New AC Milan teenage wonderkid Alexandre Pato is playing down his soaring reputation and learning from the best.
The 17-year-old, who joined the Rossoneri from Internacional in the summer, is seen as the great new hope of Brazilian football.
But Pato, whose team-mates will include Kaka, Cafu and Ronaldo, believes there are players more deserving of that tag in Milan.
Pato told 'Zero Hora': "The true phenomenon is Ronaldo and I want to learn from him and ask him advice.
"When I arrived at Milanello for the medical tests Ronaldo came to see me, was at my side and told me to see him if I needed anything. I have always wanted to play with him and delighted I now can."
