Mario Balotelli has refused to discuss his troubled time at Liverpool, but was happy to criticise Paris Saint-Germain, calling them a team of individuals. The Italian striker, now at Nice, asked an interviewer not to mention his spell at Anfield, where he scored just one Premier League goal in two years after a £16million move from AC Milan.
Balotelli, 26, is attempting to revive his career in the south of France. He expressed a desire to stay with Nice for life if the club can reach a European level, saying: 'I would sign for life here. If the football was at a European level, to live here, to have a new training centre, I cannot think of anywhere better.'
The former Manchester City forward was more forthcoming about PSG, claiming they have not impressed as much as rivals Monaco this season. He attributed their decline to the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Manchester United.
'Monaco impress me more than PSG, much more. PSG have good players but they don't play as a team,' Balotelli told RMC. 'Without Zlatan they do not play like a team. They can win against anyone, they can lose to anyone. Zlatan was the boss, without him it is not the same.'
Balotelli added that PSG have 'phenomenons' like Thiago Silva and Angel Di Maria, but described Edinson Cavani as a great player rather than a phenomenon.
