Alexandre Pato wants Olympic role

AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato has revealed that he wants to represent Brazil at the Olympics this summer.

The 22-year-old has struggled with injury this season, limiting him to just 11 league appearances for the Italian outfit.

"I've been working hard. After Copa America, I have only been thinking about the Olympics. I'm 22 years old, I am confident," Pato told Esporte Espetacular.

Pato has been linked with a move away from Milan at the end of the season.
