What do you think about Alexandre Pato? He was one of my idols at high school. His Milan era was something with Ronaldinho. I think he would be one of the best players in history if there was no injuries sadly… Write about Pato

    Read up his story on the player’s tribune
    He mentions that he was too young, developing really fast and things were coming faster at him then he had expected. For him football came naturally and he wasn’t familiar with the need to take extra care of the body.
    Read the linked story narrated by him - you’ll get most of the answer there.

    As a Corinthians supporter I can say he is one of the players I hate the most.

    Came here in 2013 after we won the Libertadores and World Club Championship with a huge salary and was always lazy and not committed at all. Ended up his spell at Corinthians trying to panenka a decisive penalty kick against Dida, who at the time played for Grêmio and was a Corinthians idle before going to Europe and who was famous for saving penalty kicks. Players have said that he almost got beat up at the locker room after the match.

    Tite, who coached him at Corinthians, said he didn’t seem to understand the instructions given to him. Stupid af.

    God I hate this guy.

    I would’ve loved to see him succeed, i remember this guy scoring against me every time in FIFA but that’s unrelated. What he did at a young age is similar to what Haaland’s doing now

      Lol what?? I am amazed anyone agrees with this.

      He was certainly talented but never, ever, at any point of his career was he doing what Haaland is doing now or has done for the last 4 years.

      He’s at a goal every 60-70 minutes for 4 years.

      Pato was quick, skillful and could finish but this is a bizarre comparison.
