There’s a new Mario Balotelli controversy, as it’s reported Cesare Prandelli was angered by ‘a lazy warm-up’ and using his iPad on the bench.

The Manchester City striker only played for the final six minutes of Friday’s Euro 2012 qualifier against the Faroe Islands.

It is now claimed he was set to come on early in the second half, but Coach Prandelli decided to delay the change after seeing his ‘lazy warm-up’ on the touchline.

There are even suggestions Balotelli was too distracted to pay attention to the game, as he brought his iPad with him on to the bench.

It remains to be seen how Prandelli will use this behaviour when making his decision on the starting XI against Slovenia.

If Italy win that game at the Stadio Franchi on Tuesday evening, they will be automatically qualified for Euro 2012.

Do we expect any different?

Either way, whatever.

joke of a player

unbelievable, just when you thought he couldn't get any lower, he does something like this... i mean i thought that most stories about him were just made up and that he was still alright but there's simply no excuse for owning an ipad

he was playing Hearts, according to twitter rumours.

doing fine, but lost focus when Cassano scored, and lost 13 points after catching the Queen of Spades #balotelli

When are they going to make a song for Balotelli?

What a stupid stronzo.

He can do that at plastic Man City, but if he thinks he can get away with his petulance at the Azzuri, then he can F off.

Does he know his opportunity or who he represents?

idiot.
Absolute moron

Lol leave the guy alone. He will mature and prove himself one day. Until then

Balo would be here I honestly think but he needs to do a major changes in his attitude, mostly the worrying stuf I hear about him not working hard in training. So, I rule him out for now.

From the top 10 players in 5 years thread.

Balo, this is the stuff im talking about lol

Balotelli !

Ive always defended exaggerated accusations if balotelli, however if THIS is true I have zero defense for it.

Why was he playing hearts on an Ipad? :?:

If he wanted to troll, he could have taken it a step further and put on some porn.

Lol , balotelli just needs to calm down , His attitude could actually be good for the team if he put it to better use : See Marcelo.

How many BPL starts do you think he's gonna get at City this season?
I'm guessing two..

Unless there are injuries NONE. Carling cup and FA cup he will though.
