Italy coach Cesare Prandelli feels Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli needs better advisers.
Prandelli admits he feels Balotelli needs to be smarter off and on the pitch.
He said: "I was very clear with Balotelli. I told him that everyone recognises his extraordinary qualities and that I hope we talk about him for what he does on the pitch and not off it.
"He needs someone to advise him, some people to accompany him along the way. He says what he thinks and doesn't always say it in the right way."
