AC MILAN are inferior to no-one, says Pato.
The Rossoneri fought for the Scudetto last season almost until the end, but instead, they saw their bitter rivals Inter lifting three trophies. However, “The Duck” believes that this season AC Milan can beat anyone to win the Scudetto.
“Last season Milan were inferior to Inter and we lost both derby games, but it’s a different story now and we don’t feel inferior to anyone,” he told il Corriere dello Sport. “Not even Inter. We have the same chances of winning the Scudetto.”

Pato is one of the best U-21 players in the world, maybe The Best and there were reports that he will be sold this summer, along with Thiago Silva and Ronaldinho. Pato says it’s not part of his plans.
“I am very happy to stay at Milan and especially happy that Ronaldinho is also here. In my view, he never seriously thought about leaving…”
The 20-year-old forward was impressive in the Emirates Cup, but he didn’t play against Panathinaikos this weekend (Milan eventually won after shoot-out). There were concerns that his injury-problems have returned.
“I’m better now, as the worries have passed. Despite the small sprain, I never stopped training and working to fully recovery. When I felt pain, I was afraid that I’d damaged the ankle again, but it was nothing serious.”
“Will I ever wear the captain armband? Maybe, who knows… But it’s early to talk about it now. “
Massimiliano Allegri seems to be doing a good job with the team so far, and despite this is a pre-season, you can see he has clear ideas.
“Allegri? He’s a great coach,” Pato said. “He is a great coach and is building a Milan can beat anyone.
Asked about whom would win the Ballon d’Or this year, Alexandre didn’t even mention Barcelona forward Lionel Messi or Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, but he gave Inter’s Wesley Sneijder the honour. He told:
“I’d give it to one from Wesley Sneijder, Andres Iniesta and Xavi. Choosing one of the three is too difficult.”

As i thought, biggest signing of this year would be our coach Massimiliano Allegri ;D
@N.S.R:
and Soratis too. he gave Milan back line a fresh energy, even he’s still adapt a lot.
just wonder whether pato would play well if dinho leaves milan. only allegri knows whether dinho is part of his plan this season. pato should play his best no matter dinho stays or not.
yes I believe this has been a decent transfer campaign we signed a decent goalkeeper a Gus defender to takeover for nesta and can play rite back we will probably trade janku for bochetti we are going to sign another midfielder and merkel Verdi strasser have all impressed so four signings and gud youngsters is that not a gud campaign with limited funds
TWF very true : Allegri isn’t really impressed with dihno fitness condition rite now it seems he only worked really hard last season to get in shape to see if he got an world cup spot think it’s best Milan let him go and buy ganso before man city swap him with robinho.
Agree with Milan86…i think Milan should sign a midfielder & a fullback…then the squad is ready…& sell the stupid Khaladze & Jankulovsk
