Yes, very good article. I don't agree with them on a couple of things though.
They say that Pato will build up muscle, lose pace and become a target man of sort.

While players like Robinho and Messi haven't changed that much after growing up phase, that includes their speed and physical characteristics.

Its the same what happened to Sheva(it has to be a strategy of some kind of our medical team). Sheva when came 22 years of age was normal build player, very skilfull player, who was cutting form the left and taking on defenders. With time he build up on muscular mass, become slower but he was very complete player and he used it to his advantage playing like a Striker(not a target man). The same is not happening to Pato because of his limitation on time and space due to Ibra (rightfully though).
