Balotelli has been prolific during his rebirth at Nice. Nice are first in the standings and Super Mario believes they can win the title: “I came to Nice with the objective of winning something,” he told Telefoot. “The title? It is possible but difficult. We have only played eleven games. I am happy here, but can do even better. I want to score more goals. I am in form, but still not at the top of my game. I am at 60-70% because I had not played in a year. Here the fans are very passionate. In fact, they are the most passionate fans that I have seen. I am happy that the people love me.”
Balotelli then speaks about his regard for teammate, Plea, and gives a recommendation to Sakho: “The most impressive player at Nice? Plea! He can certainly become a top player. Sakho does not play at Liverpool? He is one of the best defenders I have ever seen. He deserves to play and should leave. I told him to come to Nice… I will ask him again. For January? Let’s hope. The Golden Ball? I would give it to Suarez.”
