Balotelli names toughest defender he ever faced

Mario Balotelli, a former Inter Milan striker, has revealed the hardest defense he has ever faced.

Chelsea center-back Thiago Silva is the toughest defender he has ever faced, according to the ex-Italy international.

Muschi Selvaggio’s show recently featured the former Manchester City player.

Balotelli ran across Silva on multiple times while playing for Iter Milan between 2009 and 2010, while the defender was on loan from city rivals AC Milan.

He confessed that the Brazilian is really powerful.

“I’d say Thiago Silva.” One of the most powerful [defenders] I’ve ever seen. He’s really powerful!” he said.
