Manchester City's football
administrator Brian Marwood has
admitted Mario Balotelli is not a good
role model because of his behaviour at
the club
Balotelli has been involved in several
bust-ups with City boss Roberto
Mancini with the striker's antics
upsetting his fellow Italian.
Marwood believes Balotelli should be
following in the footsteps of some of
his team-mates by setting a good
example to the young players coming
through at the Etihad Stadium.
Asked what kind of role model Balotelli
represents, Marwood is quoted as
saying in the Sunday Mirror: "I think
that it's important to make a good
example.
"I think - and we all know who we are
talking about - that you will get people
within the system who do not show
the right values and the right
behaviour.
"In the main, we have a fantastic group
of players here.
"I look at [Pablo] Zabaleta, I look at
[Vincent] Kompany, I look at Joe Hart,
Gareth Barry and Joleon Lescott.
"I think we have a lot of players who
can behave in the right way.
"You just have to make sure that they
are the role models."
