So he didn't take care of his body and didn't manage his career well? Sucks that they didn't get handlers for him

That's a very insightful read. Thanks for posting.
I remember how dominant he was at AC Milan, and then it's like he just disappeared from the face of the Earth. His story shows how important it is to have a good group of people around you in order to succeed. Giving a supremely talented early 20s kid millions of dollars but no structure around him is most likely not going to end well. For the top athletes in the world, the difference between a star and a generational talent is really in the mentality and health. I think Pato has just as much talent as Cristiano Ronaldo, but Ronaldo has that ultimate discipline that made him one of the GOATs
It's actually shocking to realize he's only 32. Hopefully he can have a successful rest of his career now that it seems to have his life in order

Great article.
Seems like it was injuries and just not having the mental fortitude to deal with all the fame and high expectations.
He did alright though. From growing up relatively poor to dating the billionaire team owner's daughter

Berlusconi is like a super-billionaire. He's worth $6.5B, that's more than double Trump!

No doubt the most important goal he ever scored.
Sounds like he is full of excuses cristiano ronaldo had heart surgery as a teenager among being poor AF too in portugal he almost died. Messy was poor too in argentina and had a pretty serious hormone problem that he had to get treatment for.
