Brescia coach Fabio Grosso insists Mario Balotelli needs to take a look at himself after a difficult week.

Balotelli was jettisoned early from training and could miss today's clash with Roma.

Grosso said, "I prefer to talk about the team rather than underline less important issues.

“What happened with Balotelli is something I'd already experienced in the past. I demand great intensity and a high tempo in my training sessions. When that doesn't happen, I prefer to change and make the session tougher.

“He didn't do that and was set to one side. I don't want to minimise the incident, nor blow it out of proportion. It will be crucial for me to use everyone at my disposal, but I can only do so much. At a certain point, he has to help himself.

“You will know of disciplinary action, but I prefer to communicate these things to the players first myself. It'll be for the good of the team. I don't deny what I said about Mario, because I still really want to use his characteristics for the side.

“It's going to be a difficult campaign, so we must be able to suffer under pressure and fight hard. I chose to do what I did. We want to achieve our objectives together, through work. I am convinced we have the qualities to achieve great results."
