| Mario must try harder, says Zanetti |

Inter captain Javier Zanetti has told teenage hitman Mario Balotelli to listen to Jose Mourinho's criticisms.
The Special One left promising striker Balotelli out of his squad to face Napoli last weekend as he felt Super Mario wasn't giving his best in training.
“Mario has technical and physical qualities beyond the norm,” Zanetti told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“He has world-class potential and it would be a shame to waste so much talent.
“Balotelli must understand that Mourinho's words are a sign of affection and not meant to discourage him.
“Jose has one objective and that is to improve him and take him to the highest possible level because that is also in the club's interest.
“But in football today you need to work hard and at the age of 18 you need a hard-working attitude. There are many example to follow at Inter.”
