Nice’s director general Julien Fornier explains Mario Balotelli’s revival – “all his former clubs tried to give him rules, we don’t”.
The striker had to agree to a strict code of conduct to return to Milan on loan last year, but the Rossoneri opted not to make the deal permanent this summer.
Liverpool then sold Super Mario to Les Aiglons, and he’s scored seven goals in his first nine games.

“All his former clubs have tried to give him rules, we don’t,” Fornier explained to Il Messaggero.
“We have our rules for the pitch and within the squad, but they’re the same for everyone. He’s a nice and easy to manage player, like his teammates.
“Nice is a family environment, but with rules that apply to everyone, without any special exceptions.
“We told him about our project, our club and our fans who are very warm and passionate. It’s not by chance that our training sessions are open to the public.”
