Wales manager Chris Coleman tells Manchester City defender Aleksandar Kolarov to focus on his own game following the Serbian's controversial comments.

Wales manager Chris Coleman has told Manchester City defender Aleksandar Kolarov to mind his own business ahead of his side's 2014 World Cup qualifier against Serbia.

The Premier League winner sparked controversy after accusing the Welsh side, Scotland and Ireland of playing a long-ball style of football.

"Kolarov should concentrate hard on his own style of play rather than worrying about us, Scotland or Ireland," The Express quotes Coleman as saying.

"It's up to us to make sure we keep him busy. He'll have to concentrate if Gareth Bale plays on his side of the field. I won't comment on other teams' style of play, I'll just concentrate on our own."

The two sides come together this evening for the Group A encounter.
