Only one person can help Balotelli – Davids

Former Holland midfielder, Edgar Davids, has stated that the only person that can save Mario Balotelli’s career is the player himself.

The 25-year-old striker has returned to AC Milan on a one-year deal, after failing to shine at Liverpool following a 16million move last summer.

Most observers have said Balotelli’s move back to the San Siro, is his last chance to get his career back on track and Davids says it is in the Italian’s hands.

“The only person who can help Balotelli is Balotelli,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“When you change team and you have the right mindset and a coach who respects you, everything becomes easier.

“In the end, though, everything will depend only on him. I have seen players with half his talent become key for great teams: the mentality is what counts.”
