Cagliari striker Nene has revealed his penchant for Milan's Alexandre Pato, claiming he is one of the best strikers in the world.

The 'Duck' has blossomed under Leonardo's new attacking scheme this term, scoring several vital goals.

However, he was recently snubbed by Brazil coach Carlos Dunga. Nene believes Dunga got it wrong in leaving out Pato.

"It will be an honour to play against Pato for me. He is one of the strongest in the world. He is really quick," Nene told Tuttomercatoweb.com.

Cagliari are enjoying a positive campaign thus far, currently sitting eighth in Serie A.
