out of Italy's squad for their matches with Slovenia and Ukraine as Azzurri coach Cesare Prandelli said the talented international needs help to avoid ruining his career. Balotelli admitted doing 'stupid little things' and assured that recently-retired Ronaldo, his idol, could help him be a better footballer. "Introduce me to Ronaldo and I swear I'll behave to the end of my playing career," the former Inter Milan man told Le Iene television program. "I never met him, so you know when you see the idol of a lifetime it can change your way of thinking? "There are many great players, but Ronaldo was the greatest and so one word from him is worth a thousand from the others. "In any case, I already behave myself fairly well, but I'll try to stop doing those stupid little things. It happens. You'll soon see the real Mario on the field!"
