Alexandre Pato, traveling to Singapore as a Milan Legend, was interviewed by Sky Sports. Here are the statements from the historic Rossoneri striker, enthusiastic about the new cycle led by Massimiliano Allegri:
"I can tell you it's a wonderful feeling to wear the Milan shirt again, to see how the kit has changed, and to have my suitcase next to me. It makes me feel like when I used to play—I'm happy. I always thank Milan and the fans, who still support me and say nice things about me."
"Allegri hasn't changed as a person. He’s exactly the same. For this moment in Milan's history, he is the man the club needs. He brings, as I say of Ancelotti with Brazil, respect for the players. He’s someone who has won, who knows Milan very well. I’m sure he’ll be able to bring the players to 100%. I’m happy he's here."
Pato added:
"Ancelotti? For us Brazilians, it was strange, because we had never had a foreign coach for our national team. The idea of bringing him in was a good one, because he has won, and he brings a respectful relationship between player and authority. I’m happy."
He continued to talk about Carlo Ancelotti:
"He knows what it means to live under pressure. We’re rooting for his World Cup. The possibility of experiencing a Milan Scudetto and a Brazil World Cup in the same year? That would be perfect."
