FIFA Confederations Cup 2013: Italy vs Mexico- Top five players to watch out for

1. Mario Balotelli

The Italian striker has had a good couple of months at AC Milan ever since his exit from Manchester City. However, he was back to his controversial best as he picked up a red card against the Czech Republic last Friday in a World Cup qualifier. He can make or break a game for Italy, and the Azzurri will have to keep a tab on his on-field antics; but if he does turn up in his best behaviour, he can be a force to reckon with. He is unlikely to have the support of his Milanese partner Stephan El Shaarawy, who will be on the sidelines nursing a minor ankle injury. He will give the Italian team that much required pace at the head of the formation.
