Alexandre Pato

Dari Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu, ensiklopedia bebas.

Alexandre Rodrigues da Silva (lahir 2 September, 1989, di Pato Branco, Paraná), lebih dikenali sebagai Alexandre Pato, merupakan pemain bola sepak Brazil yang bermain sebagai penyerang bersama kelab Itali AC Milan ketika ini.

Alexandre mula bermain futsal di usia 4 tahun. Kebolehannya kemudian diketahui di seluruh kawasan selatan Brazilian iaitu di Paraná. Setelah menerima pujian oleh ramai jurulatihnya, remaja tersebut telah pergi ke Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, untuk mencuba nasib bersama Internacional. Pada 2001, dalam usia 11 tahun, beliau berpindah ke sana dan mula berkongsi rumah dengan 83 orang remaja lain, yang juga sepertinya, ingin mencipta nama dalam skuad utama Internacional.

Pada 2000, sewaktu Alexandre berusia 10 tahun, x-ray dari tulang yang patah telah mendedahkan bahawa beliau mempunyai ketumbuhan pada lengannya. Para doktor menyedari bahawa ketumbuhan itu boleh menyebabkan kanser dalam dua bulan sekiranya tidak dibuang. Keluarga Alexandre tidak mampu menampung kos untuk pembedahan untuk membuang ketumbuhan itu, tetapi doktor tersebut, Paulo Roberto Mussi, merupakan kenalan rapat keluarga beliau, dan telah menjalankan pembedahan tanpa bayaran. Peristiwa ini penting kerana ia terjadi pada tahun Alexandre sedang berusaha menggerakkan karier profesionalnya bersama Internacional.

Beliau mengambil nama gelaran Alexandre Pato ("Alex sang Itik"), sempena nama tempat kelahirannya.

Karier kelab

Internacional

Pato memulakan kariernya bersama Internacional di Porto Alegre, di mana beliau bermain untuk kedua-dua pasukan belia dan senior sekitar 2001 dan 2007. Dalam penampilan sulungnya bersama skuad senior, di usia 17 tahun, Pato membantu Internacional untuk menang 4-1 ke atas Palmeiras pada 26 November, 2006. Beliau membantu mencipta tiga daripada gol tersebut dan menjaringkan satu lagi.

Pato menjaringkan gol kedua Internacional dalam separuh akhir Piala Dunia Kelab FIFA 2006 pada 13 December menentang Al-Ahly Cairo, dan membantu pasukan untuk menang 2–1 dan mara ke final. Dengan gol ini, Pato telah mengatasi rekod Pelé sebagai penjaring termuda dalam kejohanan rasmi FIFA (17 tahun dan 102 hari, berbanding rekod Pelé 17 tahun dan 239 hari pada Piala Dunia FIFA 1958 FIFA menentang Wales). Beliau telah digantikan dalam perlawanan akhir kejohanan tersebut, sebelum rakan sepasukan Adriano Gabiru menjaringkan gol kemenangan, yang membolehkan Internacional menjadi juara.

Pato kemudiannya dikaitkan dengan beberapa kelab ternama termasuklah Benfica, Juventus, Inter, Chelsea dan Arsenal.

A.C. Milan

Juara Eropah A.C. Milan dengan rasminya telah mengesahkan pengambilan Pato pada 2 Ogos, 2007. Beliau telah menyatakan sebelum itu bahawa Ronaldo dan Kaká adalah idolanya. Bayaran perpindahan telah menepati klausa bayaran minimum dalam kontrak Pato dengan SC Internacional iaitu €22 juta.
