Italy coach Cesare Prandelli says the World Cup could be the making of AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli.
Prandelli knows Balotelli divides opinion amongst Azzurri fans.
"On Balotelli, I have always said that in the national team he has never behaved outside the rules. He has played important matches, he has a very high goal average and I value him for what he has done and still does in an Azzurri shirt.
"He knows that the World Cup can be the opportunity of a lifetime for a footballer."
