On April 3, the 6th round of the 2022 MLB season, Orlando City took home to the Los Angeles Galaxy. After 90 minutes of fighting, Orlando City lost 2-4, but it is worth mentioning that in the first half of the game, Pato contributed to Orlando City with a beautiful volley, and this goal was also shortlisted for the MLB's last round of league best goal selection.
In the 36th minute of the match, Pato received a teammate's header and returned it, and shot at the ball, the ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal, and the scene was suddenly boiling. Before that, Pato had also scored a goal, but unfortunately he was offside and the goal was ruled invalid. In addition, in this game, Pato also had 2 successful passes and 2 threatening passes, and was quite active. After the game, he played full and played well, and was named the best player in the team by Orlando City fans.
Last season, Pato, who debuted in the MLB, only played 115 minutes in official matches for Orlando City due to a serious injury, but in mid-January this year, the club still renewed Pato's contract for a year, and now it seems that their choice is undoubtedly correct. Since the start of the 2022 season, Pato has made five appearances for Orlando City in six league rounds, all of which are starting appearances, averaging 83.6 minutes per game, with a total of 2 goals and 1 assist for the team. Today, Pato is tied with another Chinese Super League former foreign aid, Uso, as the team's top scorer. It is worth mentioning that in the last round of the league game between Orlando City and Portland Lumberjacks, Pato completed the connection with Uso and assisted his teammates to score.
Seeing Pato gradually regain his form, team head coach Oscar Pareja was relieved because at the beginning of this year he was the main club executive to renew Pato's contract, and the "Golden Boy" also repaid the manager's trust in him with his outstanding performance. It should be noted that Pareja plays a "4-3-3" squad, and Pato, who can play as a center forward and left and right wingers, has a lot of position flexibility in this lineup. At present, Orlando City is tied for 5th place in the MLB East With a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and the team hopes that Pato can continue to maintain his current state and physical health and provide more help to the team in the next game.
After a season of dormancy, Pato finally found the feeling of scoring goals, but before that, the Brazilian media had exposed the news of Pato's marriage with his wife Rebecca. However, judging from the personal social media of Pato and Rebecca, the reliability of this news is debatable. Because just a week ago, Pato and Rebecca appeared in the NBA audience together, and their personal social media still uses couple avatars.
Although Pato's relationship with Rebecca doesn't seem to be a problem, according to the Brazilian media outlet "Aaronturatv", Pato's father-in-law, Brazilian media tycoon Silvio, has a gap with his own daughter. Because Rebecca was originally one of the important heirs of the Silvio family business, but for her husband, she had always been focused on her career, but she left Brazil and followed Pato to live in the United States, and this move of her daughter made Silvio dissatisfied. Silvio has repeatedly advised Rebecca to balance family and career, but Rebecca not only does not listen to advice, but plans to give up her career for love. In a fit of rage, Silvio asked his media company to remove her daughter's endorsement ads and suspend her column. However, whether the "Aaronturatv" report is true or not remains to be determined, because just over a month ago, Silvio and his family watched Pato's game at the home of Orlando City...
