a year with no performances??it seems to me that he played 65 games past 14 months since he left milan...not so bad!!!
ofc he wont have the ratings of 2008 instantly but his talents have not abandoned him.form will come with consistency and he has shown good signs.
I'm talking about the fact that his performances were horrendous even after leaving Milan, yes horrendous, and wildly inconsistent (and mostly inconsistent going to bad)
...oh and he still went every day to the doctor for a year outside of Milan saying he had "pain" (like I said a pain that was looked over and over by Milan and doctors in USA just to find nothing):
Os dirigentes cansaram em virtude do excesso de reclamações. Com medo de lesões mais graves, como aconteceu no Milan, Pato recorria quase que diariamente ao departamento médico, alegando dores.
Btw, he was considered spoiled (nothing that wasn't mentioned around here) by the people who a year back said Milan and only Milan was at fault for Pato's (lack of) development,
Pato, dentro e fora de campo, nunca conseguiu suprir os desejos da direção, sobretudo para fortalecer a marca alvinegra no exterior. Pior, evidenciou uma postura que o clube não esperava. Integrantes da comissão técnica e da diretoria classificaram o atacante como “mimado” e “alienado” por seu comportamento.
And his ex coaching staff suggested he lacked intellect to understand tactics (how many times was this mentioned in here for years?):
Outros relatos mostram que Pato tinha dificuldades intelectuais para compreender as orientações táticas e não conseguia cumpri-las com exatidão.
But oh he was bullied by his teamates, poor Pato that justifies his poor form with Corinthians:
Pato era um dos alvos favoritos das brincadeiras dos companheiros, principalmente por gafes cometidas em momentos inapropriados.
And now he's making wrong career moves cause apparently yes every team in the world wants him. With those words comming from his ex coaching staff (and Im sure Milan's coaches in his period will mostly agree with it too), going to Turkey would be HUGE for him.
All taken from a globoesporte article from a couple of months ago.
Who knows maybe he finally changed his attitude issues now...we have been hoping for that pato this is it season since 2007, i dont see why we should stop hoping now
