I know it's working for them, but it continues to disappoint me that Pato doesn't get a look in for the national team.
In a way it means he's fit for Milan, which is good, but he should be featuring more. Even as a sub. |

QUOTE Uppity Pato hands AC Milan new problem After Ronaldinho, Alexandre Pato is now causing grief for AC Milan management. La Repubblica says Pato's behaviour during yesterday's 1-0 win over Bologna infuriated teammates and management. Pato created problems in defence with loose passing and also spoke back to senior teammates during the tense encounter. Not the actions expected from a 19 year-old, no matter how talented. Asked about Pato's behaviour, coach Leonardo said: "His instincts are good, but he must learn to communicate in a reasoned manner." Meanwhile, the Milan boss also revealed he'd spoken with Ronaldinho during the week. "He is fine and has told me he doesn't want to leave," added the Brazilian. Anybody saw anything along these lines? Coz I know La Repubblica usually stir things up for no reason. |

La Repubblica is a left-wing paper which likes to take swipes at Milan because of Berlusconi's politics. that said, I do think Pato did make a snarky comment (or appeared to do) when Pippo took the shot and missed while he, Pato, was wide open. That's the only thing I can recall offhand and one can hardly fault him for being annoyed at THAT.

Pato too has been indifferent towards his teammates sometimes and I have seen him getting the same reactions from them. it's pretty normal in football. players do tend to overreact in the heat of the moment. stupid journalists who think they have spotted something important while it's happening in every game make me laugh...

It happens all the time. That's why forwards score many goals anyway, because they're selfish.

I mean what did Pato expect? It's Pippo, he's one of the most selfish strikers in the history of the game. That's why he's so good. Pato is just a talented kid trying to compete with a legend.

Every forward is selfish and every forward expects to be given the ball when in a good position (or not).

@ LaPalma
With all due respect to Pippo and his fans, but where was he at 19-20? last season Pato ended up with more goals than Pippo, and overall they were arguably the more difficult/better ones (his goals against Zurich, Lazio, Roma, Bremen, etc come to mind). I'm not taking away anything from Pippo. I couldn't even if I tried, he's a legend in his own right. he hasn't been my favorite kind of striker but I've always admired his determination and love for football at this age. however, I don't think Pato is trying to compete with him or the other way around for that matter. even if he is, I'd say he's been the more successful one; but he's certainly not. they're as different to each other as different can get anyway...

Pippo was in Serie C when he was Patos age. The latter is a gifted player, though he still has to learn a lot. When he's on Pippos level in 15 years I'll give him the same credit. But right now he's only a talented kid.
@dst: No PERSON in the world is as selfish as Pippo. That's why he's such a great striker. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'm sure Pippo has got a golden heart. So what if he's a little selfish on the field? I'm sure if I met him in a bar, he'd buy me a pint.
