Manchester City’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Micah-Richards-c25259 has no problem with Mario Balotelli
Manchester City defender and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937 having a go at each other during a training session, as he believes the two were just being overly passionate.
The City players were captured mouthing off and then being held back by their team mates, as it looked like the two might end up getting into a fist fight.
The argument began during the team’s training session, prior to their game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429. It is believed that Balotelli said something to Richards and from then on, the conversation turned into a rather serious argument.
Nonetheless, Richards has confirmed that the two put their differences aside later on and shook hands after the training session was complete.
In order to prevent any rumours developing, the defender took to his Twitter page to clear the air and is quoted to have said: “Me & Mario are all good! these things happen in training & we shook hands after. it shows passion!"
Irrelevant of whether the two put their differences aside or not, this is not the first time that Balotelli ended up having a go at one of his teammates in a training session.
The player has previously gone on and had problems with Jerome Boateng and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vincent-Kompany-c36184 in the team’s training sessions.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 is more than likely to look into the player’s behaviour, as he seems to constantly find one way or the other to do something that disrupts the team.
The striker may be performing brilliantly on the pitch, but it is his off the pitch actions that also affect the team.
Considering the fact that City are now looking to get back on track following their first loss of the Premier League season, they really can’t afford to have bust ups amongst each other.
It is now going to be a wait to see just what actions Mancini decides to take against Balotelli and Richards and whether the City squad can come together as they take on Arsenal, in one of the biggest games of the season.
