Milan: Mario Balotelli said he plans an explosive return to the Italy national team and also hit out at former clubs Liverpool and AC Milan.

The 26-year-old was not selected for Italy's upcoming 2018 World Cup qualifiers at home to Spain and away in Macedonia. After a torrid end to a controversial three-year spell at Manchester City, Balotelli joined AC Milan in January 2013 before moving to Liverpool in 2014.
Balotelli never settled at Anfield and returned to Milan on loan last season. And when Balotelli returned to Liverpool in the summer, manager Jurgen Klopp advised him to move on.
Balotelli said: "Klopp doesn't know me, I spoke to him once, he told me to go somewhere else, work hard and then return. So I said goodbye, and that we wouldn't be seeing each other again."
Balotelli claimed both Milan and Liverpool, "weren't adapted to me". "It wasn't anyone's fault. They weren't ideal environments," he added. "I didn't make mistakes in terms of my game and behaviour, but I did get injured and that's not something I can control."
