Mario Balotelli has admitted that he cannot afford to make any more mistakes in his career after returning to AC Milan on loan from Liverpool.
The 25-year-old has completed a season-long loan switch back to the Rossoneri, just a year after the Reds brought him to Anfield for £16m.
Balotelli is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "I feel like someone who has put the first part of his career to one side. Played and lived like a boy.
"I haven't forgotten how to play football, but I am no longer a kid. I've wasted too many chances."
Balotelli scored four goals in 28 appearances for Liverpool last season.
