Mario Balotelli is enjoying playing with Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard.
The best English player in the striker's eyes remains Gerrard, whom he compared to his veteran Italy team-mate Andrea Pirlo.
"Gerrard is an amazing player. I had really not seen much of him before this season, apart from for England, but wow!" Balotelli told Sport magazine.
"I think of him as being at the same level as Pirlo. Vision, technique, but he is powerful as well. Stevie can do anything.
"It's going to be very difficult for the team to find another player like him in the future."
