Alexandre Rodrigues da Silva (born 2 September 1989), commonly known as Alexandre Pato, is aBrazilian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Italian Serie A club AC Milan and is part of the Brazilnational team. He has been given nickname Pato is in honour of his place of birth (Pato Branco, Parana); though thishas led to commentators calling him The Duck, which is the literal translation of Pato from Portuguese.

Pato is one of the key players that sustain my succes at AC Milan in the last 2 seasons. He had a fantastic run overthe last two years, provinding fantastic performances for the club. In my 4-1-2-1-2 tactic that I use at AC Milan, Pato is in the Poacher role.
