Alexandre Pato hoping to play against Peru

Alexandre Pato did not feature in the World Cup qualifier against Ecuador and this may be the reason why the Selecao only managed a draw. Brazil will now face Peru tomorrow at the Biera Rio Stadium in Porto Alegre and pato is hoping to bring back some good memories.

Pato’s debut for International and the beginning of his professional career was at Biera Rio Stadium so he is hoping to re-live the moment with Brazil. Described as one of the greatest revelations of International in recent years, Pato hit the net 12 times in 27 games before being hired by Milan in 2007.

“I work hard for a chance to play at Beira-Rio. It is an important game for me. I see the stadium full of Inter fans. I go to the game hoping to play so that I can return the affection that the fans have given me for a long time,” said Pato.

Although Pato is the top scorer for his club, he has not been Dunga’s first choice so it will be unlikely that he will start but lets hope Pato comes in as a Substitution and scores within the first few minutes just like Batista did in the last game.
