Despite having left Italy in 2013, there's still Serie A and especially Milan in Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato's mind. The 29-year-old, currently at Tianjin Quanjian, discussed his former team ahead of the derby in an interview with Corriere dello Sport: "It will be a great match. Gattuso is very focused, he is doing an amazing job. On the other side, Inter are a strong team, it will be a tough game, the team that approaches the game with the right mentality will win it".
The Brazilian also revealed that the idea of seeing him play in the Serie A again may be not that far-fetched: "I have received some offers from Italian club but also from other Eurupean clubs. Let's see what happens at the end of the year. Return to Milan? Leonardo and I sometimes joke about it, but there a great difference between joke and reality. I still have a year left on my contract here in China, let's see what happens".
From a Brazilian to another, this is Pato's opinion on the Rossoneri latest signing Paquetà: "He is really great. My piece of advice to him is to learn Italian as soon as possible so he can settle fast and also to try his best to do well both on and off the pitch. Milan fans are incredible and will surely love him".
