Balotelli sends Mourinho emphatic answer

Teenage Italian star Mario Balotelli sent an emphatic message to his Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho after being demoted to the club's junior team.

Mourinho has criticised Balotelli's attitude recently and dropped him from the first team squad, sending him to train and play with the junior team.

But Balotelli responded in style on Saturday by scoring a brace in a 4-1 victory over Treviso.

The 18-year-old has been told by former Chelsea boss Mourinho to try harder in training and matches and if Saturday's showing is anything to go by, the message may be getting through.
