Sneijder: Man City striker Balotelli can be stupid off pitch

Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder isn't surprised by Mario Balotelli's impact at Manchester City.

Balotelli has bagged 10 goals in his first 17 games for City since his £24million switch last summer and Sneijder is not surprised by the Italian international's impressive strike rate.

Sneijder told the Manchester Evening News: "Sometimes as a player he is amazing because he can do crazy things on the pitch.

"But outside of the pitch he can do crazy things, stupid things sometimes. He knows this because I talked many times with him last year.

"He is still young and sometimes he loses control."
