AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli is happy playing for coach Clarence Seedorf.

Seedorf suggested this week Balotelli "will become a champion," but isn't quite there yet. Mario assures he was not offended.

"Seedorf really fires me up. We have a good rapport because he says things to your face and I like that. Am I a champion? These are things you journalists say. I believe you can tell a champion by what he does on the pitch."
