Marseille's Jordan Ayew: 'I am not a trouble-maker like Mario Balotelli'

Jordan Ayew says that he does not see himself as a bad apple and points out that Mario Balotelli does far worse things than he does.

Marseille striker Jordan Ayew has defended his reputation and says that he is not a mischief-maker like AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli.

The 21-year-old was recently criticised by Marseille assistant coach Franck Passi for an altercation with Paris Saint-Germain midfielder David Beckham last week.

"My dad (Abedi Pele) is the first one to ask me not to stir things up," he told L'Equipe. "But he was a footballer, he knows what happens on the pitch.

"I think it's a bit too much. In Paris, because it was Beckham, the affair took on impossible proportions. If it had been [PSG's Clement] Chantome or whoever else, it wouldn't have been talked about.

"It pisses me off. People take the mickey. What do I honestly do? Not half of what Balotelli does, for example. In reality, I do nothing. Now, I'm going to shut up, you'll see, to the end of the season."

Ayew has been at Marseille since 2006.
