Many Brazilian stars have a characteristic: they have a very short career, and just over 25 are already a classic car that is about to be scrapped. These highly anticipated but meteor-like stars have had a career that can be called a negative textbook, and a good hand of cards is played poorly, and it really should be picked up.
But after digging it off, it turns out that the reason for their fall is an open secret, a well-known reason, a weakness that men never seem to be able to eradicate: flirtatiousness, chaotic private lives.
Our protagonist today, Alexander Pato, is such a person. As a player, he is a failure, his career is high and low, and he has become a "wounded Zhongyong" type player, as a man, he is successful, his girlfriend is like a marquee, and he is the best in the world. To be able to read the best in the world like Pato is not in vain!
Ill-fated, noble people descended from heaven
In 1989, in Pato Blanco, Brazil, a baby croaked to the ground, and this town with a population of only 70,000 people was a little more angry because of the baby's crying. The baby's parents were delighted and gave him the name "Alexandre Rodríguez da Silva", which later became Pato.
Pato's childhood scripts were no different from those of other superstars, and his family was generally full of talent. At the age of 3, he began to play indoor football and showed extraordinary talent, and at the age of 4, he won the first children's indoor soccer championship with other friends, but at the age of 11, the first bad luck suddenly struck, which caught people off guard.
During a race, Pato injured his left arm, and at the time of diagnosis, it was accidentally detected that the humerus of his left arm was deformed, and a bone had become cancerous, and if not treated in time, it would have to be amputated.
This is the same bad news as Messi's dwarfism in childhood. The news was like a bolt from the blue, and Pato's parents, who were not wealthy, were caught off guard and in unbearable pain. Fortunately, a doctor named Mussi helped him, and the cancerous bone in Pato's left arm was replaced, and the operation was quite successful, and Pato gradually recovered after the operation.
The incredible "coincidence" that will only appear in this movie makes the childhood of Pato, who became famous as a teenager, full of fantasy and exists like a prodigy. In 2006, at the age of 17, Pato signed his first professional contract with the Brazilian club. In December 06, in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Pato started and scored 1 goal, breaking the record for the youngest goal in an international first-class competition held by the football king Pele at the age of 17 years and 102 days.
A few days later, Pato won the Club World Cup with Internacional Brazil in the final against Champions League winners Barcelona.
The stunning performance will naturally win the favor of the wealthy European giants. Galacticos, Real Madrid, and AC Milan, the Rossoneri, have both taken note of the lanky but unusually agile teenager. In the end, the €22 million gamble allowed AC Milan to stand out in the PK against Real Madrid, successfully bringing Pato, who is under 18 years old, to the San Siro Stadium.
Europe's golden boy, the curse of injury
At this time, Pato has grown into a young talent with a cute baby face, and he is as unique and alternative as Kaka in the Brazilian national team, where brown people are predominant.
Pato's talent is universally recognized. The terrifying demon in FIFA, with his fast speed, ghostly figure, delicate breakthrough, and strong ability to control and protect the ball, made him quickly become the darling of the world. In the 08-09 season, Pato scored 18 goals in all competitions for Milan and became the team's top scorer.
Young stars need to have a battle to establish their status, just like the unknown young player Guan Yu, who was still a horse archer, quickly became famous after killing Huaxiong with wine. Pato's battle for fame was on October 21, 09, in the Champions League group stage, AC Milan and Real Madrid met in a narrow way, and the 20-year-old Pato scored two goals to become famous, helping Milan defeat the opponent 3:2. At the end of the year, Pato won the European Golden Boy Award.
Just when Milan fans were ecstatic about Pato's performance and thought they had found a replacement for Kaka, the "injury curse" began to frequent Pato. In January '10, Pato suffered a muscle strain in training, and in March, in Serie A, Milan's 1-1 draw with Napoli, Pato was injured again.
The continuous muscle strain left a psychological shadow on Pato, and Pato was much more cautious on the field after that, but this still couldn't get rid of the injury devil. In the two years since, Pato has accumulated 14 injuries, his appearances and goals have plummeted, and he even missed the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
But all this is not too much of a problem, Messi was also injured at every turn when he first debuted, and the glass attribute was missing. As long as the training attitude is good enough, as long as you have enough motivation and desire to win, the injury problem will definitely be overcome, as long as there are no moths.
But the moth still came. The serious boy Alexander Pato, because of the arrival of a person, became a nightclub, a new generation of debauchery of the little prince of nightclubs, he is Xiao Luo.
Follow the eldest brother to let go of himself and go astray
In fact, Pato just looks like a serious boy on the outside, and that cute, harmless face does hide the scumbag attributes of his prodigal son in love to some extent.
As soon as he turned 18 years old, Pato had already entered the palace of marriage. His wife is Brazilian actress Sefanie Brito, who is 2 years older than him, with both appearance and figure, smooth sailing in the Milan giants, and holding a beauty, which can be described as a winner in life and a bumper harvest in family and career. But just nine months later, Pato divorced in disgrace.
Sefanie complained about the memories of the marriage, saying that Pato's private life was chaotic and completely unacceptable.
"I was 18 years old, and there were Ronaldinho, Maldini and Kaka in the dressing room, and Ronaldo called me to him, asked if I was in his camp or Kaka's, and gave me a Playboy magazine. ”
Judging from his later performance, Pato must have joined the camp of Xiao Luo without hesitation, and together with Robinho, he became the new little prince of the nightclub. From then on, Pato was completely free of himself. In 10 years, Xiao Luo had a grand party at home, attended by Pato and Robinho, and he didn't return to the party all night, exactly like the scumbags in the school who went out to the night market in the middle of the night.
But it is unfair to put all the blame for Pato's addiction to nightlife and eventually leading to the decline of his career on Xiao Luo, Messi is also Xiao Luo's younger brother, and he has the grace to support Messi, but Xiao Luo's indulgent life off the field has not affected Messi at all. Therefore, the pursuit of human nature determines what kind of road he will take, and a person who is essentially addicted to alcohol is not the same as seeing blood from a fly?
For students who don't go home all day and night, it is inevitable that their grades will decline. Pato, who has an extremely rich nightlife, although he can still maintain a stable performance on the field, but injuries have become a lingering nightmare in his Milan career, and frequent injuries have gradually consumed the patience of then-head coach Leonardo, and the once golden boy has gradually reduced from the core of the team to a marginal figure.
But that didn't affect Pato's flirtatious pace. Maybe those women in the nightclub were too easy to get used and tired of playing, and he set his sights on a royal sister.
The life of the horse master
Barbara Berlusconi, born in 84, is the daughter of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, vice president of AC Milan, a master of love, and a courtesan.
Her first boyfriend was a banker, 8 years older than her, had two sons, and the two broke up at the age of 27 because Barbara split her legs. Because she was photographed kissing a strange man, this peachy news was finally suppressed by his father with 20,000 euros, and did not let this peach-colored rotten melon develop in the direction of public opinion.
Not long afterward, Barbara threw herself into Pato's arms. With two children, 5 years older, it is difficult to understand what Pato, who has no shortage of women, thought in his heart at that time, and can only say that the power of love is too strong, and all practical problems can be eliminated in an instant.
So the strange "sister and brother love" that made people in the football world talk about it was born. Pato's name of "Master of the Horses" is also not far away, climbing this high branch, Pato shines again, but outside the field, Pato in the arena, the performance is becoming more and more lackluster, forever shrouded by lace news, Pato's image is more and more on par with his Brazilian predecessors who linger in nightclubs.
During the period of love, Pato and Barbara often show their affection in public and sprinkle dog food, which can be described as a burst of happiness, but such a dry firewood like a relationship often does not last long, the wind does not end, and the showers do not end. Two years later, Pato was sold to Brazil, and this "sibling relationship" ended without a problem. It is said that the day after the breakup was announced, Barbara was photographed with her new boyfriend, Barbara Berlusconi, a veritable royal sister.
So this relationship can be summarized as the story of the emotional overflow of the domineering female president who got rid of the scumbag little milk dog, it is difficult to say who takes advantage and who suffers, but as a Milan Brazilian star, he is not as handsome as Kaka, and his playing skills are not as good as Xiaoluo, and he can actually soak a woman like Barbara, and like to mention the name of "Milan Horse Master", which is enough to show that in the area of flirting with girls, Pato is the level of the top master in the football world.
Pa Jianguo, who likes to see, and Di Lieba, who can never be moved
In fact, from the moment Pato left Milan, his career can basically be concluded, that is, a talented player who has fallen for various indescribable reasons.
Later, Pato traveled to Corinthians in Brazil, Sao Paulo, Chelsea in the Premier League, Villarreal in La Liga and other teams, but due to injuries, he could not replicate the courage of the year. In 2017, Pato joined Tianjin Quanjian and lived a "pension" life in advance.
At that time, Pato was not yet 30 years old, and the star who should have destroyed the city and shined in the five major European leagues had to come to the distant "wild land" to work hard in the Super League, which was a big psychological blow to the former golden boy with lofty ambitions. But Pato, who came to the Chinese Super League, did not sink, but let Chinese fans get to know the former Milan horse master up close.
Pato, who joined Quan Jian, performed conscientiously on the field, did not have a star frame, mingled with his teammates, and Drogba, who joined Shanghai Shenhua with a superstar halo but could not score goals, can be described as a world of difference.
In addition to the outstanding performance on the field, Pato's story outside the court is richer, kicking shuttlecock, riding a bicycle, playing table tennis, pancake fruit square dancing, deeply won the essence of "from the masses to the masses", and gradually became an Internet celebrity star in the sports circle.
On the 68th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Pato sent his blessings for the first time, and since then, Pato has a different name in China "Pa Jianguo".
But for Pato, playing football is just a side hustle, and wherever he goes, he can't forget his main business - flirting with girls. He set his eyes on Di Lieba.
However, like most girls in China, Di Lieba is a "sports blind", and basically ignores the news about sports, so Reba expressed full respect for Pato's many aerial expressions of love, that is, ignoring them.
It's right to ignore it, such a romantic guy split Brazil's girlfriend during the Chinese Super League, so Pato's confession of Di Lieba's purpose is obvious.
In 19, Pato returned to the club of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the two sides signed a three-year contract, and in February 21, the 31-year-old Pato signed with the American professional league team Orlando City to go to the country on the other side of the ocean to flirt with his sister.
I believe that the country that is much more open than China will definitely make Pato's flirtatious career more colorful.
Injuries, women, genius to mediocrity
Taking stock of Pato's career, he found that injuries and women were topics he could never avoid. This fragrant glutton, who became famous all over the world when he debuted and was robbed by wealthy families, finally became a hot potato wandering everywhere step by step, and the lack of self-discipline and chaos in his private life is the biggest reason.
Counting the girlfriends Pato has dated, all of them are the best in the world. The first wife, Sefani, is a Brazilian supermodel and actress who broke up after 9 months of marriage; In just 4 months later, Pato hooked up Brazilian supermodel Deborah, but the relationship ended after only 40 days.
After that, the mother of two children who was 5 years older than him, the prime minister's daughter Barbara, broke up two years later; Soon Pato dated Sofia Matar, the second generation of the rich Brazilian man; After returning to Brazil from Serie A, Pato once again changed to a new girlfriend, Fiorella Matthias, who was a model and host, and this relationship ended because Pato split his leg after he went to the Chinese Super League, and it is said that Pato split a white rich beauty during the Chinese Super League.
But how can Pato, a master of flirting girls, allow himself to have an emotional vacuum? Soon, an eldest sister with outstanding appearance and charm entered his life. At 38 years old, TV presenter Rebecca Abravanel, who is nine years older than Pato, became his new girlfriend......
Compared with his dazzling girlfriend, Pato left too few classic shots on the green field, which can be described as few, except for the two goals against Real Madrid and the first record in the Milan derby, it was the 11 Champions League 24 seconds blitz Universe Barcelona.
So as a player, Pato is not successful, because he did not fulfill the talent that made the world blush, as a man, he is too successful, fame, money, and countless young models and beauties, this is probably the most common appearance of a layman full of emotions and desires after success.
But the Creator is fair. Years later, when the world was looking through the historical rosters of world football, Pato's name was destined to be grouped with players such as "self-defeating, self-degenerating, amorous, football scumbag". Originally, he could be with Messi to become a supernova and shine eternally, becoming an important part of the world football hall of fame, and being remembered and admired by the world for a long time.
