On July 19, Beijing time, the 14th round of the Baja League was also a focus match, sitting at home to the sixth place Red Bull Bragantino in the league, welcoming their opponent Sao Paulo in this round of challenges. In the end, the two sides drew 0-0, each receiving 1 point to return home. Of course, the most eye-catching thing in this game was probably the person who stood up on the bench in the 80th minute of the game, he is the former Brazilian golden boy Pato!

Although he officially announced his joining Sao Paulo as early as May, Pato was slow to return to his previous form due to injury, so he is also waiting for his return debut. In the end, in this game against Red Bull, Pato was also in the squad for the first time after joining the team, and sure enough, in the case of a delay in the opening of the situation, the last substitution of the team in the 80th minute of the game was also given to Pato, wearing the number 12 shirt He also directly became the focus of the game, although he failed to contribute a goal, but Pato posted a photo after the game to celebrate his hard-won debut, "It's really nice to be back on the pitch, thank God for opening a new chapter in our story." ”
Now 33 years old, Pato is probably a model of fame over strength in football, and even exaggerated that he may be one of the most acclaimed players in the history of the Golden Boy Award! Debuting in the Baja Liga club Internacional Brasil, he landed on European giants AC Milan as early as 2007, and with his son Ah 08/09 in 36 appearances and scored 15 goals, he was not yet 20 years old at that time, he also defeated the future "Montenegrin old demon" Jovitic and Barça "new Messi" Bojan, won the 2009 Golden Boy Award.
However, due to injury, his football career at AC Milan came to an abrupt end, and we all know that his famous work was in the opening 24 seconds of lightning goals against Barca in the 2011/2012 Champions League, but this was his last highlight at AC Milan! He was sold to Bundesliga club Corinthians in 2013 due to injury, and since then he has failed to meet the expectations of his fans, either at Chelsea or at Villarreal in La Liga.
Of course, when it comes to Pato, I have to mention that his career is probably the last highlight of the Chinese Super League, after landing in Tianjin Quanjian, who was coached by Cannavaro at the time, Pato also showed good form, contributing 36 goals and 8 assists in 60 appearances in 2 seasons, as if he was rejuvenated. Outside the stadium, Pato is also quite dashing, often shopping in Tianjin he is one of the few players who fully integrate into the local environment, and even he wants to find a Chinese girlfriend, once also expressed his admiration for Chinese female star Di Li Gerba, which is also a good story in the Chinese Super League fan community.
However, the Chinese Super League is the last highlight of his career so far, and since then, whether it is returning to the Baja Liga or going to the major leagues, Pato will not be able to return to the heroic form of the Chinese Super League, from the current situation, the 33-year-old has suffered a number of knee injuries, and it may be difficult to end his career soon.
