Europa League : FC Porto Vs Manchester City (1 - 2) On 16th February 2012 by mukina2: 8:09am On Feb 16, 2012 |
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has urged Mario Balotelli to stay disciplined ahead of his return for Thursday night's Europa League last-32 clash at defending champions Porto. Balotelli, who has now completed a four-match domestic suspension for an apparent stamp on Tottenham's Scott Parker, is set to come back into the squad at the Estadio do Dragao. With the maverick striker having also served another one-match domestic suspension this season, as well as a three-game European one, Mancini is keen for him to settle down for the run-in. Mancini said: "I have spoken to Mario, two weeks ago. "I said, 'Please, we have 13 games to play and the Europa League too - try to have good behaviour on the pitch and think only of playing football. "I think if his head is okay in the next two months, he will be an important player. It's difficult to find a good definition for him. "We know that Mario is a fantastic player. He's young, sometimes he will do some mistakes but, for this reason, if he can keep his composure for the next months, he will be an important player for us, in the Europa League and the Premier League.'' Mancini can also welcome back inspirational midfielder Yaya Toure after an absence of eight games due to the African Nations Cup. Toure and his brother Kolo met up with the squad in Oporto tonight but Mancini will need to assess them before deciding if they can play. Porto will be without new signing Marc Janko due to illness and, while coach Vitor Pereira knows his side could not have wished for a tougher opponent, he believes they can progress. "We will have a different team line-up, because Janko is not available, which will change our dynamic but we are a strong team,'' he said. "I will not waste too much time thinking about the opponent because everyone knows their power. "City are a great team, but I am primarily focused with our game. "If we play at our best then we can ask more than enough questions to win the game. "We want to make a great game, put on a good show and use the fans support behind us.'' match |

This is not the Porto of last season- AVB(Chelsea), Falcao(Athletico Madrid) and Guarin(Inter) are already out. I think Man City will progress to the next round. |
