Materazzi tells Inter Milan pal Balotelli: Grow up!

Inter Milan defender Marco Materazzi has told teammate Mario Balotelli to grow up.

The young striker had another blazing row with coach Jose Mourinho during this week's Coppa Italia win over Fiorentina.

“Mario is a big kid who always wants to play,” warned veteran teammate Materazzi.

“He’s too childish. When we talk, I tell him that he should be more like me. I too would like to play all the time, but I can’t and I accept it.”

balotelli is just more ambitious mr.materazzi, see wayne rooney, just the same...he once threw his boots at players for being subbed, hes grown now and now a superb player, but he showed his determination to play, he has fire in his heart and he doesnt accept the fate of sitting on the bench...too many pussys in life and people wonder why they dont move foward...

Materazzi giving advice on pitch behaviour!!! Please...did not this man deliberately break an opponent's nose in a game with his elbow.

Take a look at this moron's history of tackles. Enough with the Bull!!!
