Italy coach Cesare Prandelli was excited about his first experience managing Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.
Prandelli insists Super Mario is nothing like the way he is portrayed in the Milan media.
"He's ready to play with us and with the Under-21s," said Prandelli. "He's not unmanageable ... I found a really amazing guy, he could do plenty of things.
"With Cassano, the impact has been positive, and more!
"We must empower the players. Sometimes we must manage them and not see them as spoiled children."
