da fezbet： Scott Parker reveals that he holds no grudges towards Mario Balotelli, as the pair gets ready to face-off in tomorrow’s quarter final.
da winzada777： Balotelli was given a four game ban for stamping on Parker’s head at the Etihad Stadium last season; however Parker says whether the Italian meant to do it is neither here nor there and he has moved on from that incident:
“Whether Balotelli meant to do what he did or not, I don’t know, he got punished for it and obviously has served his punishment so I am not holding any grudges.”
Parker is under no illusions that Balotelli poses a threat on the pitch, but believes he is one of many Italy players that England will have to work hard to stop:
“Of course, he’s a threat, and we have all seen his quality.
“I can only really comment on his footballing ability. He is one of many in their team that we will have to take a tough line on.”
