Psychologically, it really gives confidence. We know we have the margin," he told reporters. "With Mario, we know there is still a lot of work in the movement to play with the team."His goal for 2-0, the angle was hard, the goalkeeper is good. He must continue like this. "He becomes aware that he will return to the top level if he is professional. After difficult years for him, the recovery will be the key to return to the top."Gradually, we will try to help him become stronger. Four goals in the first two Ligue 1 matches? No, I wasn't expecting that." Balotelli struck on the half-hour mark when he took a pass from Younes Belhanda before finishing across the goalkeeper and off the post.His second was a simple finish after being played through by Ricardo Pereira.</blockquote>
