Pato: Stop Comparing Me With Ronaldo R9 & Pele

Ronaldo R9 Special Feature-

Since his introduction into world football, Alexandre pato has attracted a lot of attention and much of this is deserved, with the prodigious young striker being compared to ronaldo r9 - brasil striker.

Pato, like Ronaldo R9, joined Milan in 2007 and since january 2008 when he became eligible to play for AC Milan, has had a rich vein of form. Scoring 7 times in 13 games in Serie A - inevitably leading comparisons to selecao star ronaldo.

"This is a special moment,” Pato enthused.

“The Seleçao is the dream for any Brazilian boy who begins to play with the ball.”

The 18-year-old has been described by some as the ‘new Fenomeno’, in reference to Ronaldo 's own tag 'el fenomeno' , however it something Pato dislikes.

“Leave aside words like phenomenon,” he said.

“I still have everything to prove.”

And everything to prove he does with Pato being only 18 years old it is absurd to reach such conclusions that he is the new ronaldo. However such comparisons are inevitable with both ronaldo r9 and pato being at ac milan, only time will tell whether Pato has the capacity to match the great ronaldo on the biggest stage - the world cup in 2010.

Ronaldo R9 eyes Flamengo stint before full AC Milan Return

Ronaldo R9 has recently expressed his desire to join Flamengo on a loan deal as part of his rehab process.

Ronaldo, Ac milan striker, injured his knee earlier this year, setting him back at least nine months before he can return to full training.

The Brazilian startlet believes a stint at Brazilian side Flamengo could help his rehabilitation process - before entering Serie A action with AC Milan.

"I am not giving up," Ronaldo told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I don't see myself without football.

"I am working four hours a day in order to recover.

"Before I can think of Europe and Milan, I would like to spend a couple of months at Flamengo."

Ronaldo R9 added that his scheduled nine-month rehabilitation programme was progressing well.

"For the time being everything is okay and the doctors have given me hope, telling me that the knee is healing well," he said.

Ronaldo's deal at Milan ends this summer although AC Milan, specifically Silvio Berlusconi has stated his wish to extend his contract for a further year.

It is important not to second guess the rehab process, although a stint at Flamengo could well go some way to improving confidence and Ronaldo technique as he gets his touch back slowly out of the limelight of Serie A.

This could well then ease him into 2010 WC contention - although will need to prove he is worthy ahead of Luis Fabiano (in fantastic form), Alfonso Alves (undoubedtly better than Alves although form is crucial) etal.

Undoubedtly a 'phenomenom' - Brasil cannot find a better striker than Ronaldo, although the rehab process will be crucial and then the form he can show with his team - whether it be AC Milan or Flamengo

Capello: Ronaldo R9 Better Than Van Basten

Ronaldo R9 fell out of favour at Real Madrid with Fabio Capello, but it was his former coach that jumped to his backing - declaring ronaldo the best player he had ever coached.

He had a difficult relationship with Capello although Capello has since praised the Brazilian's ability and mentality.

On Ronaldo's recent knee injury, he said: "Unfortunately I saw it live and I was very sad. "Aside from everything that's been said, I have always claimed he is the best player I've ever coached, even superior to Marco Van Basten.

"Unfortunately this is a very serious injury and he will have to work hard to come back. "I hope he does, because players like him are too important for football. He has to make it, he has to find back the pride and the will to come back."

We once again hope Ronaldo can stay strong, physically and mentally, through these hard months of rehabilitation, and reocver the pride, energy that inspired thousands of football fans worldwide.

Cappello is just one of them - keep fighting and believing ronaldo R9
