Mario Balotelli has struggled since moving to Liverpool for £16million last summer . Roberto Mancini and Balotelli had a bust-up at Manchester City training in 2013 . Mancini has urged Balotelli to realise he is wasting his talent . 'I have not heard from Mario since we worked together at Manchester City,' he told Corriere della Sera. 'He was still a kid when we were together at Inter. He would do anything I asked him and he also behaved well at City. 'It has all gone downward a bit since he left City. I thought he would do well at Milan, but it didn't happen. 'Mario is at risk of following the same path as Adriano. I hope that he wakes up one morning and realises that he is wasting everything.'
