Midfielder has just released his new book and he’s taken aim at the controversial striker
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has criticised Mario Balotelli in his new book, claiming the Italian will never become a world-class striker.
The two played together last season at Anfield, but have since moved on, with Gerrard now in the MLS and Balotelli back at the San Siro on a season-long loan to AC Milan.
Liverpool spent ÂŁ16million signing the striker last summer, but after just one season in Merseyside, he has already returned temporarily to his homeland.
Writing in his new book, Gerrard admitted that he warned Brendan Rodgers about signing the striker and revealed that he had concerns when he arrived at Anfield.
