Adriano Galliani hails Mario Balotelli

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has hailed Mario Balotelli following his performance against Parma in Serie A on Friday.

The Italian striker scored the Rossoneri's second goal in their 2-1 win at the San Siro from a direct free kick.

"I cannot remember such a soft tough to send the ball over the wall and we all remember Balotelli's powerful efforts but not the soft touches," Galliani told Milan's official website.

"It was [Sulley] Muntari and [Mario] Yepes who went over to [M'Baye] Niang and told him it was Balotelli's free kick, which shows what a great team effort it was.

The win lifted Milan to third place in the Serie A table.
