Italy World Cup hero Salvatore Schillaci has slammed AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli.

Balotelli has been blamed for Italy's demise in Brazil.

Schillaci said: "Balotelli is not a champion. He is a young player who can give a great deal, but when he plays he always looks like he doesn't care.

"This is not the attitude of a champion and it was wrong to rely on him."
