Sao Paulo
Serie A
StatsligaTalentet var åbenlyst, da Alexandre Pato for nogle år siden tørnede ud for AC Milan, men talrige skader satte en stopper for udviklingen.
Men hjemme i Sao Paulo har Pato fået gang i bentøjet. Efter en stærk sæson kigger den 26-årige angriber igen mod Europa – og Premier League.
- En dag vil jeg gerne til England, for jeg synes, at Premier League er verdens bedste liga. Jeg er klar til en ny udfordring, siger Pato til the Telegraph og fortsætter:
- Jeg vil skrive historie i Europa, en ny historie. Jeg vil vinde mesterskabet og spille Champions League igen. Jeg har igen drømme.
- Jeg kan komme tilbage til Europa, og jeg tror, at jeg kan gøre det bedre, end da jeg var i AC Milan. Jeg kender min krop nu, jeg kender det arbejde, jeg skal gøre før og efter kampene. Jeg er meget bedre end før.
- Jeg har spillet 59 kampe og scoret 26 mål. Det er den bedste sæson i min karriere. Jeg føler, at min krop og min mentalitet er stærk. Selvtilliden er tilbage.
Pato fortæller videre, at Chelsea var interesseret, da han som teenager tog til Europa, men det blev altså AC Milan, der løb med ham.
