Alexandre Pato Thread

[Redman10]

What maldini said is nothing new. Ancelotti mention it, Dunga mention it, Allegri that his attitude on the pitch is poor we know that already but I want to see reports that he is faking injuries, he doing drugs, he is a locker-room cancer based on some of the stuff I read in this thread.

 

[Ultra Swan]

All we need now is for Ronaldo to say it.

 

[Mr. Milanista]

at all those bashing Pato for coming off and saying he didn't care about the team.
If I was Pato I would do the same, imagine his mind and his confidence and the the last week. All that going through his mind, he didn't wan't to be risked getting injuried again. And when he went off, my personal opinion is that then he helped the team, and not by continuing playing. If he became injuried again, Milan would loose a player for weeks, instead of a meaningless game for 10 minutes.

 

[Madridista]

So now he had a pathetic performance? Just because he missed a couple of chances? He looked fast, got in the right positions and made the right decisions. Some people here are completely insane.

It was smart to leave the pitch after feeling injury. You want him to chase around for a couple more minutes (not that it would help the team too much) and tear a muscle instead of pull, missing three months instead of two weeks?

In the last two games, I saw a different Pato from usual. His mind looks sharp and his body seems to be getting in rhythm. All he needs is to be used in the right way and he will again become a Golden ball candidate.

Did you watch this game instead of El Clasico?

 

[GtrFlo]

Certainly tried hard and scored a beautiful goal. IF he keeps working hard, he'll get regular playing time.

I want to see Pato and Ibra up front with Robinho as trequartista. His movement, dribbling and passing will benefit Pato and take some of the load of carrying the attack off Ibra's shoulders.
This MIGHT be a good way to face the current lack of creativity among the three midfielders, who in that scenario could focus more on defense and would have to participate less in attack.

Allegri said he took him off himself as a precaution.

suck it haters

 

[jammin]

Allegri said he took him off himself as a precaution.

well this is sure gonna be awkward for the pato haters.

but then again, this could all be a media stunt to do some complicated ass shit that none of us can understand.

 

[This Is Milan]

Where did he say that? Because it's definitly not what he said last night

 

[Lucia]

Allegri said he took him off himself as a precaution.

Media reported yesterday that Allegri said Pato felt a muscle strain and preferred to exit, did he come out and say something else today?

Hope we know more about his condition soon, on the official Milan webpage it says it was back pain, some places report it was a butt muscle, and Pato went out holding somewhere in between, so hopefully it's not a reoccurring hamstring injury, and he'll be back really soon.

Ancelotti to Sky:

"Allegri makes his choices, and if he (Pato) doesn't play it's because he doesn't see him do well in training, not because he dislikes him."

[Eccolo]

If you followed the debate in this thread people clamied that Pato walked of the pitch without the premission from Allegri

I wonder why Ancelotti wants him in PSG.

Haters? I seriously doubt there are any haters.

Maldini said everything that needs to be said on both Pato and Ibra.

there are a lot of haters, you included.


what maldini said about both is right, but he didn't say something stupid like "FU SELL TO PSG NAOOWW"

Did Maldini say that Pato sucks as a player and should be sold immediately?
I must have missed that part.

I'm not a hater. I'm a lover.

He said Pato needs to improve and change his attitude.

I don't think anyone here has said "sell Pato now".
But this summer unless he improves a lot.

 

[Sage]

don't try to hide it freddy, we all know you don't like the special duck


don't worry though, Ibra is still number 1 in Italy, pato is no threat for the moment

 

[Lucia]

I wonder why Ancelotti wants him in PSG.

He's a great player, Ancelotti likes to work with players he knows and he's said several times that Pato could be so much better if he put in more effort and he's probably hoping a move and his coaching would give him that motivation.

Besides Pato has marketability (Nike/Brazil/(Barbara Berlusconi)) which is good for PSG who's also sponsored by Nike.

Ah. I see.
Maybe it wont be such a bad idea for us to keep him here, considering the above mentioned facts.

You need to look in the mirror then, Ibra fanboy. His attitude has been fine in the last two games.

 

[KujaIX]

When has seedorf been caught doing drugs, out drinking too much, not training hard, criticized a coach for his errors on the pitch INSTEAD of accepting responsibility and generally not been ANYTHING but a consumate professional?

That's what i thought. His level may decline, but he's an amazing human being an a guy i'm proud to have at milan. Clarence represents most of what is right about Milan, professionalism, camaraderie, creativity WITH hard work, big game mentality.

Other than that, great comeback. "ooo senatore likes seedorf, so i'll insult that!' Great. So relevant.

You and Fred have the same source.

Or, perhaps, Fredrik is your source.

How fucking laughable would that be?

You know that "Ibra fanboy" is a compliment, right?
You use it as an insult, and it makes you sound quite funny.

I'll look in the mirror once I found my sunglasses. I misplaced them.

And... I agree, he's shown a much better attitude in the last couple of games.

P.S. PLEASE change your avatar.

Completely different sources, sorry to disappoint you kiddo.

 

[Senatore_M84]

completely different.

and let me be clear, i don't give a fuck what anyone does off the pitch. I care the minute it carries over to training and then games, where lackidasical effort is VERY obvious.

You can't just show up when you want to, v. inter, v. chievo cause your pissed.

I may not like Zlatan that much, but he shows up every game with full effort commitment. Sometimes he's on form, sometimes he misfires. And his training is well documented.

People need to come to grips that Seedorf was right in 2008.

Milan put too much hype on Pato, Galliani ran the hype-machine ******ed and Pato's head got too big, he didn't work as hard as he should from moment Kaka left. He acts like he's their when he's clearly NOT.


And to top it off, when management admits they made a mistake and sell him to PSG just to be done with it, Berlusconi steps in and basically confirms 'pato is special, he doesn't need to be held to same standards as others'

I want to make it clear, Pato deserves his criticism, but milan management also fucked up the situation. Forcing him into lineup is NO WAY to make a guy work hard. Allegri and Ancelotti were right, in benching him when he doesn't work

 

[Armin__m]

“Pato? He felt a twinge in his thigh and I wanted to avoid any potential problems by bringing him off.”

wait...you criticize pato for "showing up when he wants to" and having "shit effort in games" while your fav. player is seedorf?

Again, the problem with your statement is 'last two games'

Just saying, great players... whatever they do off the pitch, come with that killer attitude every game.

Heck Robinho is a clown, always joking, doing what he wants... minute he's on pitch he has 1 interest, embarassing opposition and winning
