Mario Balotelli has been assigned a former police officer to act as
personal assistant by AC Milan in a bid to keep him out of trouble off the field.
The Italy international continues to...
attract unsavoury headlines, most
recently for breaking a reporter's microphone in Naples and, on
Tuesday, for leaving the San Siro without wearing official club
uniform or colours.
Such incidents should be limited in future after the Rossoneri
assigned Filippo Ferri to keep a close eye on the player, according to
the Gazzetta dello Sport.
Ferri, who was prohibited from official police activity for his part
in heavy-handed treatment of protesters at the G8 summit in Genoa in
2001, already works as a security advisor for the Rossoneri and is
therefore well-known within the club.
His brief will be to ensure Balotelli's off-field behaviour no longer
eclipses the talent he shows on the field, although the president of
the Italian Football Association (FIGC), Giancarlo Abete, says Ferri
will not be needed when the forward is on international duty.
"Balotelli is one of us and, within the national team, everybody
assists each other,"he said."In any case, it's up to his club to
evaluate this."

Balotelli should get his act together cos he needs to stay fit to be a good player and his wild party orgies and excessive controversy won't do him any good
