Moratti: Balotelli has Inter future

MILAN - Troubled Mario Balotelli has a
future at Inter Milan despite being left out of the squad for
Tuesday's 1-0 Champions League win at Chelsea, president Massimo
Moratti has said.
The 19-year-old striker has clashed repeatedly with coach
Jose Mourinho, and fevered speculation over why he was not in
the squad has taken some of the limelight away from Inter's
qualification for the quarter-finals after an impressive 3-1
aggregate defeat of Chelsea.

"Mourinho made the right decision and if he made the right
decision it means that the others aren't doing their best for
the club," Moratti told Inter's website.
"Balotelli has the talent and ability to be a serious
professional. He will show us this and then we will all be at
peace again."
Balotelli, an Italian of Ghanaian descent, has endured a
difficult 12 months in which he was racially abused by Juventus
supporters in April and AS Roma fans in June.
