Alexandre Patou (37), who was considered one of the "worst recruits" at Chelsea in the past, will return to the England stage for the first time in 10 years. It is not just a player but as an owner of the team.
British 'Sports Bible' reported on the 26th (local time) that "former AC Milan and Brazilian star Patou are in shocking negotiations to acquire Colchester United from the English League Two (fourth division)."
Patou reportedly visited the "Jobserve Community Stadium," Colchester's home stadium, in person over the weekend. It wasn't just a viewing. He watched the game in the VIP box with the current owner of Colchester, Robbie Cowling. It was confirmed that they held 'preliminary talks' to take over the club at the meeting.
Cowling, who has run the club since 2006, has recently vowed to sell if an appropriate investor appears, with Pato emerging as a likely partner.
For your information, Fatou's relationship with England is close to bad luck. In the winter of 2016, he moved on loan from Corinthias to Chelsea, dreaming of a "resurrection of genius," but the result was disastrous. In the midst of injuries and sluggishness, he only scored one goal in two games. At the time, local fans ridiculed him as a "failure."
But after retirement, my second life was a twist. Fatou, who has accumulated enormous wealth and business skills as a player, is now aiming to return gold to the English soccer world as a "boss" rather than a "player."
Local media are comparing Fatou's actions to the "Rexum model." Just as Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds took over Wrexham to promote the team as it drew international attention, Fatou also appears to have ambitions to turn the lower league team into a popular club using star quality as a weapon.
British fans seem to be surprised, saying, "Something that you would see in FM (football manager) games has actually happened" and "Pato has returned as chairman." Attention is focusing on how the bid to return to the owner of Chelsea, leaving behind failure, will create a new wind in England's fourth division.
