Life has been tough at Anfield for Mario Balotelli admits Kolo Toure
The defender has spoken out about how hard his teammate has found his return to the Premier League after completing a £16m summer switch from AC Milan.
Balotelli has scored just twice in 22 appearances in all competitions – and none in the league – and Toure has admitted that the Italy international has found things tough.
“Balotelli is a world-class player but of course it has been a tough period for him. I try to help him by talking to him, everyone knows he is a good player. Strikers need to score goals and when they don’t their confidence is affected,” the 33-year-old told Aftonbladet.
