AC Milan fans believe that Chang Sheng doesn't know Pato well enough, so Pato will become the game-breaker in this game that rewrites the record between the two sides in recent years.
People who think like this are really cute.
As a time traveler, how could Chang Sheng not understand Pato?
He knows Pato's playing habits, and he also knows Pato's future development trajectory.
Pato, who just landed in Serie A, is indeed an outstanding talent.
In fact, the most indispensable thing in this industry is genius.
Many players are geniuses at a young age.
No one can deny that they have talent, but there is still a long way to go from talent to strength.
Pato belongs to that kind of player who has both talent and strength.
In the first half of the season when he joined AC Milan, he played 18 times and scored nine goals.
In the following full season, Pato played thirty-six times and scored fifteen goals.
In his first full calendar year playing for AC Milan, from January 2008 to December 2008, he played a total of thirty-three times in Serie A and scored seventeen goals.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" highly praised Pato's performance: "Pato in 2008 was the strongest 19-year-old forward in Serie A in a hundred years. No one is better than him at this age."
Such praise is well deserved.
It can be seen how famous Pato was at that time.
Because of Pato, AC Milan no longer even resists selling Kaka.
Pato was later awarded the European Golden Boy Award in 2009. Those who can win this award are young players with outstanding talent and outstanding performance in this age group. All players who can win the Golden Boy Award will have the final career
The performance was excellent.
He also won the 2009 Serie A Best Newcomer Award.
So many awards and outstanding performance make people full of hope for Pato's future.
Countless legendary players have been compared with Pato. Who does he resemble the most?
Relying on his outstanding performance in the club, Pato was quickly selected into the Brazilian adult national team and soon became the main forward and the main forward in the Brazilian national team.
His future is bright...
But later, Pato fell into a cycle of constant injuries.
In fact, Pato began to get injured from the 2009-2010 season. In that season, he played 21 league games on behalf of AC Milan. In the 2010-2011 season, Pato continued to be troubled by injuries and only played 20 league games for the club.
Four times. But at that time, Pato's scoring rate was still quite high.
In the 2009-2010 season, Pato played 21 times, but scored 12 goals. The next season, Pato played 24 times and scored 14 goals.
The high goal rate masks his problems and keeps people's expectations for Pato still very high.
But in fact Pato's body is made of glass.
Since 2010, he has experienced muscle injuries sixteen times. Every time Pato was injured and unable to play, the media always said that he had muscle injuries.
For this reason, he missed 83 AC Milan official games.
In the end, AC Milan had to give up on him because of too many injuries. And he himself chose to return to China in order to get continuous playing opportunities so that he could participate in the 2014 World Cup held in his home country.
The famous football manager game FM once set the physical data of Pato in the latest game as "1". The bigger the data is, the better the player's physical fitness is and the less likely he is to be injured, while the smaller the data is, the more likely he is to be injured.
Obviously, even in the game, everyone is finished going straight to Pato...
Chang Sheng knows very well what Pato's weakness is and that is his poor body.
He has excellent speed, so you can't give him room to sprint. To do this, you need someone to follow him every step of the way. Contain him. If he wants to accelerate, then shovel without mercy!
There is such a most suitable candidate in Lazio's formation.
Ledesma.
Ledesma's main task in this game is to contain Pato.
Before the game started, Chang Sheng pulled Ledesma and said: "Say hello to that 18-year-old Brazilian pretty boy, Christian. Tell him the true face of Serie A!"

When AC Milan took the initiative, they began to launch a fierce offensive towards Lazio's goal.
Pato was indeed used by Ancelotti as an important figure to break the deadlock.
Obviously, Ancelotti also believes that Chang Sheng lacks experience in how to deal with Pato, which is something AC Milan can take advantage of.
But he never expected that Chang Sheng knew Pato very well, knowing the past before and the future later.
When Pato got the ball for the first time, he planned to continue to control the ball and adjust, but he lost the ball before he even had time to make the first adjustment!
"Ledesma! He almost knocked the football off Pato's toes!" the commentator shouted. "This action is too dangerous!"
Ledesma scooped up the football and brought down Pato.
The referee's whistle sounded. He thought it was a foul on Ledesma. Of course, it was not. It was just because Mr. Dong looked scary. In order to protect the players, the referee stopped the game and called Ledesma.
Small fouled. But apart from a verbal warning, no cards will be played.
Pato, who was lying on the ground, looked around blankly, not knowing what happened... He didn't expect Ledesma to rush to him so quickly.
Based on his experience playing in Brazil, generally speaking, when playing in Brazil, the player with the ball has twenty seconds on the court to get the ball and think about the next move. But obviously, this is not acceptable in the Italian stadium.
Doesn’t make sense…
Ledesma got up from the ground and glared fiercely at the confused Pato.
Pato saw Ledesma's appearance and subconsciously looked away. This was a typical sign of weakness.
But his teammates immediately came to help.
Kaká, a compatriot who has more experience than him and has been in Serie A for many years, rushed up and pushed Ledesma away.
Ledesma didn't care about Kaka and retreated.
Kaka turned around and asked Pato: "Are you okay?"
Pato shook his head: "No...I'm fine..."
Kaka pulled him up and said to him: "Don't be afraid, this is Serie A. If he tackles you too much, he will end up sooner or later. Don't be afraid of him. When he glared at you just now, you shouldn't lower your head.
, you have to look him in the eye and stare at him bravely! Otherwise, he will think you are easy to bully."
While listening to Kaka's words, Pato looked up at Ledesma.
Then he noticed Ledesma smiling at him.
This smile does not mean friendly...
"Also, this is Serie A. Don't stay or observe too much after you get the ball. You have to pass the football out immediately! You see, it was the result of you holding the ball for a long time..."
Pato was surprised: "I didn't take it for long..."
"In Brazil, this time is twenty seconds. But remember, Alexander, in Italy, this time is...three seconds." Kaka stretched out three fingers.
Pato opened his mouth wide.
He performed well in the previous few games. He thought he had adapted perfectly to Serie A. Serie A was nothing more than that...
But who would have thought that this game would refresh his understanding of Serie A as soon as it started.
After getting the ball, you only have three seconds to hold the ball on the spot... What a stringent requirement this is!
But those people... they all played under this standard. Kaká, the senior around him, achieved unprecedented success in AC Milan, and he also came along this way...
Pato looked at Kaka, and Kaka was looking at him.
Seeing him looking at her, Kaka patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, Alexander! You can do it!"
Pato nodded vigorously.
※※※
Inler noticed the scene where Kaka was talking to Pato, and then he saw Pato's performance, so he said to his teammate Ledesma next to him: "It looks like you didn't scare him, Christian."
"There's still a whole game left," Ledesma said.
※※※
The game restarted. Pato did not back down because Ledesma fouled him.
On the contrary, he is still very active in asking for the ball and dribbling the ball.
Of course, Ledesma never left him.
The two people constantly battled wits and courage.
Sometimes it was Pato who used his speed and agility to get rid of Ledesma. Sometimes it was Ledesma who used his fierce defense and body to get rid of Pato.
The two people were constantly fighting on the court, and they were both embarrassed by each other. They were panting, and their jerseys changed color after falling. However, no one planned to give in.
As the most difficult opponent he encountered in the game after landing in Serie A, Ledesma left a very deep impression on Pato.
So much so that when he was interviewed later, when he talked about his feelings when he first landed in Serie A, he could not forget Ledesma.
"The toughest opponent? Of course Lazio's Ledesma. Oh my God! What a scissor kick! ... In Brazil, you have twenty seconds to get the ball and think about it.
One move. But in Italy, if you don’t make the next move three seconds after getting the ball, Ledesma will rush to grab the ball!”
As Pato recalled at the time, Ledesma truly acted like a maggot in this game. As long as Pato didn't make another move for three seconds after taking the ball, a fierce collision was bound to be waiting for him.
It is not easy to save the football in such a collision, Pato must use all his strength.
However, he spent all his energy in the competition with Ledesma, and was not very helpful to AC Milan's overall offense.
Originally, Ancelotti expected Ledesma to be the key player to break the balance between AC Milan and Lazio.
Unexpectedly, before Mr. Key started to play his role, he was dragged into the quagmire of confrontation by the ever-victorious Ledesma... This is not what Pato is good at...
Ancelotti turned his head and glanced at Chang Sheng, then cursed in a low voice: "This cunning Chinese!"
But he actually didn't understand how Chang Sheng found a way to deal with Pato...
Of course he couldn't figure it out. At this time, no one dared to say that Pato would leave AC Milan sadly due to frequent injuries and that Pato would become a complete glass man.
Except for winning.
The advantage of a time traveler is not just reflected in buying a few calves by predicting the future...
