Chelsea, Pato is already a mystery

Roman Abramovic’s move to bring Alexandre Pato back to Europe, specifically to the ranks of Chelsea, surprised the entire soccer world a bit, especially the Italian one. However, it seemed that the management and staff of the Londoners really believed in a return to high levels of the “duck”, as evidenced by his inclusion in the Champions list. But now it is mystery: a month after his arrival, the player has still not been summoned by Guus Hiddink.

In a press conference before the match against Southampton, the Dutch coach said, “To see him play will still need some time, he has to regain his best form first. However, it is not certain then that he will be a starter right away, he will also have to win his place.”

The problem could be the usual muscle discomfort that seemed to have compromised the Brazilian player’s career. To get to the bottom of this we will probably have to wait a few more months, see if the former champion will return to the one admired in his first seasons in Milan or if his injury list will lengthen.
