Silvio makes Pato prediction
Monday 17 December, 2007

Milan President Silvio Berlusconi has added to the hype surrounding the arrival of Brazilian starlet Alexandre Pato. “He’ll score 30 goals.”

The Rossoneri signed the 18-year-old from Internacional this summer, but he will only officially join Milan on January 3.

With the European champions’ Serie A campaign struggling to get off the ground so far, the weight of expectation on Pato is immense.

“We are expecting a great champion who will bring some life to the squad,” Berlusconi told the Milan Channel.

“I spoke to Carlo Ancelotti about what Pato could bring to Milan and he told me that if he continues to do what he does in training he will get 30 goals by June.”

As Pato’s career takes off, compatriot Ronaldo seems to be in decline after persistent injury problems.

“We are all waiting for Ronaldo,” the Milan chief maintained.

“In the last six months he has barely played, despite his respectable wages. The tests haven’t managed to find a cure, but there is something troubling him and if this carries on I will have to take him to Lourdes!”

Paolo Maldini has announced his expected retirement at the end of the season and Berlusconi had high praise for a great servant.

“He has the career of an extraordinary man and an extraordinary champion,” he enthused.

“You couldn’t ask for more. He has made Milan history and he will forever remain in Rossoneri hearts. I hope that he will remain at the club in some capacity.”

Finally, Berlusconi was asked to comment on next weekend’s crucial Milan derby and the Diavolo’s chances of stopping a formidable Inter side.

“A prediction? After a great victory there’s naturally a relaxation, but the game against Inter is always different from the others,” he explained.

“I’m sure that the lads will go out there with belief and play to control the game and win.”

Only 30 goals!?? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

If the kid is half as good as they've hyped him up to be, he's going to be great but I'm not holding my breath.

Please don't put any more pressure on him!
