Brazil’s next super star
Rom Ronaldo and Ronaldinho to Kaka and Robinho, Brazil is never short of football stars. If you have ever wondered who could be the next big name, 18-year-old Alexandre Pato is a player to watch.
The teenage striker scored the only goal of the game on March 20 to help AC Milan beat Torino 1-0. The win ensured Milan can still maintain their push for a Champions League spot despite the absence of star playmaker Kaka.
Pato made his start in Serie A only in January and has scored seven goals for his club so far. He also helped Brazil’s national football team win the 2007 South American Youth Championship, which qualified the country for the football competition at the Beijing Olympic Games.
Pato is good at controlling football and moves intelligently. But most of all, he is quick. Looking at him play, it becomes evident why many people have connected him with a young Ronaldo. Yet Pato insists that the praise does not put him under pressure. Instead, he welcomes it. “I was happy to listen to people saying I was a great player. It makes me want to do my best.”
Pato started to play indoor football at the age of three. At only 11, he signed with the Brazilian football club Internacional where he started sharing a house with 83 other teenagers. Much like him, they wanted to make a name for themselves in the club’s senior team.
Luckily, Pato was the one who quickly made his way to the senior team and landed in AC Milan at the end of 2007.
Was it easy for him to settle down in a totally different culture? Pato insists that he has settled in with no problems thanks largely to his compatriots (同胞) in the Italian league. “These are the players I played with on Playstation and watched on television,” he admitted. “My dream of playing with my idol Ronaldo has finally come true.”
