The Italian forward slams manager Brendan Rodgers, over his treatment at Anfield
Mario Balotelli has hit out at Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, following his loan move back to AC Milan.
The 25-year-old forward joined Liverpool from Milan last summer, however failed to adapt upon his return to English football, and only scored the one goal during a troubled spell on Merseyside.
Subsequently, Balotelli completed a switch back to his native Italy, twelve months after departing, and decided to take a swipe at Rodgers.

“I must accept my faults, but the formation chosen by [manager Brendan] Rodgers was not suited to my characteristics,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“At the start I messed up a lot of easy chances, then I had fewer opportunities to score, a bit of bad luck, injuries. It was a mess.
“However I never protested, I accepted the choices of the manager and always behaved like a professional.”
“I could’ve put up a picture on Instagram in a restaurant, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t training, even though I wasn’t playing.
“I’ve trained a lot, often double sessions and also by myself or in the last few months with Fabio Borini and Jose Enrique.
