Orlando City striker, United States, Alexandre Pato, 32, never thought he would have a heavy goal charge within his own family. And the player’s father-in-law, Silvio Santos, 91, is the one who stands out. The owner of SBT has been following his career in the North American team that competes in the MLS (Major League Soccer) and doesn’t get tired of asking Pato to make an effort on the field. .
“First, I was all shy, I didn’t talk about anything, but now we’re closer. We talk about football and he gets tough sometimes: ‘You have to score, huh, man! You did this, you did that’. It’s funny.” , admits the husband of Rebeca Abravanel, 41, daughter number 5 of Silvio Santos.
Pato participated in the podcast “Fala, Brasolho” and said he needed to build up courage before meeting the presenter. He recalled that he ran away from Silvio Santos at the beginning of their relationship and was surprised to see him greeting neighbors on the street.
“I went to take her to her parents’ house and I was super nervous. As soon as we got close, I saw a movement on the street. It was him in a colorful outfit, walking, greeting people. I got scared because I didn’t know the family and then I I left her and left”, he assumes.
The player also revealed that he has played with imitating the presenter when he was alone with Rebeca, but she did not approve. “I’ve imitated him at home and, from time to time, I joke. Rebeca doesn’t like it and says ‘that’s not for you to do'”, explains Pato. He and the businesswoman have been together since late 2018 and got married in July 2019.
