He was number one as far as training sessions were concerned, what with keeping possession of the ball and the small-sided games. But as a person he was a disaster.&#8217;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rodgers and Balotelli spent one turbulent season together at Liverpool in 2014-15 and enjoyed an antagonistic relationship.\u00a0<\/span>The former Man City hotshot could not fit into Rodgers&#8217; style of football as Liverpool struggled following the sale of Luis Suarez.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Balotelli was loaned out to AC Milan and was given short shrift by Klopp when he replaced Rodgers as manager. The striker was forced to train on his own during pre-season before he joined Nice on a free transfer on deadline day.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12811517\/Mario-Balotelli-reignites-feud-Brendan-Rodgers-labelling-disaster-person-worst-coach-hes-TV-interview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mario Balotelli reignites his feud with Brendan Rodgers by labelling him a &#8216;disaster of a person&#8217;
