<!-- Article Start --> <h3 style="text-align: justify">Liverpool FC flop Mario Balotelli has said that the tactics of manager Brendan Rodgers should be equally blamed for his failure along with his own form.</h3> <h3 style="text-align: justify"></h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Mario Balotelli completed a loan move to AC Milan after having enduring a torrid time at Anfield. The Italian, who had bagged 30 plus goals for Milan in 2013-14 season before singing for the Reds in summer of 2014, scored just once in the Premier League as he looked like a fish out of water in Rodgers' formation and style of play at Anfield.</p> <h3 style="text-align: justify">Balotelli blames Rodgers' tactics for poor showing</h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Following his loan move to AC Milan, Balotelli was quoted saying by <a href="http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Milan/26-08-2015/balotelli-milan-obbedisco-torno-nazionale-devo-mio-padre-1201100759154.shtml" target="_blank">Gazzetta dello Sport</a> in a lengthy interview published on Thursday:</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"I accept my side of the blame, but Rodgers' tactics were not suited to my characteristics either," Balotelli said. "At the start, I missed a few easy chances, and then I had fewer chances to score, a bit of bad luck and injuries. It was a mess.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"But I never protested. I accepted the coach's decisions and always behaved professionally. My attitude and lifestyle were absolutely normal at Liverpool. There have not been any problems with my private life this last year."</p> <h3 style="text-align: justify">Balotelli insists he is a changed man</h3> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"> <p dir="ltr" lang="it">.<a href="https://twitter.com/FinallyMario">@FinallyMario</a> is back! / Mario A? tornato! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/weareacmilan?src=hash">#weareacmilan</a> <a href="http://t.co/6YTW6ol0d9">pic.twitter.com/6YTW6ol0d9</a></p> a AC Milan (@acmilan) <a href="https://twitter.com/acmilan/status/636827055758426112">August 27, 2015</a></blockquote> <p style="text-align: justify">Hoping to have a fresh start at Milan, Balotelli said: "I have made a promise to myself, to Milan, to [coach Sinisa] Mihajlovic, to [agent Mino] Raiola and to everybody who cares about me," the former Inter and Manchester City forward said. "I'm starting out from scratch.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"I know that I can't get anything wrong anymore. I cannot assume anything and I have to win everything back. I accept any rule and I know I will get a game if I deserve it.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"But it's not as if I've forgotten how to play football. I'm back, full of energy, willingness to work and enthusiasm. My game is not over yet. I feel like somebody who has just played the first half of his career, as a boy. Not everything went well and I wasted plenty of opportunities, but the game is not over yet.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"There is still a second half to be played and I'm going to play it as a man. I know that not many believe I can come back again, but it is my duty to try, and I am certain I will succeed.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"I'm 25 now -- I'm not a kid anymore. I've already thrown away too many chances. And then there is life -- that is something you cannot plan. It's when something unexpected happens that it changes you.</p> . <p style="text-align: justify">"Those are the situations that mature you -- the joy of realising you are a father, and the pain of losing a father."</p> <!-- Article End -->
