Manchester City enfant terrible Mario Balotelli hit the headlines once again this week when he blasted his former Inter coach Jose Mourinho for lacking respect.
"Mourinho is the best coach in the world, but as a man he still needs to learn manners and respect," the 20-year-old roared.
These comments may seem fair to many given The Special One’s self-confidence and brashness, but the fact they came from Balotelli – whose hot-headed temperament, poor disciplinary record and outspokenness have dominated his career thus far – certainly produced a few giggles.
Goal.com takes a hypothetical look of 20 other similar acts of hypocrisy that could be committed in the footballing world…
Please note the below is satirical and just a bit of fun…
20) Amauri tells Wayne Rooney he doesn’t score enough goals.
19) Joachim Low laughs at Juergen Klopp for always wearing the same clothes on the bench.
18) Aliaksandr Hleb advises Cesc Fabregas that he must leave Arsenal for Barcelona in order to not ruin his career.

11) Silvio Berlusconi hits out at Antonio Cassano for his relationship with a teenage girl.

9) Rafa Benitez says that if he had the same amount of money to spend at Inter that he had at Liverpool he would have been a success.
8) James Milner laughs at Darren Bent’s pricetag, labelling it a “rip-off”.
