Pato: AC Milan coach Leonardo getting best from me

AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato feels coach Leonardo is playing him to his absolute strengths. The Brazilian took a little while to grow accustomed to the 4-3-3 system, but the team has found its balance.

"I am doing really well on the right and am doing my work for the Coach and all my teammates," smiled the teenager.

"I'm eager to track back and help out in defence. I think it is the perfect position for me.

"It's wonderful to work with Ronaldinho, as he is always happy when he arrives for training. It's a pleasure for me to be his teammate and I can always learn from someone who has won the World Cup and the Ballon d'Or.

"Could I take those trophies? I hope so, but there is plenty of time. First of all I want to win everything with the squad, then the individual success comes as a result of that."
