Motta: Balotelli can make difference

Italy midfielder Thiago Motta believes Mario Balotelli will be an influential figure for the Azzurri at Euro 2012.

Paris St Germain midfielder Motta knows just what to expect from Balotelli - the pair were Inter Milan team-mates in the 2009/10 season – and reckons the volatile Manchester City striker could have a big role to play in Poland and Ukraine.
