Nice to see you, Mario... Fans converge to greet Balotelli
The Italian striker trained with his new teammates at Nice for the first time on Thursday and was the centre of attention.
"Mario Balotelli will train with us on Thursday and be officially presented to the press on Friday," announced Nice, who came fourth in Ligue 1 last season, after signing "Super Mario".
"We know, he and the club, that it will not be simple, but with desire and support from the fans, he cam blossom here and bring all his talent to the service of the team," Nice president Jean-Pierre Rivere said.
"We hope that in the family atmosphere at this club, he will start to enjoy his game again."
