Pato happy with first season at AC Milan

Alexandre Pato says he's delighted with his first season at AC Milan.

"I chose Milan because they are a great team and everybody told me that I couldn't choose a better club," Pato explained.

"This side is like a family. There are lots of Brazilians here and so many people to keep me calm.

"Marcos Cafu is always around me and talking to me and is a reference point for any Brazilian who arrives at Milan.

"My compatriots are great examples for me from Ronaldo to Emerson and Kaka to Serginho - they have won so much and I admire them lots.

"Personally, I still have lots of things to improve, including my Italian, which I am studying hard every day," he continued.

Pato's form has earned him a call from Carlos Dunga for Brazil's friendly against Sweden in London on March 26.

"I am Brazilian and it's very important to me to wear the Selecao jersey. I am very happy to be picked and also delighted that Kaka will be there," Pato grinned.
