Mario Balotelli Never Lost Talent, He Just Needed Believing In Says Brother

Indeed, Balotelli scored a superb free-kick in Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Udinese after being handed a first start of the new campaign by Mihajlovic, who heaped praise on the much-maligned forward after the match.

Despite winning three Bundesliga titles, Magath has not worked in Germany since he was sacked by Wolfsburg in October 2012 amid reports he had denied his players water after a cross country run.

Giacomo Bonaventura doubled the visiting team’s advantage just five minutes later, and Cristian Zapata headed home their third on the stroke of half time.

If Milan were overawed by the hostile atmosphere at a packed San Siro, it didn’t show as they shaded a lively first half and produced a solid performance after the restart.

The statistics are an indication of what Adnan provides to Udinese. Back a 0-0 draw between the two sides at 8/1 with bet365.

Roma were stunned by Gregoire Defrel’s solo goal after 22 minutes at the Stadio Olimpico before Totti, left out against Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday, sprang into action.

There seemed to be no place for him in the team, though now, after being given a chance against Inter, Montolivo looks like an integral piece in Mihajlovic’s midfield puzzle.

“I am ready for the derby, I cannot wait for Sunday, it’s sure to be emotional and challenging but I am not afraid”. His 88.3 per cent pass accuracy, according to WhoScored, is a testament to his technical quality.

They then brought in Balotelli from Liverpool on a one-year loan deal instead and Berlusconi has no regrets over Milan’s transfer dealings.

The Independent has launched a new football app!

Ibahimovic, who has just a year remaining on his contract in Paris, has also played for Milan before.

He believes the reason Balotelli is excelling at AC Milan is because Mihajlovic and his coaching staff have faith in his talent.
