Alexander Rodrigues Da Silva, more widely known as Alexander Pato, was born on the 2nd of September, 1989, in Pato Branco, Brazil.
Pato started playing football when he was seven years old, playing indoor soccer.
At just 16 years of age he was the star of the Brazilian championship. In November of 2006 he was chosen to be part of the senior International squad.
In his very first match he needed only one minute to score his first goal.
In his second game he broke an old Pele record becoming the youngest player ever to score in a FIFA tournament. He scored for Brazil's Internacional, who would go on to become World Club Champions that year, beating Ronaldinho's Barcelona in the final.
On the 28th of August, 2007, Milan spent 20 million euros to buy Pato.
In his very first match for Milan he did it again and scored a debut goal on his very first touch of the ball.
In 2008 Pato was called to the Brazilian national side in a friendly against Sweden. Sure enough, he did it again, scoring in his debut match after only being on the field for minutes, joining only a handful of greats to score for Brazil on their debut, alongside the likes of Zico and Pele.
Surely this bright talent is destined to break many football records in a very bright future. At 18 he has already done more than most dream of in a career.
