BERNE, Germany - Maverick striker Mario Balotelli needs love and will eventually learn from his mistakes, Italy coach Cesare Prandelli said yesterday.
"Balotelli will learn," Prandelli told reporters. "He will need a lot of love, he is a guy who we give a lot to and is important for Milan."
The AC Milan forward added to his long list of misdemeanours on Sunday when he was booked for making what the media described as a vulgar gesture with his hand to Cagliari fans after scoring in his side's 2-1 win.
He was booked for the incident and then got into an altercation with Cagliari defenders.
Prandelli said he was encouraged by comments from Milan's new coach Clarence Seedorf. "Seedorf has used the right words with Balotelli," said Prandelli.
