Balotelli has found life tough at Liverpool –Toure

Kolo Toure has admitted his Liverpool team-mate Mario Balotelli is going through a tough period at the club but said he is trying to help him through it.
Balotelli has yet to score a Premier League goal since moving to Anfield from Milan during the summer, and has found himself on the substitutes’ bench since returning from injury last month. Touré believes the Italian striker’s confidence has been affected by the goal drought, but has insisted he has the ability to come good.
“Balotelli is a world-class player but of course it has been a tough period for him,” Touré told the Swedish paper Aftonbladet. “I try to help him by talking to him, everyone knows he is a good player. Strikers need to score goals and when they don’t their confidence is affected. But as I said he is world class.”
