Alexandre Pato hoping to play against Peru
Alexandre Pato did not feature in the World Cup qualifier against Ecuador and this may be the reason why the Selecao only managed a draw. Brazil will now face Peru tomorrow at the Biera Rio Stadium in Porto Alegre and pato is hoping to bring back some good memories.
Pato’s debut for International and the beginning of his professional career was at Biera Rio Stadium so he is hoping to re-live the moment with Brazil. Described as one of the greatest revelations of International in recent years, Pato hit the net 12 times in 27 games before being hired by Milan in 2007.
“I work hard for a chance to play at Beira-Rio. It is an important game for me. I see the stadium full of Inter fans. I go to the game hoping to play so that I can return the affection that the fans have given me for a long time,” said Pato.
Although Pato is the top scorer for his club, he has not been Dunga’s first choice so it will be unlikely that he will start but lets hope Pato comes in as a Substitution and scores within the first few minutes just like Batista did in the last game.
Inside Pato’s Home
The third episode of ‘On the road with Galvão” will feature Alexandre Pato. The show will be aired this Sunday on Brazilian TV so most of us will miss out but hopefully we can get a clip for this site.
In an interview with Galvão Bueno, The Duck talks about his romance with Stefany Brito and shows exclusive photos of the couple. He also opens the doors to his Milan apartment in an area where he shares with most of his Milan team mates. Pato reveals more then ten players that live in the area and I bet you they get together everynight for a game of FIFA.
Pato also talks about his childhood and publicly thanks the doctor that cured him from the dangerous tumor in his neck.
