'Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has it easy'! Emmanuel Adebayor and Co vent frustration
Teacher's pet: City striker Balotelli [LNB]Roberto Mancini has had a blazing row with four Manchester City players who claim he is giving Mario Balotelli special treatment.[LNB]Emmanuel Adebayor, Shaun-Wright Phillips, Joleon Lescott and Wayne Bridge confronted their boss the day after the goalless Manchester derby, when striker Balotelli left training early, despite not having played the night before. [LNB]It is felt that Mancini, who recently accused players of laziness, does not apply his usual rules to the former Inter Milan striker, who arrived in August for £23million. [LNB]'The lads are not happy because they are not playing as much as they'd like to be, but they work hard,' said a source. 'Balotelli is Mancini's blue-eyed boy because he came from Inter.' [LNB]Adebayor was furious at having only played a few minutes as an injury-time substitute, and kicked over a tactics board after the game. [LNB]Balotelli is on a five-year contract but could be leaving next summer. He was seen dining with AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani this week. 'The likelihood is I will be at City up to June,' he said.[LNB] Disrespectful! I would not stab another manager in the back, insists Fulham boss HughesGrow up Mario!
