The Ajax boss feels the Italy star can get his team
results on his own, but he is confident of getting a result against Milan if
his team can maintain the right attitude.
Ajax coach Frank de Boer says AC Milan striker Mario
Balotelli can decide matches for his team in a similar manner to Barcelona star
Lionel Messi.
The Argentine netted a hat-trick during the Blaugrana's
4-0 rout of the Dutch giants in their first Champions League match of this
season a fortnight ago.
And, ahead of their meeting with the Rossoneri, De Boer
has warned his troops that Balotelli can have the same impact.
"Messi is a player that can decide a match and with
Balotelli it's the same," the 43-year-old said at a press conference.
"Balotelli is a fantastic player and next to him are
players who can also make the difference. Milan have three very strong forwards
and and a good midfield."
Despite Milan being favourites to win the match, the Ajax
coach is confident his side can gain something against Massimiliano Allegri's
men if they maintain focus for the whole game.
"But I am positive, I think that if we remain
focused for 90 minutes we can get a good result here," he continued.
"We will go into the match with a positive attitude.
We do not have a team that can hang back and play on the counter but they do.
"The most important thing is that we try to take
three points."
