Pato Sure Kaka And Ancelotti Will Remain At Milan
The Rossoneri starlet is fairly certain that his fellow countryman and coach will both remain at the club.
Apr 8, 2009 8:39:40 PM
Milan are currently well-positioned in
the league in third place and are looking extremely likely to qualify for next
season’s UEFA Champions League, after missing out to Fiorentina this term.
With their season all but over, much of the news coming from the Rossoneri camp of late has centred on transfer news, mainly concerning Kaka and coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Both have been linked with moves away from the club at the conclusion of the season, with the likes of Real Madrid and Chelsea linked as possible destinations. Despite this, the club’s top scorer this season, Alexandre Pato, believes that both the trainer and the Brazilian playmaker will remain with the club next term.
“In January I was very scared with everything I read in the newspapers about the possible departure of Kaka,” Pato admitted in an interview with Milan Studio Sport.
“He made the right choice in deciding to stay here though, as this is, and will always be, his home. With him by my side I can learn so many things, and hopefully become a great player too.
“Ancelotti is another who always helps me, both in matches and in training. With this in mind, I will not be happy if he leaves either, and I don’t think he will, as he has a close bond with the club.”
The 19-year-old star went on to discuss his international future with Brazil, and the recent dramas surrounding his snub from Dunga’s starting line-up despite his outstanding form with Milan.
He said, “I am very happy to be called up to the Brazilian national team, so I do respect all those who stand before me in Dunga’s eyes.
“I will keep working hard, and do my best to ensure that in eighteen months time I am at the World Cup in South Africa.”
