Alexandre Pato Relishing Derby Test

Milan striker Alexandre Pato is urging fans to turn up in numbers for the derby against Inter this weekend and he is confident in his team’s chances of success against the Nerazzurri.

The Rossoneri have seen a return to form over the last week or so picking up three wins on the bounce against Zurich in the UEFA Cup as well as Lazio and Reggina in Serie A.

Pato was influential in all those games and he is hoping for more of the same against the league leaders.

“I am really happy for the goals I have scored in our recent matches but even more happy that we managed to win away from home,” Pato told Milan News.

“The three points are good for us in terms of the league standings and for morale. Now we are waiting for our fans to come and support us on Sunday for the game against Inter.

“I am looking forward to the derby. When I get on the pitch I always look to do what the coach asks me to in the dressing rooms.”

The Rossoneri will be hoping to end Inter’s unbeaten run this season when they host the Nerazzurri on Sunday night.
