In the end, Zhang Sheng set his sights on the last player and the most famous player, Pato. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Pato became famous as a teenager, joining Serie A giants AC Milan in 2007 for a transfer fee of 22 million euros before he was 18 years old. In his first season at AC Milan, he was hailed by the media as a future superstar with his excellent performances. During the winter break at the end of 2008, Pato officially played for AC Milan for a full year, making 33 appearances in Serie A and European competitions, scoring 17 goals. "Pato in 2008 was the strongest 19-year-old striker in Serie A in 100 years, no one is better than him at this age", and he also became the successor to superstar Kaka.

In the 2009 Champions League match between AC Milan and Real Madrid, Pato and Kaka became a direct contest with Milan's new golden boys, and he scored twice at the Bernabeu to help the team beat their opponents 3-2.

Of course, Pato is best known in European football for his 24-second lightning goal in the 2011 season, which was beaten by the unbeatable Barcelona team, and it was at the Camp Nou, the home of Barcelona.

Pato's performance in the national team was average. In 2008, Pato was selected for the Brazilian Olympic team for the Beijing Olympics, but was unable to become the team's main centre-forward. Brazil lost to Argentina in the semi-finals to win the bronze medal. He helped Brazil to the Confederations Cup in 2009 and in 2011 the number 9 shirt in the Copa America was nothing short as Brazil lost to Paraguay on penalties in the quarter-finals.

At London 2012, Pato competed as a substitute and won a silver medal. Since then, Pato has never been selected for the Brazilian national team.

It should be said that Pato's career is declining step by step.

However, there are two factors in Pato's career decline, one is injury, and the other is being haunted by witches.

Pato's own quality is still very good. His characteristics are very distinct:

The first is speed. This is the first keyword in almost all pages about Pato's introduction. Pato's fastest speed in the 100 meters is 10.7 seconds, and looking at world football, I am afraid that there are few people who can surpass Pato in absolute speed, even Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi. Moreover, Pato is extremely fast with the ball, and can complete complex movements in high-speed dribbling, which is difficult for ordinary defenders to stop him, and Pato can often be seen sweeping over the opposing defenders like a gale. It should be pointed out that Pato's speed characteristics also determine some of his other characteristics, such as stopping the ball and dribbling. One of Pato's signature dribbles is to flick the ball to the side and then eat the opponent raw with his speed.

Then there's his desire to shoot. Some people say that Pato is a shooting machine, and there is some truth to it. But the emphasis here is more on the psychological aspect. It should be said that having a strong desire to shoot should be a quality that every good striker should have.

The second is the decisive action on the field. His movements are concise and practical, and in that sense he is not your typical Brazilian player. He has the ability to get up and down in an instant. From catching the ball to adjusting the posture to shoot, it is often done in one go, without dragging mud and water. At the same time, his shooting action, swinging his legs is extremely fast, explosive, and the ball is ruthless and accurate, which is more like Da Luo at this point.

There is also the fact that he has a better balance between his left and right feet. Sheva and Kaka are both representatives of the balance of the left and right feet. If a good striker only shoots with one foot, he is doomed to miss a lot of opportunities. Pato had both left and right feet in a couple of powerful shots from inside the box.

Finally, there is Pato, who is mature and confident. It is indeed a guarantee that Pato completes a series of technical moves. For a boy who was only 18 years old at the time, with a value of 22 million, facing 80,000 discerning fans at the San Siro and a high level of media attention, Pato's calmness and confidence on the field are commendable. This maturity is also a guarantee that he will continue to grow, accept challenges, and even get through possible lows in the future.

The only thing that bothers such a good player is injuries and off-field factors. Since the second half of 2009, Pato has been plagued by frequent knee injuries, and 2011 was Pato's "high production period", and he spent nearly half a year recuperating from injuries such as Achilles tendon and left shoulder dislocation. He also lost his main position in the national team as a result. Eventually, lingering injuries led Pato to return to the Divisie in January 2013.

At the same time, what plagued his performance was his entanglement with Barbara Berlusconi, the daughter of the owner of AC Milan club. Pato's emotional entanglement with Barbara has been the focus of various Italian newspapers and media entertainment news. Barbara Berlusconi, as the daughter of the former Italian prime minister, has been the focus of media attention, and Barbara's own romance is too numerous to mention. Pato often traveled around Europe with Barbara during the time of his injury, which can be said to be very bad for Pato. Eventually, Barbara also loses her passion for Pato, and Pato is dumped.

Pato returned to Corinthians in the Brazilian Liga for 15 million euros, and in his first season for Corinthians, the past 2013, he made 30 appearances for the team, scoring nine goals and was the team's top scorer. Unfortunately, last season Corinthians only finished 9th in the Brazilian Liga. The team's performance is not good, and the fans are naturally dissatisfied, especially Pato, who came with a transfer fee of 15 million euros. Pulsive fans rushed into Corinthians' training ground to chase the players, and Pato bore the brunt of the conflict, which led Pato to decide to leave Corinthians.

Zhang Sheng, on the other hand, began to formally ask Corinthians to buy the star.

Because Zhang Sheng knew that after Pato returned to Brazil, Pato, who left the Milan Witch, actually practiced very well and was no longer so easily injured. Although Pato's goal efficiency in the three seasons he spent back in Brazil was not as high as he was in Milan, his appearances in three seasons almost matched the number of appearances in six seasons in Milan.

In the end, Zhang Sheng went to Brazil in person to talk to Pato. Pato was a little surprised by the request from a Chinese team, because he was very unfamiliar with China. Faced with Zhang Sheng's invitation, Pato first asked: "Is it safe to play and live in China?"

In desperation, Zhang Sheng had to give him a general idea of the current situation in China, after all, China's security environment is far greater than that of Brazil.

Then Zhang Sheng said: "Actually, I asked you to play in China not because I think you can't join the Brazilian national team, because you are still young and you have a very bright future." ”

Pato said: "But the level of football in China is too low to guarantee that I will be noticed by the Brazilian national team. ”

Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "Although the level of the Chinese league is not high, it is not very low, Loew, Aloisio, Montillo and Kuka, you should have heard of these names, right? Loew is your Brazilian national team striker; Aloisio should be more familiar with, he is the leading striker of Sao Paulo; Montillo I will not say, he won the Silver Ball Award of the Brazilian league for two consecutive years, and was shortlisted for the best team, and was called up by the Argentine national team last year. Kuka is your well-known coach in Brazil. As for the internationals of other countries, there are even more who play in the Chinese Super League, and this has not prevented them from continuing to be selected for their national team. ”

Hearing Zhang Sheng's words, Pato was still a little unimpressed.

Zhang Sheng did not continue to dwell on this question, but said: "Can I analyze the reason why your performance is not as good as before? You can see if what I said is correct." ”

Pato pato paused for a moment this time and said, "Yes, I am very grateful for having one more person to help me analyze and analyze." ”

Zhang Sheng continued: "I think your biggest problem now is not your body, not your attitude to the game, not anything else, your worst thing now is self-confidence!"

Pato shook his head and said, "No way, if I don't have confidence, I won't be able to score any more goals." ”

Zhang Sheng shook his head with a smile and said, "I said this for a reason, wait until I show you something." After speaking, Zhang Sheng took out his laptop from the backpack next to him.

Seeing Zhang Sheng's movements, Pato also felt very strange, but Pato quickly understood, because after Zhang Sheng turned on the camera, he called up an edited video, and the whole video lasted nearly an hour.

Zhang Sheng opened the video and said: "First of all, let's take a look at some of your goals and non-goals videos last season. It's your first goal, you see you got the ball from a team-mate and then burst into the box to shoot, and you've only scored one of those goals this season, and the other goals except for the rush in the box are the insertions in the back row, do you think these goals are the usual way for you to score goals before?"

'If you look at the chances you've wasted on the pitch, these were the few chances you had against Palmeiras last season. This is the 17th minute of the first half, your midfielder Augusto is counterattacking a pass, why don't you run halfway, afraid that the opponent's defender will shovel you? This is the 31st minute of the second half, another long pass from the back to find you, at this time your team has fallen behind 0:2, but you stop the ball beautifully, why don't you shoot directly, you have to adjust?"

"Look at your actions when you are fighting against the other party, you always have to shrink first and then go up to grab it, don't you think you have wasted a lot of opportunities?"

"And these few times in front of the penalty area, obviously there are good shooting angles and gaps, why do you have to pass to your teammates again?"

"And ....." (To be continued.) )
