The Italian striker’s season-long loan move from Liverpool was confirmed today, and he has promised the Rossoneri faithful that he will make the most of his latest chance.
“I feel like a player who’s just finished the first half of his career,” he tells Gazzetta dello Sport. “I played and lived like a kid. It hasn’t always gone well, I’ve wasted a lot of opportunities.
“But the game’s not over, I still have a second half to play. Now I’ll play it like a man.”
Balotelli adds: “I know a lot of people don’t believe in my comeback, it’s up to me to prove them wrong.
“Milan have taken a gamble, but I’ve made a promise to myself, and all the people who support me ... I’m starting from zero and know I can’t mess this one up.
“I will follow every rule. I know I’ll only be given my chance if I deserve it, but I haven’t forgotten how to play football.”
