AC Milan striker Balotelli confident working with Seedorf

AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli insists he can work with coach Clarence Seedorf.

Seedorf takes charge of his first game today against Hellas Verona.

"Personally I'm happy," Balotelli said of Seedorf's appointment. "It is only normal that during a management change there will be some confusion, but now we have a Coach who has won it all and played football until yesterday. It's natural you listen to him more because you're faced with a great champion.

"Our trust in him is immediate. He has very clear ideas and is decisive, so in my view things will go well. We hope. Seedorf was one of the best players in the world, so I doubt he needs much experience to get the hang of management. He will do well."

Balotelli was asked about his rapport with Allegri, which by the end appeared to be rather frayed.

"What did I say to Allegri? 'Goodbye.' We won a title with him, I consider him a good Coach and I wish him all the best for the future.

"As for Adriano Galliani, he's the best at his job and nobody can fire him."
