The midfielder has heaped praise over the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan forward, claiming that he is a truly gifted footballer.
Spain’s Cesc Fabregas has voiced his appreciation regarding Italy’s prolific striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937.
The player has pointed out that his teammates will need to watch out for the Manchester City attacker, as he can pose a serious threat to any side.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 are set to lock horns in the final of the Euro 2012 on Sunday. As the match nears, players from both sides have taken out time to make their views vocal.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 footballer, being as vocal as he is, has also made his remarks prior to the showdown of the prestigious tournament. If it is not singing praises of his current club, the player takes the microphone to discuss his national side.
The midfielder has consistently attended press conferences, and this time he has done so in order to alert http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 del Bosque’s men against Balotelli.
While talking to reporters, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 captain quoted:
"Balotelli is a great player. He showed that yesterday by scoring two superb goals in a semi-final against a very strong team like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904. He'll be a threat, just like (Antonio) Cassano and the other strikers."
"They have a very competitive team. They are very experienced at the back and up front, and they have players who had excellent seasons for teams like AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus. Italy's defenders are very experienced, and they know when to attack
and when to defend.”
The forward scored two beautiful goals against Germany, in the Azzurri’s semi-final clash with Joachim Low’s men. Balotelli’s brace proved enough for the Blues and booked them a place in the most crucial match of the coveted competition.
The Spanish side’s concern is logical at this point, probably because they have been playing without a forward during the Euro. Del Bosque adopted the ‘false nine’ tactics and they have helped Spain reach their second consecutive Euro 2012 final.
The method has proven to be useful as La Roja paved their way to a third competitive international final in a row. However, it was at the expense of audiences worldwide who have the tendency to deem the tactics too boring.
The final between Spain and Italy will take place on 1st of July.
