AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato has put his sights on starting Sunday's Serie A match at home to Napoli. The 18 year old Brazilian sensation signed from Internacional in the summer feels that he is ready to begin playing in the first team.

Pato said of his first team chances: "I feel ready to start. Certainly there is a bit of emotion but I'm calm. I don't feel any pressure," Pato told reporters after arriving in Milan at the weekend.

"I have a week of training in front of me. I have to work hard and then I will hope to be on the field from the start."

Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti said of the youngster: "He will definitely give us something more in terms of quality and we are not scared of giving the lad too much responsibility."
