Alexandre Pato: 'No Brazil striker better than me'


Former AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato said there is no Brazilian striker better than him, with Dunga set to announce his next squad on Thursday.

After almost two years without receiving a cap for the national team the Brazilian forward is eager to be called upon by Dunga after stating that the Coach does not have a better option.

"My goal is to return to the national team. There's a selection on Thursday, I have a lot of potential and I am prepared to be selected," he told TV Bandeirantes.

"I do not see anyone better than me.

"I can be there to help. I can play as a false nine, or as a right or left winger, but the decision remains in Dunga's hands. I have tried to help my team-mates as much as I can."

Pato has scored 10 goals in 27 internationals for Brazil, with muscle injuries having seen the former Internacional youth player struggle to reach his full potential in six seasons with Serie A team AC Milan.

"The more you play, the more you are in the field and boosts your confidence to play," Pato told SporTV.

"At this point, I am more confident than in other years. I have done my best on the pitch, made goals, but the Selecao is a goal. I want to return to the Selecao as soon as possible."
