Balotelli urges Roma fans to get behind Mourinho: We have beautiful relationship

Adana Demirspor striker Mario Balotelli insists Jose Mourinho will be good for Roma.

Balotelli played for Mourinho at Inter Milan.

He told OWCsport: "I'm not following Italian football, but I, unlike what everyone says, have a beautiful relationship with Mourinho. We also felt it.

"The teams he had had fantastic players, but he had a superpower to create a super team at the level of these players. Give him some time, because he is very good at this too.

"He only arrived a few months ago. He won the Champions League with Porto, the players were strong but not phenomenal at that time. He has shown that he can win even independently of the teams. Then it is normal that if you are one of the best you will get the strongest teams, like Messi and Ronaldo.

"I like Roma very much, as well as Lazio, but with all due respect it is normal that someone like Mourinho expects himself at Real or Bayern. It takes time."
