He's only 20 years old," Mancini said. "It's the first time he goes away from home. But he's happy -- maybe missing his family, but everything is fine."
Balotelli has been involved in several on-field spats, but Mancini is adamant that his compatriot's miserable on-pitch demeanour is just an act and that he is satisfied with life in England.
"After the first goal, he celebrated, which is a step forward," Mancini joked after the comprehensive home victory.
"He celebrated after the first goal but it's more important that he scored goals.
"Every player has his behaviour, but I think he's happy. Mario is a good guy, but I think that today he was happy because the supporters supported him throughout the game.
"He's a different guy outside the pitch but he likes to give this hard, 'don't like to play' image."
