Hey, guys!
I've had an idea (scary, I know).
How about instead of arguing about our interpretations of management's comments about Pato, we look forward to watching him play next week against Napoli?
Given Pippo's kidney stones (ow!) and what will probably be continuous questions about Ronaldo's match fitness, the kid may well start. Personally, I hope the Naples defenders don't beat him up too badly....

Well actually, pressure works less on you when you are a teenager. In any case, this shielding thing only works so far. Sooner or later, he's going to realise he's playing for a top club and the pressure will come. In any case, the pressure won't be worse than it is, this year.

QUOTE Pato’s raring to goAlexandre Pato is ready to make his Milan debut on Sunday and doesn’t seem to be feeling the weight of expectations. The 18-year-old was signed from Brazilian side Internacional in the summer, but he only became eligible to play in competitive matches from January 3. With the Rossoneri stalling in the League, the pressure on Pato is immense, as he has been touted as the Diavolo’s striking saviour. With Pippo Inzaghi in hospital to be treated for kidney stones, Pato could start on Sunday against Napoli, but he isn’t letting the pressure get to him. “I’m ready to get started and to play,†he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Of course there is some emotion, but at heart I am calm. “ I don’t feel any excess pressure. I am adapting well to Milan and I have my teammates to thank as they are very close to me and are giving me their support. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) “Will I start against Napoli? The boss will choose whether I play or not and who I start alongside up front. “I have a week of training ahead of me where I have to work hard if I am to play from the first minute,†the man nicknamed ‘The Duck’ concluded. Football Italia
