Alexandre Pato has scored 15 goals for Milan since he joined them in 2007.
Ancelotti spoke to Il Corriera della Sera about his star striker,
“For me he is potentially the strongest striker in the world,” he said in an interview to ‘Il Corriere della Sera’. “He has an incredible shot and great speed, in fact he’s twice as fast as a normal athlete.”
He was asked if Pato could be compared with country man and Corinthians player Ronaldo, the coach said: “There are some similarities. But Pato still has to improve a lot. Too often when he receives the ball he takes too much time, he has to be more concrete.
“The perfect example of what he should do on the pitch is the move that led to Kaká’s goal against Udinese. I say that if he doesn’t become the best striker in the world in the next 10 years, the blame will be partly his and partly that of his coaches.”
