Pato not nervous over AC Milan debut

"I have many years ahead of me to prove myself a talent. First of all I will focus on scoring my opening goal, then I'll think about many more to follow," said the teenager ahead of Sunday night's big match against Napoli.

"We will see if my first goal comes this weekend. Right now I am very relaxed and happy to be a Milan player who has the chance to face Napoli."

Pato revealed his big childhood hero, Ronaldo, has been on hand to give him advice.

"Ronaldo gives me good advice," he told Sky Italia television. "He always tells me to relax, not think of the many people who talk about me and to prove who Pato really is."
