Amelia: Pato will succeed in the Premier League

Marco Amelia has described the new signing Pato as a good asset and believes the Brazilian will succeed in the Premier League.

Amelia has spent some time now at Chelsea after being signed as extra cover to Thibault Courtois when he was injured. The pair have spent three years together at AC Milan and lifted the serie A title in 2011.

Pato is my friend. The last year,  he had an injury and went back to Brazil but the past three years he played very well in Brazil and scored lots of goals. He can play in different positions, as a no.9 striker, as a no.10, they are the same for him.

Amelia is sure Pato will have an immediate impact in the Premier League.

He is a very quick player, a very technical player and good at take-ons. He is a good man and Chelsea is a good chance for him to play in Europe again. In England it is different football because it is very strong but for me he is a good player for England because he has the right mind to play in this country.

Now we wait because he had finished the season in Brazil and he has started training and maybe he can soon help the team play for wins because Chelsea is a top club and every game it has to play to win.
