Rodgers says Balotelli is not world-class like Luis Suarez though
The boss has sent out a message of incentive to the striker by claiming that he could one day be as good as Suarez.
The Uruguay international was sold to FC Barcelona this summer and whilst Balotelli is a replacement, he is not as good yet says Rodgers.
“There is no comparison between the two as players. I think Mario is potentially world class. You can’t compare Suarez and him, but Mario is coming in as an international striker and he’s a talent, no doubt,” the 41-year-old was quoted by ITV.
