from what Galliani said at lega calcio it makes me think that the siena players were targeting pato (thought i didn't notice it too much during the game) im guess pato was just getting a little frustrated and at the end when we had won he just really relaxed and cheered up.
I definitely noticed..
Almost every time he got the ball, the Siena player Rossettini, got raped by him or got reprimanded for fouling him.. He was kicked or brought down throughout the game.. It's always frustrating cos it always happens to him.. Because of his pace, players know if they let him past them, they're in serious trouble, so they're "forced" to kick, foul, man-handle him.
Which is why I think its perfectly understandable, if not condonable that Pato has started getting a little rougher with defenders himself.. he's just standing up for himself, after a year of abuse. he's young and athletic which is why he can handle it, but pretty soon he could get hurt badly.
