Pato scores and Milan win in a friendly against Al Sadd
After Pato expressed his frustration of his goals not doing any good for his team, the team answered his prayers and beat Al Sadd today in a friendly. Pato scored in the 27th minute but Al Sadd then drew 10 minutes later through Mohammed Golam. Luckily for Pato and the team, Antonini quickly responded a minute later with the last goal of the game giving Milan the win and boosting the teams confidence.
Although today was only a friendly it gave Milan a chance to perform without any pressure which is what they might just need before they face Atalanta on Sunday.

Pato is frustration
Alexandre Pato has already scored 15 goals in all competitions this season but he has expressed his frustration with his team not winning despite the amount of goals he has scored.
“My goals aren’t much use, we aren’t winning, and this is what bothers me,” said Pato.
“Too bad, I’ve already scored 15 goals this season, but many of them have been useless. To get out of this crisis we have to work hard. I am sure Milan will get out of this, and qualify for the next Champions League.”
“In the first half I was too alone up front, then in the second half with [Filippo] Inzaghi’s entrance it went better.”

AC Milan lose
A troubled Milan found it difficult to overcome a 2-0 deficit after Cassano and Pazzini found the back of the net at the 33rd and 52nd minute respectively.
Pato pulled one back at the 80th minute with a brilliant header from a Favalli cross. The strike helped lift the teams confidence and minutes later a Pirlo free kick was put in by Emerson but the equaliser was cancelled due to Emerson being offside.
The Rossoneri continued to attack but Sampdoria held grimmly and Milan now leave Genoa with no points.
