AC Milan chief Adriano Galliani has jumped to the defence of Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli has been attacked by his Italy teammates after their World Cup exit.
"I don't understand why people are only criticising Mario Balotelli, the only forward who scored a goal and the only attacker who created goal-scoring chances," Galliani said to Tuttomercatoweb.com.
"The other attackers did not even threaten. It almost seems that Balotelli has gone out [of the tournament].
"I don't understand it, the concept escapes me. Obviously the only footballer Italy has is Balotelli, because everyone only talks about him."
Galliani continued: "Buffon and De Rossi's words? They are not Milan players and I will keep what I think to myself.
"I'm talking about Balotelli who is a Milan player. I repeat, he is the only forward who scored a goal and who threatened to score a goal.
"You didn't notice the others on the pitch in my opinion, so I don't understand."
