Balotelli: City can still win the title

Posted Friday, April 01, 2011 by UK.eurosport.yahoo.com

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has said that Manchester City can still win the Premier League and insists he is happy at the club.

Fourth-placed City are currently 10 points behind leaders Manchester United, have a significantly worse goal difference, and have only eight games left, but the Italian still believes they are in the hunt.

When asked by Goal.com in an interview 'where was the league lost?" Balotelli replied: "I don't agree with you. We want, and we can win, the title."

Balotelli has endured a troubled start to his career in England, having been sent off twice as well as suffering injury problems.

City manager Roberto Mancini has grown increasingly exasperated at the former Inter Milan striker's attitude as City enter a crucial phase of the campaign.

However Balotelli said: "I hope the fans know that I like it here and I am really proud to write the history of this club.

"It is a great experience. All the people at Manchester City are fantastic and you can see the club growing every day.

"I try every day to repay the trust the manager and the club showed in me by signing me. It is quite different from Italian football but I like it. The stadiums in the Premier League are fantastic and the way the supporters experience the game is extraordinary."
