Coach Mancini fines four Man City stars for fighting during training
By ANIFriday, January 14, 2011
LONDON - Coach Roberto Mancini has fined four Manchester City stars for fighting at training.
Emmanuel Adebayor, Kolo Toure, Mario Balotelli and Jerome Boateng were all hit in the pocket for training-ground ruckus, reports the Sun.
Mancini has guided City to second spot in the Premier League - despite fireworks from four big-name players.
Mancini said: “We have fined the players because we mustn’t have this. The player pays and the money goes to charity.”
Photographs of the bust-ups caused embarrassment at the club.
Mancini said: “We have the fights so the photographers can take the pictures! These things happen with every team, the difference here is we don’t have a big wall to stop people taking pictures of it. When you train every day and play a match at 100 per cent, it can happen.” (ANI)
