Ledesma Is A Thug – Pato

Milan wonderkid Alexandre Pato has launched a stunning attack on Lazio midfielder Cristian Ledesma, saying that he “massacred” him during a game earlier in the season.

Pato has had a superb start to life in Serie A, scoring nine goals in just 18 Serie A appearances since debuting in January.

In an interview with GQ Magazine, Pato has talked about his first season in Italy, and he has launched a scathing attack on Lazio’s Cristian Ledesma, who issued out some rough treatment to him during a game in March.

“I remember Cristian Ledesma repeatedly hitting me - massacring me,” stated the Brazilian.

"I was not bothered. Actually, I like playing this way. It has made me grow up.

“In Brazil, you get the ball and are allowed 20 seconds to look up and think about what you are going to do.

“Here, instead, you have three seconds to do something before someone like Ledesma arrives.” [ (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ]

Pato also expressed his wish that crocked team-mate Ronaldo recovers from injury so that he can play alongside him up-front.

“I would like it a lot if we could play together,” he said.

“We are really good friends.

“Ronnie is going through a rough patch at the moment. The media are always hounding him.

“Nevertheless, he has such a great character that I expect he will get over his injury and image problems.

“We talk all the time, but never about football. He always asks me how I am doing. It's crazy, Ronaldo is my idol.”




I remember all those nasty fouls he suffered in Lazio games, one of which led to a red card.

Anyway, Forza Pato (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Pato gets Olympic call

Alexandre Pato has been included in Carlos Dunga’s Brazil squad for this summer’s Olympic Games.

The Milan starlet made a superb start to life in Serie A with nine goals in 18 games for the Diavolo after arriving from Internacional in January.

Pato made his full Brazil debut against Sweden on March 26 and found the net and the 18-year-old’s form made his place in Beijing a formality.

While Milan were determined to prevent Kaka from travelling to the Olympics as they want him fresh for the start of next season, the San Siro side didn’t stand in Pato’s way.

Brazil’s Olympic squad contains just one play over the age of 23 – Real Madrid star Robinho.

Dunga’s youngsters will play a Rio De Janeiro representative side on June 22.

Brazil Olympic squad:

Goalkeepers: Diego Alves (Almeria), Renan (Internacional)

Defenders: Rafinha (Schalke), Nei (Atletico Paranaense), Leonardo (Olympiacos), Filipe (Deportivo La Coruna), Alex Silva (Sao Paulo), Breno (Bayern Munich), Thiago Silva (Fluminese), Leo (Gremio)

Midfielders: Lucas Leiva (Liverpool), Hernanes (Sao Paulo), Ramires (Cruzeiro), Charles (Cruzeiro), Anderson (Manchester United), Diego (Werder Bremen), Thiago Neves (Fluminese)

Strikers: Robinho (Real Madrid), Pato (Milan), Sobis (Betis), Oldoni (Atletico Paranaense)

True, but I'm confident that he can handle it (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

OK, I know it's no big deal, but just for the record, Pato scored a goal for Brazil's Olympic team against Rio Selection [a week ago or something, and I think Robinho was playing too. we need Porty's confirmation though]

watch the goal
