Kaká - unstoppable in his prime

[artetas_biggest_fan]

Before the Messi/Cristiano Ronaldo decade of dominance of the worlds best player award there was Kaká, an almost forgotten man. It’s easy to forget just how unbelievably good he was in his prime at Milan. The acceleration and that long stride just saw him glide past players on a regular basis. Every game you watch of his he does it. Thank God for YouTube that his best is captured, as without it he wouldn’t be remembered as that player.

Watching the two Milan vs United games from 2007 was just reminded again what an incredible player he was, and how injury robbed him of another four to five years at the very top.

Should never have gone to Real Madrid.

One of my favourites ever.

Was a virigin until he was married while at Real Madrid.

Got married, form fell of a cliff.

A health reminder for us all to be more like @pedro1976

As well as coming along just before the Messaldo (Ronassi?) era, it probably doesn't help that he was in the generation just before the insane hype over players coming from social media, youtube reels etc.

Still, his pass for Milan's third in the 2005 final. Best I ever saw, they should have just stopped the game then and there in awe of it.

Better than Messi.

I miss the days when Milan were the best team in the world

Haven’t even seen his type of player since tbh. Saw a glimpse of that young Felix lad and he has a similar style (will have to go a long way to be as good) but there’s not been many since.

That Milan team with him and Shevcenko was a thing of beauty, and the moves both made to Real and Chelsea respectively knackered them both in.

Think Shevchenko was past his best when he went to Chelsea. Kaka wasn't, or certainly shouldn't have been when he went to Madrid

Nonetheless, Chelsea was a bit of a graveyard for strikers, with him, Torres and Crespo all going there and largely stinking the place out, despite being fantastic elsewhere.

Torres had kind of lost it before he went there if I remember right

A lot of Abrahamovich vanity projects in amongst the great players they signed.

 

[McBain]

Was OK then went Kaka

 

[Blue Sky]

City try to sign him before Madrid , £40m if I remember correctly , he bottled it coz they wanted to build the team around him .
