Harry relieved Mario not his problem

Harry Redknapp thinks Mario Balotelli’s off-field antics are a “real problem” for Manchester City and is thankful he does not have a similar problem with reformed bad boy Emmanuel Adebayor.

Balotelli has gained cult status among football fans for his japery since joining Manchester City from Inter Milan two years ago.

Roberto Mancini has admitted the 21-year-old’s behaviour this season had driven him to the edge.
