The 18-year old striker has been recruited last summer but was unable to play in the Serie A until he turned 18.

“Of course there is some emotion, but at heart I am calm. I don’t feel any excess pressure. I am adapting well to Milan and I have my team-mates to thank as they are very close to me and are giving me their support," Pato told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Will I start against Napoli? The boss will choose whether I play or not and who I start alongside up front. I have a week of training ahead of me where I have to work hard if I am to play from the first minute,” added the former Internacional player.
