Nice Coach Lucien Favre has heaped praise on Mario Balotelli, describing him as ‘receptive, happy and proud.’

The forward has made an immediate impact since arriving on the south coast of France, scoring four goals in his first two Ligue 1 appearances.

His goals have helped fire Nice to the top of the table, where they sit a point ahead of Paris Saint-Germain after six games.

“I speak to Mario every day, he seems very receptive,” Favre told reporters. “He has finally returned to being a happy and proud player.”
