Massimiliano Allegri urges Mario Balotelli to concentrate on his own game ahead of the Milan derby tomorrow, which will "test his maturity".

AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has admitted that tomorrow's Milan derby will test the maturity of Mario Balotelli.

Balotelli scored twice on his Milan debut and has instantly become a key member of the side ahead of their match against Inter Milan.

The manager's advice to his young striker is to just focus on his game.

"Mario knows exactly what kind of atmosphere to expect," Allegri told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"He will be targeted by our opponents and it will be a test of his maturity.

"He just has to think about playing his game and control his instincts."

The Milan derby takes place at the San Siro at 7.45pm tomorrow.
