Down to Ten Men

The Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo has said that he is not sure whether the French international Florent Malouda will play for the club again. The 31-year-old has recently been frozen out of the first team action and has been ordered to train with the reserves.

The Chelsea manager Roberto de Matteo has said that he has taken this decision along with the players due to the fact that Florent Malouda was not in his plans this season. The French international is out of contract at the end of the season. He already tried to engineer a move away from the club in the summer, but the proposed move to Brazilian club Santos fell through due to his excessive wage demands.

The Italian national team manager Cesare Prandelli has said that the Manchester city striker Mario Balotelli has a future with the national team, but he needs to sort out his attitude. Mario Balotelli has been recognised as one of the best talents in the world football, with many claiming that he has the capability to go on and win many individual accolades.

However, he has also been causing a lot of problems with his poor attitude, which has been a cause of concern for the Italian national team manager. Despite this, he picked him for the Euro 2012 and Balotelli did not disappoint after he was one of the stars of the major tournament.

Manchester city manager Roberto Mancini has said that striker Mario Balotelli should prove that his displays after the Euro 2012 are not a flash in the pan and that he should continue doing the same in the Premier league as well.

Mario Balotelli has been criticised a lot since his £ 24 million move from Inter Milan two seasons ago, with fans expecting him to net as many as Fernando Torres did in his first season in England. However, he displayed the reason for Roberto Mancini having the faith in the 21-year-old by performing quite brilliantly in the Euro 2012. He was one of the reasons for helping Italy making it into the final of the tournament.

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli's agent has said that his client's unsellable before, but he is now untouchable. The Italian had an excellent Euro 2012 after emerging as one of the top scorers with three goals in the competition.

He also helped Italy qualify for the final of the competition, although he could not prevent Spain from romping to a 4-0 victory in the final of the competition. It was said during the final few months of the last Premier league campaign that Manchester city would be interested in selling the Italian, who has caused a lot of troubles at Eastlands.

Manchester city striker Mario Balotelli has said that he would not think twice when it comes to killing anyone who racially abuses him at the Euro 2012. Mario Balotelli will be travelling with the Italian squad for the Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.

Both countries have a history of racism, which has been highlighted by the British media. A number of black players currently playing in the UK will be travelling to Poland and Ukraine to play in the Euro 2012. Mario Balotelli is among them, but the Italian striker admitted that he would not be willing to tolerate any kind of racism.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has said that the club's hopes of finishing in the top four this season looks finally over after suffering a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle in the latest midweek action. It has been a tough fixture list for Chelsea over the last few weeks.

It finally took its toll after the club managed to lose the most important match 2-0, while it also handed rivals Newcastle United with a major opportunity to finish in the top four. After the match, in which Petr Cech was beaten by two extraordinary goals from Newcastle United striker Cisse, Cech admitted that finishing in the top four will now be tough with only two matches remaining and five points required to be dropped by two teams.
