Poulsen: Balotelli Is Highly Talented

Christian Poulsen has warned his new Liverpool teammates to be wary of Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli tomorrow night.

Former Juventus ace Poulsen is in line for his Premier League debut when Roy Hodgson takes his men to Eastlands, having witnessed the good, the bad and the ugly of the Blues’ new £24million striker in Italy.

He said: “Balotelli is a huge talent and he can develop into a really great player if he does the right things.

“I don’t know him personally because I have only played against him a few times, but he is a strong and very special young player.

“He had some problems at Inter Milan that he will have to learn to overcome. I am told he didn’t really integrate himself into the group mentality of the team – that will always be a problem.

“But it will be good for him that Mancini is once again his manager because he has worked with him before and he’ll know what works with Balotelli.”
