Alexandre Pato online chat – ACMILAN.COM
Alexandre Pato participated in an online chat on the official Brazlian AC Milan website. Here is the statement made on AC Milan’s website,
“To the Brazilian fans who took part in the chat, Alexandre told them that he’s fine with his Stefany, that he feels always more integrated in Italy and always happier. His luck numbers? Not only the seven which we find on his shirt, but also the 11. And then the kitchen: Patinho declared that he appreciates Lasagna, pizza with ham and in some cases also the fast-food products.”

AC Milan at Fratton Park to face Portsmouth
Who would have thought but it is a dream come true to all Portsmouth fans, AC Milan has finally arrived in their city. The likes of Kaka, Pato, Ronaldinho, Zambrotta, Seedorf and Shevchenko is like watching a blockbuster from Hollywood with Carlo Ancelotti as the director.
“This isn’t a normal game,” Portsmouth keeper David James said. “Until the draw it was only a dream. Before last season it was something that was possibly never going to happen. It will be talked about for years to come by the people who were here. Watching it on television will be a pale second to actually being at Fratton Park.”
“They are one of the best sides in Europe, so for about five minutes they’ll be thinking, ‘Wow, why are we playing here?” James said with a smile.
Ancelotti, however, looked utterly unperturbed. “It is a good ground – old school, that is very nice,” he said. “The pitch looks very good. It’s a football ground, it’s green – I see no difference.”
Milan’s first task when arriving in Portsmouth was to find accommodation for 60 players and backroom staff as well as 30 journalists. Some would say that this would have been their most difficult task but not Portsmouth manager Tony Adams. He believes that his team will cause problems with Kanu and Crouch having the advantage in the air.
Ancelotti is most likely going to put Ronaldinho on the bench and start with Pato and Shevchenko upfront.
Probable formation
AC Milan (probable, 4-3-1-2) Dida; Zambrotta, Senderos, Favalli, Antonini; Flamini, Emerson, Ambrosini; Kaka; Shevchenko, Pato.
Could Pato be going to Real Madrid for Ramos
Pato to Real Madrid could be a possibility in January. AC Milan are short of defenders with Nesta injured and Maldini definite to retire at the end of the year, Milan need a player who can take over the backline. Milan bosses have been a big fan of Ramos for awhile now but the problem is do they love him enough to exchange Pato.
Milan have Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, Boriello and Inzaghi upfront so they are not short of strikers. However, I don’t see Adriano Galliani giving up Pato anytime soon. The other possibility is to agree a loan for both players with the option to buy later on.
Real Madrid are in desperate need of a striker with Ruud Van Nistelrooy out for the rest of the season.
Rumours last month revealed that Ramos’ relationship with coach Bernd Schuster had turned sour so providing Bernd Schuster keeps his job he will be keen to exchange Ramos with a striker.
Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport reports this morning that a sensational swap deal seems to be in the pipelines but I still doubt that it will happen.
