Balotelli thinks he is second only to Lionel Messi and his coach, Roberto Mancini replied: "Good, he must prove it in every match".

"It is good when a player has confidence in himself.- Mancini said -, but you can say these things only if you play well and score a goal in every match. If he really thinks what he said, he must show us everytime he plays."

Then Mancini added: "He must smile more, you need to smile when you play football. That's the best thing you can do"
