Nice striker Mario Balotelli has refused to consider his time with Liverpool in a lengthy French interview.

Balotelli gave a wide-ranging interview about his colourful career so far on Wednesday - but refused to discuss his time at Liverpool.

He told RMC: "Don't speak to me about Liverpool please.

"I have never been someone who wants to talk the whole time. When I was young, I never lost my head.

"I had a way of life, like every other young person. Me, I love my family a lot. I have very few friends, but they are my true friends.

"There are few people who are close to me. I don't care what people think. They only see me on the pitch for 90 minutes a week."
