Pato was interviewed by Milan Sports Daily today. In recent days, he is accompanying his old club to participate in World Tour and other activities as a legend of the Red and Black. Pato has not officially announced his retirement, but he feels that playing football is no longer the top priority, and family life has become his focus. In the interview, in addition to talking about his future, he also talked about various topics about Milan.

About passion for football

"When I was playing in St. Paul, my wife Rebecca got pregnant. It was the first time I realized that training was no longer my priority and I just wanted to be with her. Now with Benjamin, I wanted to watch him grow up and not miss any moment. He is one and a half years old and has started playing football. I will work out through the gym and tennis. I love tennis, and I feel good. I went to a tournament while playing in Orlando City and met Federer who was training there. I hardly dared to bother him, but he immediately called me to play when he saw me. It was an incredible experience."

Football's call to you can never feel it again?

"Seriously, I really can't feel it. My last game was almost two years ago. I didn't have much interest in playing football. Although I was in a transition period and was deciding what to do in the future. I still like football, but my family is always the first. Wearing a Milan jersey is still a huge joy for me, which has evoked many wonderful memories of me."

Then will you be a coach or a manager in the future?

"Who knows...I don't think I'll be a coach, at least for the moment. Maybe I'll be a manager or a club owner. I've gained a lot of experience in my career to help the players. I hope to do that."

Allegri is looking for a center, would you consider making a comeback?

" (smiling) No, I'm over. Although I always love Milan's jerseys. Seeing Allegri sitting in the coaching table, my mind was filled with good memories of us winning the Serie A championship together. We were a team of superstars, including Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Gattuso, Pirlo, Sidorf, Nesta and others. We are an outstanding team and we brought Milan to the top again. Now I hope these players can do it too. Their primary goal should be Champions League qualification and then look at it. Allegri is a guarantee: there are few excellent coaches like him. He is the same as 15 years ago , still be able to win the love of the team. "

About Ancelotti coaching the Brazilian national team

"For us Brazilians, it is an honor to have such a successful coach. Ancelotti has always been a special person to me because he took me to Milan and allowed me to grow. The players will follow him and succeed, but his son David will also lead Botafogo to good results. It is very stressful to coach the Brazilian national team, but if someone can bear this pressure and succeed, that person is Ancelotti. He has the ability to win the World Cup."

If you look back, can you say that you have realized your dream?

"I have played for the best team in the world, Milan, partnered with the strongest players, and my idol: the alien Ronaldo. I have worn the brasil team and Chelsea's jersey. I also had an important experience in China. Finally, I returned to Sao Paulo. Football has brought me too much, and I have no regrets. If I look back on the past, I will smile. Now I want to enjoy the present."
