"Phil Jagielka can handle Mario Balotelli" say Gareth Barry

Gareth Barry say Mario Balotelli might be the diffrence between England and Italy,so the Manchester city defender who spent last season at Everton thinks Phil Jagielka  will be able to stop the Italian powerhouse.Barry has been teammates with Balotelli before at Manchester city and knows what the striker is capable of.

England will face Italy in there first group game.Italy will be hoping Balotelli can bring England back to the ground.Barry is quoted as saying by The People: "With the strengths Jags has got, he is not going to have a problem against Mario.

"The best compliment I can give him is that, until you train every day and play with someone, you don't really know sometimes how good a player they are going to be and Jags is certainly in that category.

"I obviously knew he was a top player, but to see him close up every day and play with him, he is really top class."(soccerheatbase)
