Fiorentina striker Giuseppe Rossi has jumped to the support of AC Milan's Mario Balotelli. Balotelli is under huge pressure after a poor World Cup.
"No great team should rotate around one single player," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "It takes a whole squad to divide tasks and responsibilities.
"It seems that everything depends on him. The focus on Mario is exaggerated so much.
"It puts such a heavy weight on players' shoulders when the pressure is that great."
