Watching Mario Balotelli in action during training is Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (R).
Balotelli’s career has been characterized by noteworthy accomplishments and high-profile transfers since it got off to a promising start at Inter Milan in the late 2000s. But his football career has also been marred by a number of events that have happened both on and off the field. The 33-year-old attacker, who is currently a player for Adana Demirspor in Turkey, used the occasion to voice his displeasure with his time at Liverpool, emphasizing his interactions with Rodgers in particular.
Due to his underwhelming performance in the 2014–15 season, Balotelli was loaned to AC Milan—the team from which Liverpool had initially acquired him for a sum of £16 million. The contentious episode where he switched shirts with Real Madrid defender Pepe during halftime of a Champions League match, which apparently infuriated Rodgers, further tarnished his time at Liverpool.
It’s safe to assume that he quickly lost favor because he didn’t exactly fit into Rogers’ system. Most likely, he was just not good enough. Nevertheless, he is holding Brendan Rodgers accountable for his lackluster stay in Merseyside. Saying, “Record Sport,”
“I have never had a worse coach than Brendan Rodgers.” When it came to maintaining ball possession and playing small-sided games during training, he was the best. However, he was a terrible person.
