The centre-forward of the San Siro outfit has gone on to remark on the penalty kick that he missed in their defeat to the Florence based side, Fiorentina.
AC Milan have been a shadow of their side and there have been a lot of disappointed fans and pundits, who have witnessed a drastic change in their fortunes in as little a time span as one year. More specifically we can say that it only took one transfer
window for the Rossoneri outfit to let go of all their superior and quality players and they managed to cave into the pressure of the FIFA Financial Fair Play regulations.
They let go of a number of their top players and bid farewell to more than 13 players during the transfer window. The window saw the departure of legends like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Filippo-Inzaghi-c13777. Besides from the Senators
who left the club, the San Siro outfit also sold their best players of the prior season in the transfer market.
One of the biggest summer transactions in the Italian Serie A saw the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302
to bitter rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, and the former Real Madrid centre forward has been in sparkling form for the Nerazzurri outfit.
This has increased the pressure on the relatively senior players in the squad and this was prevalent in the way that many players have been targeted in the media. One of the higher profile players at the club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Pato-c4901, was not lucky in converting
his penalty kick and was jeered by the fans. Pato reflected on the kick by stating:
“I am disappointed at missing the spot-kick, but I am a penalty taker and so am not afraid to miss. If I should find myself on that spot again in future, maybe even against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, I would not pull back. I put all of myself into it. Unfortunately the ball
went out, but I cannot say I gave it less than 100 per cent, as I practiced it in training.”
Milan lost that match by 3-1.
