Mancini demands Mario focus

Roberto Mancini has told Mario Balotelli to do his talking on the pitch but admits that it might take a couple of months for the striker to settle at Manchester City.
Balotelli made the move to Eastlands from Inter Milan over the summer but his City career has yet to really get going due to injury.
He played in the 2-1 defeat to Wolves at the weekend before limping out of training on Tuesday with a thigh strain, although he is expected to be fit for the Europa League game against Lech Poznan.
The 20-year-old developed a reputation for having a fiery personality during his time in Italy and has so far collected two yellow cards from just three appearances for his new club.
Mancini has therefore instructed Balotelli to keep his concentration on performing as well as possible, which he accepts could take some time.
Fellow summer recruit David Silva has only recently started showing his best form and Mancini is confident Balotelli will progress in the same way.
"It is better that he doesn't talk, just play. He needs to get a focus on the match," Mancini said in the Daily Express.
"He has been out for a long time and now just needs to play games.
"Maybe he still needs to understand English football, like David Silva when he first arrived.
"It took David two months to adapt and maybe it will take Mario the same.
"But people will see that he is a fantastic player."
