Adana Demirspor striker Mario Balotelli says he would've stayed with Nice if not for Patrick Vieira.
Strasbourg coach Vieira was in charge of Nice before he left for Crystal Palace.
Former Manchester City striker Balotelli told So Foot: "I lived in Villefranche and it was crazy. I had a smile every day because mine was a dream life, really. The problem was the way Patrick Vieira wanted to play.
"It didn't really suit my characteristics. I didn't have any problem with him, I found it good, simply on a sporting level but I didn't agree with what he said.
"If I hadn't had these problems with him I would never have left Nice. I was really happy there."
