“He was probably absolutely spot on,” Rodgers said in response to the 25-year-old’s comments on him being his “worst” coach.

“It was one where, he’s a big talent, he’ll come in and develop, he’s got all the tools.”

“In all fairness, I just find it very difficult to connect with Mario.”

“On the field, he tried his best. But yeah, it certainly wasn’t something that worked out as everyone would like.”rodgers-balotelli-2

“If you sit with him in the office, the guy’s a good fella, a good guy.”

“If he could ever match that intensity with his talent, then he’d be one of the best players in the world.”

“But now I hope he’s got a club, that might be a final chance over in France. But hopefully it can work out for him.”

Super Mario has been in splendid form since joining the French side in summer, having scored 6 goals in 6 games, helping Nice sit at the top of the table.
