Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli was taken off early in a friendly at LA Galaxy after his manager thought he was failing to take the match seriously.
The 20-year-old was clear on goal but, instead of shooting, opted to drag the ball back before backheeling it wide.
“I hope this is a lesson,” said boss Roberto Mancini, who denied Balotelli may have thought that he was offside.
“If you [Balotelli] are serious, you can play 90 minutes. If not, you can come and sit by me on the bench.”
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I don’t know much about soccer, but in all sports, if the athlete won’t focus they need to grab some pine. Good coaching!
