ITALY coach Cesare Prandelli has told Mario Balotelli to keep his shirt on in Brazil.
The AC Milan star scored the winner for the Azzuri in their 2-1 Confederations Cup groups stage win over Mexico on Sunday.
But the 22-year-old was booked for taking his shirt off after scoring the winner in the Maracana.
Prandelli said: �Everybody has seen his muscles by now so he doesn�t need to show them off by taking off his shirt next time.
�We have talked about this with Mario, because those yellow cards do add up. But I noticed how concentrated and motivated he was throughout the whole game.�
Balotelli played a blinder for Italy with direct pace and movement that troubled Mexico�s backline until he scored the winner.
Prandelli added: �He only got slightly tense when we should have had a penalty against us but he scored a goal through strength and temperament.�
