Lippi: Time for Mario Balotelli to deliver
Italy's World Cup-winning coach Marcello Lippi says the time has come for Mario Balotelli to prove how good he is following his move to AC Milan, BBC Sport reported.
The 22-year-old striker moved to his boyhood club from Manchester City last month for £19m and scored twice on his debut in Milan's 2-1 win over Udinese.
"He is a player with great potential, talent and quality," said Lippi.
"He needs to think more about football and less about things outside football, because he can really do very well."
