导出博客文章PARIS -- Striker Mario Balotelli will grab headlines for the right reasons after
scoring with a penalty and a header on his Nice debut in an entertaining 3-2
home win against Marseille on Sunday.He took just seven minutes to score his
first goal in France, the latest stop in a career dominated more in recent years
by off-field antics than goals. Late on, he cleverly found space to nod home
from close range in the 78th as Nice moved level on points with Monaco at the
top.Balotelli has a reputation as a surly player but was all smiles after the
final whistle. He hugged teammates, shared a joke with match officials and led
celebrations with the fans.He was so relaxed that he was face down on the
massage table when given the man-of-the-match award by TV broadcaster Canal
Plus.Its perfect, Balotelli said in English, before trying his luck in decent
French. I am very happy, thanks. Now ... massage.In just one game, he scored as
many league goals as the two previous seasons combined. The 26-year-old Italian
had not scored a league goal since netting for AC Milan on Sept. 22 last
year.Despite not being fully fit, he looked sharp all game, almost setting up
teammate Alassane Plea with some impressive skill down the left on the hour mark
-- only for Plea to head wide.The match was dominated by players with a point to
prove after difficult recent experiences in the English Premier
League.Marseilles equalizer came from former Newcastle winger Florian Thauvin
with a fine shot into the top corner in the 14th. The visitors took the lead in
the 73rd thanks to a firm penalty from striker Bafetimbi Gomis, who joined
Marseille after two inconsistent seasons with Swansea.Midfielder Wylan Cyprien
won the game late on with a powerful 20-meter strike after latching onto Younes
Belhandas superb back heel.But it was all about Balotelli.He joined Nice in the
summer on a free transfer after leaving Liverpool -- and this is by far his
smallest club in a career that saw him grab early headlines as a 17-year-old for
Inter Milan. The one-time Manchester City striker, who still talks of himself as
a future Golden Ball winner, joined Liverpool two years ago as a replacement for
Barcelona-bound Luis Suarez.He managed only one goal in 16 league games in
England, prompting Liverpool to loan him to Milan last season -- where he scored
1 in 20.But just like he did with Inter and City, he scored on his club
debut.After the penalty was given, Balotelli stepped up confidently with Gomis
rushing up to him, shouting and clapping his hands in a bid to put him off.
Unruffled, Balotelli glared at Gomis and then focused himself again before
slotting into the bottom left corner.Moments before the goal, he had just failed
to reach Pleas cross from the right.Thauvin, who started only three league games
for Newcastle last season, missed another good chance in a frantic first half
where Balotelli had two other shots saved.If this is what Balotelli is like when
only half fit, then Nice fans are in for a treat when he hits peak form.Im
actually a little bit pleased for him, Gomis said. The French league needs
players like him.---ERDINGS BACKAfter a failed move to the German league, Turkey
forward Mevlut Erding feels right at home again in France.He scored a hat trick
for Metz in a 3-0 win at Nantes on Sunday, taking his tally to five goals in
four league games and putting him one goal behind top scorer Alexandre Lacazette
of Lyon.Erding joined promoted Metz this season following an unhappy spell with
Hannover in the Bundesliga last season, where he failed to score and was loaned
back to French club Guingamp after only 11 matches.Metz is in third
place.---RENNES 2, CAEN 0Striker Wesley Said scored his first goal for the club
and midfielder Sanjin Prcic grabbed his first of the season as Rennes scored
twice in the second half.
