The Echo has reported that Balotelli feigned a hamstring injury after he was told one of his teammates had hold of the iPhone 6, which the Italian had yet to get himself. After being checked over by the medical staff, by the end of the training session the forward had several iPhones.
They also say there was one time when he said he didn't know who Joe Allen was, a player who he had shared a dressing room with ever since his arrival on Merseyside.
The report also says that Balotelli never tried to adapt his game to fit in at the club and quite often showed petulance towards many members of the coaching staff.
