Mario Balotelli happy being part of AC Milan triumph

Mario Balotelli was delighted to be part of AC Milan's victory over Udinese.

Balotelli was among the goalscorers for Milan in the 3-2 win.

“We were winning 3-0 and got distracted, so we really can't end up 3-2 in that situation," SuperMario told Mediaset Premium.

“We are a group of fighters and we fought to the end, bringing home a difficult but important result. We conceded two stupid goals, but kept fighting and for that I compliment my teammates.

“I worked for the team, as I always do. It was a difficult game for me, because I knew they were trying to provoke me. I got a booking that ruined my night a bit, but I am nonetheless happy with my performance.

“I am slowly getting a few chips off my shoulder, because in recent years between Italy and England they said so much, but I stayed in silence.

“Defenders provoke me? Either they get a yellow card or my leg, but they're not going to get the ball.

“In the locker room and in my life I am a completely different person to the one that has been described."
