Enoch Barwauh, the junior brother of Ghanaian-Italian star - Mario Balotelli, has revealed he suffered racial abuse while playing for his amateur league side Vallecamonica played Darfo Boario in a derby game on Sunday.

The 22-year-old, who has not been able to get to the levels of his super-star brother, was in action for his non-league side, as he has revealed when the abused occurred.

“They called me a dirty n****o, made monkey noises and even brought my brother Mario into it," he revealed.

“In all honesty I didn’t understand why they were so focused on me. At the start of the game I was annoyed, as the chants were irritating, but then I pretended not to hear them.

“It’s not the first time, although I had not been insulted like this for a long while. People who behave this way do not even deserve me wasting time to think about them.

Barwuah, a biological brother of the Liverpool star, has not been able to take his talent to the levels of his brother as he has not been able to play for any recognizable big name club.

Three seasons ago, he underwent trials with English Premier League side West Ham United but failed to impress the club.

Unlike his elder brother, Barwuah has insisted on playing for Ghana if he ever becomes a football star.
