Mario Balotelli is an important
player for Genoa, new boss Patrick Vieira said ahead of this
weekend's clash against fellow strugglers Cagliari at the
Ferraris.
"I know Mario well, he's a player and a person I've always
liked," said the Arsenal and France legend, who had the
mercurial former Italy striker under his wing at Nice.
"Even as a player he's an important player, who knows how to
score goals.
"Now he has to continue working, he's done it very well.
"Now he has to be available to the team and the club to win
matches.
"He's an important player".
