Daniel Sturridge jumps to the defence of Mario Balotelli
It has been a tough return to English football so far for Balotelli after the striker completed a £16m summer switch from AC Milan.
The Italy international has managed just two goals so far for Brendan Rodgers’ side, but fellow attacker Sturridge says the 24-year-old should be cut some slack.
“Mario’s a great guy, and he’s misunderstood sometimes. A lot of people are harsh on him. I get on really with him though. I have nothing but good words to say about him,” the Englishman told talkSPORT.
