Noel Gallagher Meets Mario Balotelli













Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has urged Mario Balotelli to take heed of Italy coach Cesare Prandelli's warning over his behaviour... as rock and roll star Noel Gallagher turned up at Carrington to greet the cult hero.

Gallagher dedicated a song at his O2 Arena show in London last weekend to the controversial Italian and the pair hit it off as they met at City's training headquarters.

Speaking last month, the songwriter and City fan said: 'OK, he's a footballer, but I bet if he picked up an instrument he’d be amazing.

'He restores your faith in human nature! I’m so proud he’s playing for Man City. You see him when he’s not in his football kit and you just think, ‘He fucking looks cool as f**k! He's a total rock'n'roller.'

And Mancini's warning comes after Balotelli was left out of the squad for Italy's international friendly defeat by the United States this week with Prandelli publicly citing the player's indiscipline as a reason.

The 21-year-old has been sent off twice for City this season and missed eight games through suspension, although three of them were a European ban hanging over from last year.
