OM boss Garcia claims he sees ‘a bit of Francesco Totti’ in Mario Balotelli

Olympique Marseille boss Rudi Garcia claims he sees ‘a bit of Francesco Totti’ in Mario Balotelli.

“Keeping things in proportion, I see a bit of Totti in Balotelli’s ability to read the game,” he told Il Tempo.

“He can give us something different: he plays well with the team and has integrated quickly.

“He can defend lots of balls and has good vision. We knew he’d be a good teammate and we had confirmation of that before he arrived.

“He has quality and he’s happy with us too.”
