BALOTELLI
Steven Gerrard's "jealousy" made sure Mario
Balotelli would fail at Liverpool, according to El-Hadji Diouf.
Balotelli ended a torrid two-year spell at Anfield by
moving to Nice on a free transfer on deadline day.
He scored two goals on his debut as his new club beat
Marseille 3-2 on Sunday and admitted after the match that joining Liverpool was the
“worst decision” of his life.
And Diouf, who netted just three league goals in three years
at Liverpool, has since revealed he warned Balotelli about moving to the Reds
in 2014, insisting then-captain Gerrard would not welcome his superior talents
in the dressing room.
"I told him not to go to Liverpool. It wasn't made for
him, that things couldn't go well with Gerrard, who has never had his talent
and then said negative things about him," he told L'Equipe.
"Gerrard is a jealous man who doesn't like men of
character. Mario is a good person that you should listen to. He's not a guy
who's going to cause problems in the dressing room.
"There are a lot of things that have been made up about
him. People tell tales about him, but they're often a load of rubbish."
