Liverpool misfit Mario Balotelli claims he has left his childish ways behind and is ready to knuckle down at AC Milan as he bids to fulfil his dying father’s wish of playing for Italy again. AC Milan’s vice president Adriano Galliani said the club is in talks with Liverpool about bringing striker Mario Balotelli back to Serie A.

Mario Balotelli has resolved to “live like a man” after ending his Liverpool misery by returning to Milan on loan.
Irrespective of his disappointing spell at Anfield, much to Carragher disbelief, another European giant has taken a calculated gamble on Balotelli with the ink drying on a contract full of strict guidelines for the striker.
“I have played and lived as a boy”, he told Gazzetta Dello Sport.
“At the start I messed up a lot of easy chances, then I had fewer opportunities to score, a bit of bad luck, injuries”.
“But I never complained, I accepted the decisions of the manager and I always behaved like a professional”.
“I know that I cannot miss anything, I accept all the rules”. My attitude and lifestyle were absolutely normal at Liverpool.
“In the past year there weren’t ever any problems with my private life”.
He has now been given a chance to regain the form he found at Milan a couple of seasons ago when he scored 30 goals in 54 appearances over a season-and-a-half following his Manchester City exit. He showed himself by taking me back. And if I put some things together just maybe I’ll get to France.
“I am 25, I am no longer a child”. I still can’t believe that they signed him.

It failed spectacularly, with the Italy worldwide scoring just four goals in 28 appearances and only one of those coming in the Premier League.
