MILAN – Here’s what ALexandre Pato had to say from Dubai today."I think I can say that winning the Italian league is extremely difficult so doing it was a great satisfaction. We won the Super Cup as well. It was an important year and injuries apart it went really well.”
“When I arrived in Milan, I had to wait a while before playing but since I started I’ve always wanted to win. We didn’t win from the start but we did it with coach Allegri and I’m really happy about that.”
“I always want to win. That’s my objective in every game. I’ll always give my all in all the games I play to help the team.”
“I won’t hide the fact that the Champions League is the most important objective. It’s where all the big team plays so you have to try and get as far as you can. But we want to win the league as well and won’t sacrifice it. We’ll have to be careful of other teams though. Not just Juventus because there are other teams that are well prepared and can do well right up until the end.”
“Before the draw for the Champions League I spoke to Andre Santos at Arsenal and told him that we would be playing against each other. And I was right. Now we just have to wait, prepare well and stay focused. It’ll be a tough game like all the others. They have a lot of young players who really want to win and a great coach in Wenger so we’ll have to give our all to get through.”
“The relationship with Allegri is very professional. He spoke with the whole team yesterday and we’re all here with the same aim. To do the best we can because all players here can play their part in winning. There’s no tension, we’re very calm and working well ahead of the friendly with PSG. We want to start the year well. We’re both professionals and we know we have to do our best all the time for the team and ourselves. He, like me, thinks the same. Win and help the team. We’re fine with the coach, you even saw us playing together during training.”
“I saw my name linked with PSG but I onlòy mentioned them because we play them in a few days.”
“I mentioned Carlo Ancelotti a few days ago but I also mentioned Leonardo. No one wrote that. They were both my coaches here at Milan. All three were good and all three though along the same lines; winning is everything. Allegri’s advice to me always welcome.”
“I don’t know if PSG are after me. I haven’t even spoken to my agent. He only called me once and that was four years ago when he asked me where I wanted to go. That was the only time I made a choice about where I wanted to play and I chose Milan. I think he’ll only speak to me when there’s something real to report.”    
“If Carlo Ancelotti was to call me now I saw to him what I would say to anyone else. He someone I’ve worked with and when you talk about the job, you have to talk to my agent. But just to talk with him wouldn’t be a problem because he’s someone who has been a t thins club for a long time. I could talk to him like I could talk to my first coach Vel.
I sent him Christmas wishes recently, but to him personally like all the people on my list. And he responded like all the others.”
“My contract with the club goes up to 2014. I want to do well and honour my contract but as far as the transfer market goes, the club will speak to my agent about such things.”
“Tevez? I think as a player, eveyone likes him. He’s a real champion and if he was to come here, we’d be happy. Milan always have great players and another one would be welcome. With or without him, whether or not I play is up to the coach. Even in the Champions League where Tevez wouldn’t be able to play”Aquilani said the coach doesn’t have to be your friend. That’s his opinion and I respect it. I just think about doing my best on the pitch and keeping my private life private.”
We’ll celebrate the New Year this evening and we’re ready to start it on the right foot. A wish for the New Year? That it’ll be a great year for all Milan fans!”
