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!

am not sure yet if he’s the Italian answer to Gazza or Amy…
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!
