The Nice striker was given his marching orders for talking back to officials against Lorient, and his agent joked about a drastic solution
Mino Raiola thinks he has found the ideal solution after Mario Balotelli's latest red card – cutting out the troublesome striker's tongue.
Balotelli received his third red card of the season during Nice's 1-0 victory at Lorient last Saturday for showing dissent to referee Tony Chapron.
Chapron later revealed he had dismissed the striker because he had insulted him in English, saying the phrase was "something classical".
The incident came at a bad time for Balotelli after he was recently criticised by some of his own team-mates for a perceived lack of effort, with Raiola joking he was ready to take drastic action to prevent another negative incident.
