Sergio Aguero has jumped to the defence of Manchester City teammate Mario Balotelli.
Balotelli faces a potential four-match suspension after being charged with violent conduct following an incident in Sunday's game against Tottenham.
"But those of us who are really close to Mario know that off the field he's a really good lad.
"Like a lot of players he has his own idiosyncrasies here and there. Everyone knows him as a player from what you see on the field. But I know that off the field he's a lovely lad.
"He's a young lad, he takes care of himself and approaches his life as he wants." "Firstly we all know what a fantastic player he is. And off the pitch, everyone has their own path," Aguero told The Sun.
