Centre of attention: Balotelli has been given the No 9 shirt ahead of this summer's tournament
In an interview with France Football, the striker insists he is a misunderstood 'genius' and said he hopes to stay at City despite a series of controversies.
'It's not easy when ''call girls'' talk in the newspapers or when people say they have seen me here or there during the evening,' he said.
