Ancelotti Hails Pato's Instinct

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti heaped praise on the young talent Alexandre Pato who will be available for the Rossoneri from the beginning of January.

Pato was signed by Milan this summer, but will only be able to start playing officially for the European Champions in January.

Coach Ancelotti is looking forward to seeing the young Brazilian in action after following him every day during the training sessions.

"He's a very young lad who plays like a player of the highest level," declared the former Parma and Juventus coach.

"He's a great champion and he will surely prove this. We must just wait till January when he will start playing."

"The only deficiency he had in this period is that he did not learn much Italian, but these are players whom you don't have to tell much," continued Ancelotti.

"They have so much talent and unique quality that it is not necessary to tell them many things, to avoid complicating their ideas.

According to Ancelotti, Pato's best quality is his instinct.

"He uses a lot the instinct, and instinct is something you have inside you and which you cannot improve or worsen.

"He has it, he had luck and God gave him these qualities.

"Then it's up to him to take advantage and to improve the performance of the team."
