Mancini says that whilst he doesn’t condone smoking, he has no worries over his player.
“For me it is not OK but I am not his father,” he said. “If he were my son, I would give him a kick up the arse but he is not my son. I have told him it is better that he doesn’t smoke because I am always against cigarettes and that’s why my son doesn’t smoke. There are players in Italy who smoke and some over here but I don’t think he smokes a lot – maybe five or six a day.”
