Materazzi blasts Boateng over AC Milan form

Inter Milan legend Marco Materazzi has launched a blistering attack on Kevin-Prince Boateng describing him as unfit to wear the number 10 jersey for rivals AC Milan.

The AC Milan man has lacked form this season after featuring in seven Seria A and two Champions League games so far this season.

The retired Ghana international who was given the famous No 10 shirt, has come under intense criticism after failing to live up to the form of his past last season.

The Inter Mian defender has questioned his status in the Rossoneri shirt and claims he does not measure to the standards set by Ibrahimovic and legendary Clarence Seedorf.

“It’s bad time for Boateng. He’s a great player with great shot but is not number 10,”Materazzi said

“Neither is he in the same class as personalities like Seedorf or Ibrahimovic.

“He needs to admit this fact and when he does, he will rediscover the true Boateng.”

The 25-year-old is yet to hit the form that made him one of the talked about players in Italy.

Boateng will reportedly be benched for Wednesday’s Champions League game against Spanish outfit Malaga.
