The striker's team-mate has praised his colleague but says the mental aspect of his game is preventing him reaching his true potential
Nice’s Valentin Eysseric has said that team-mate Mario Balotelli’s attitude is the only thing preventing him from becoming indispensable to his side.
The Italy international, who has nine Ligue 1 goals this season, was dropped to the bench for Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Saint-Etienne.
24-year-old attacking midfielder Eysseric was deployed in preference to the former Liverpool and Inter star, and was full of praise for his colleague but for one aspect of his game.
