Juventus defender Nicola Legrottaglie slammed Mario Balotelli over the Inter Milan striker's antics during last night's 1-1.
"It's not possible for a teenager to be doing these tricks, but he is too obvious about the provocation," blasted Legrottaglie.
"He kicked me twice from behind in the first half. He doesn't need to behave like this, it's blatant provocation.
"Perhaps someone told him he'd impress more if he did these things, but that's not the case. He is a champion of real talent and it only damages his career.
"I'm not saying he shouldn't have a bit of a knockabout, as it is a contact sport, but he does it in a way that has absolutely no fair play. It's not a positive message."
Balotelli's fancy footwork frustrated Tiago Mendes into a red card offence.
