M.Allegri: M.Balotelli could become the new Z.Ibrahimovič at "Milan" club © EuroFootball.com

The head coach of AC Milan, Massimiliano Allegri, continues to praise Mario Balotelli and insists that he can become the new Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the club.

The controversial former Manchester City forward who arrived in Milan in the winter proved his worth by scoring 7 goals in 8 matches.

Meanwhile, the Swedish national team player is currently playing for PSG, but his goals as a forward in 2011 helped AC Milan win Serie A.

"Balotelli has the potential to become what Ibrahimovic was for our club," Allegri said before the match against Juventus.

"The media creates a lot of unnecessary stories about him. Mario leaves a positive impression on me, I can't say anything bad about him," added the coach.

Let's remind that today the teams of Juventus and Milan will clash in Turin.
