Inter Milan boss Mancini talks Cassano, Balotelli: Antonio should've stayed with Real Madrid

Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini feels Antonio Cassano should've done more with his career.

Mancini worked with Cassano at Sampdoria and remains a fan of the Parma striker.

He stated: "Cassano? He is a player that could have done a lot with his qualities, I know that he could do more. He should have stayed at Real Madrid and become one of the greatest."

Mancini was also asked about Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli.

"With Balotelli, there was not a fight. I told him to pay attention because a player had just returned from injury, he obviously went wrong and I wanted to turn away, but for his physical size it was difficult. Then the paparazzi photographed everything and it seemed a fight, but it was not.

"I love him and I hope every day he can return to be the player of a few years ago."
