http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937 can help Manchester City go all the way in the Champions League
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has placed his faith in Italian striker Mario Balotelli, as the manager insists the forward has just what it takes to help City go all the way in the Champions League.
Following his move to the Etihad Stadium from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, the Italian forward was put under the microscope and with him making a fool of himself time and time again, many believed that his career would be over before it even started.
Nonetheless, over the course of the last few weeks, Balotelli has gone ahead and really turned himself around. The player has shown a new sense of maturity and has managed to stay away from the media. His antics are at an all time low and it seems like the
striker might finally be turning into the player that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 believed he could become.
The manager saw the striker score for the team against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 and his goal proved to be the pivotal moment in the game, which helped the team pick up a four goals to nil win. Mancini now believes that the forward can take this form with him into the Champions
League and help his side go all the way in the tournament.
When talking about the striker, Mancini is quoted to have said: "I'm happy with him [Balotelli]"
"I'm sure this time he will continue to play well. He will become our lethal weapon in the Champions League."
After expressing his delight with Balotelli and the way that the striker had been playing lately, the manager then turned his attention to the team and stated that City were finally looking like a real team and the only thing they lacked now was experience.
"We are a real team, we lack only experience. I'm happy."
City have almost always been overshadowed by Manchester United, but it seems like the blue side of Manchester is finally ready to give their rivals a run for their money.
At the moment City are tied on point with Manchester United in the Premier League and the only thing that is separating the two teams is their goal difference.
Looking at the current situation that City are in, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Tevez heading for an exit at the club. Most of the team’s goal scoring responsibilities now lay on the shoulders of Edin Dzeko and Balotelli.
Nonetheless, the way the two forwards have been playing so far this season, City might just be able to overturn their goal difference in the near future.
