I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 159 He Has Left, He Has Been Always

"Juventus, after conceding two goals in a row at the beginning, drew 2-2 away with Deportivo with goals from Birindelli and Nedved."

"Manchester United staged a big comeback in the away game. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who scored a hat-trick in the league last weekend, scored twice to help the team beat Basel 3-1 and break the unbeaten home game of the Swiss champions."

"Kaka passed the shot and made a contribution. AC Milan defeated Real Madrid 2:1. Dortmund in the same group reversed away and defeated Lokomotiv Moscow 2:1..."

...

The fierce confrontation on the field did not affect the friendship between Kaka and Carlos off the field. After the game, he arranged for Carlos and Ronaldo to be entertained. Later, he even called Dida, Junior and other fellow Brazilians.

There are Brazilian players in most football leagues around the world, and there are Brazilian gangs in every football giant. Like the famous Dutch gang, this small group that was originally huddled together for warmth, but gradually developed into a locker room power has mixed reputation. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

The fellow villagers are naturally closer, but Kaka has been in Milan for so long, but he can talk to Rui Costa, Shevchenko, Nesta and others, and he doesn't communicate much with the Brazilian players in the team.

Good food and wine are enough, but Kaka can't control where they go to do multiplayer sports. Anyway, Ronaldo is an old driver and knows Milan better than him, so don't worry about not being able to find the way.

Carlos is an honest man, and he did not participate in Ronaldo's extracurricular activities, but stayed at Kaka's house. The two chatted a lot. Out of high recognition of Kaka, Carlos even encouraged Kaka to join Real Madrid, but Kaka was unmoved, and instead lobbied him to transfer to AC Milan.

Carlos doesn't know, but Kaka knows, if there are no accidents, Kafu will come next year, Carlos on the left, Kafu on the right, tsk tsk... the picture is so beautiful.

Of course, I can only think about it. No matter what the competitive performance and future evaluation are, the current Real Madrid is definitely worthy of the name of green Hollywood, and its attraction to players is top-notch. Of course, Carlos cannot leave for no reason.

……

Five days later, the 12th round of the Italian Serie A began with 6 matches.

Lazio staged a miraculous reversal in the thick fog and completed a magical 6-game winning streak in the away game; Hidetoshi Nakata staged a hat-trick of assists, Adriano and Mutu scored respectively, helping Parma beat Turin in the away game; Inter Milan beat Brescia 4-0 at home and continued to top the list; Juventus drew 1-1 with Roma in this round after their 2-2 draw with Bologna in the previous round.

AC Milan challenged Empoli in an away game. Ancelotti hid most of the main players. Kaka entered the 18-man squad, but did not start.

In the 42nd minute, AC Milan made a cross pass from the left side of the frontcourt. Empoli midfielder Guerrera stole the ball and made a long pass with his left foot over the top in his own half.

Ten minutes later, Ambrosini made a precise diagonal pass from the left to the back point, and Shevchenko headed into the far corner in front of the small penalty area to tie the score for the team.

The game entered a stalemate. Seeing that there was not much time left, Ancelotti successively sent the main players such as Kaka, Pirlo and Rui Costa, but their appearance did not change the final result.

The two sides shook hands 1:1 to make a peace.

Inter Milan has 27 points, Juventus has 25 points, and AC Milan has 24 points. The three parties are very tight. With 22 rounds left in the league and there will be direct dialogue between them, it is hard to say who will have the last laugh.

On December 12rd, the Coppa Italia kicked off, and AC Milan almost all played as substitutes. Kaka was not included in the squad, and he did not watch the game on the day of the game, but returned to Brazil.

Sao Paulo, Morombi Stadium.

In the second round of the 2002 Copa Libertadores final, Sao Paulo, Brazil VS Olympia Asunción, Paraguay.

The two sides drew 2:2 in the first round of the contest. The result of this game will determine who will be the final champion.

But many people's attention is not on the pitch, but in the stands.

Kaka.

Hot man, back.

He was sitting in the stands behind the Sao Paulo bench, among the fans.

The live DJ kept shouting his name.

Kaka had to stand up, waved to all around, ushered in waves of applause from the fans.

The people around kept handing over paper and pens for Kaka to sign, and they didn't stop until the players from both sides entered the field.

Sao Paulo's lineup has not changed much. Not only did they retain most of the main players from last season, but they also used the 2000 million euros brought by Kaka's transfer to reinforce them. Although they did not perform well in the league and domestic cups this season, they made great progress in the Copa Libertadores and successfully entered the finals.

But at the most critical moment, they fell off the chain.

In the 16th minute of the game, Olympia's midfielder Baez scored with a header and took the lead.

In the 301st minute of the game, Olympia striker Cuero broke the net with a long shot, leading the total score 4:2.

At the end of the first half, Sao Paulo was cornered.

Players from both sides entered the locker room, and the Paraguayan fans in the visiting team's stands had already celebrated in advance, and even provoked the home team fans desperately.

The lungs of Sao Paulo fans are about to explode.

"Kaka, why are you leaving? How good are you still on the field?"

"Yeah, if you are here, we will be ahead now."

"Trash Fabiano, rubbish Falcao, incompetent Baptista, look at what they are playing... Hey, Kaka, it seems that the coach is calling you."

Kaka looked down the field in astonishment, only to see that Alvarez, who had just walked into the player tunnel, backed out at some point and was waving at him.

Kaka pointed to himself uncertainly.

Alvarez nodded.

"Alvarez seems to want Kaka to go back to the dressing room with him. It seems that he thinks that the boys in Sao Paulo need to be inspired by role models."

Sao Paulo fans around also agree with the coach's move.

"Yes, Kaka, go kick their asses."

"Kaka, help me tell Fabiano that he played like a dog in this game!"

Alvarez hugged Kaka first, and led him directly into the locker room without saying a word.

Everyone turned their heads and was surprised to see Kaka beside Alvarez.

Almost everyone stood up and wanted to say hello, but after seeing Alvarez's gloomy face, they all chose to remain silent.

"I saw Kaka for the first time almost two years ago, when he was just a substitute for the youth team." Alvarez glanced at his players. "Now, he is a World Cup winner and is playing a key role in the best team in Europe. What about you? You are throwing away the Copa Sudamericana. Do you know why? Because he is full of desire to win, because he wants to win, because he will give his best as long as he is on the field. It is a pity that I did not see this spirit in you. You can only admire and admire his success. But I never thought about why."

After Alvarez finished speaking, he patted Kaka on the shoulder, pushed him to the middle of the locker room, and signaled him to speak.

Kaka turned her head to look, the familiar environment, familiar friends, but already in a completely different state of mind.

"It's a pity that I couldn't fight side by side with everyone, but it's even more regrettable that I didn't see the familiar Sao Paulo team. By the way, the fans asked me to tell you that you played in the first half. I regret it again, and I think so too." Kaka was very rude as soon as he opened his mouth. "We won many championships together. At that time, we were the best team in Brazil, but now...we, or you, are no longer."

"As many of you know, I'm not a genius, Falcao, Fabiano, Baptista, etc., many of you are more talented than me, but now, as the coach said, I am the world champion, and you?"

"I am no longer a member of the Sao Paulo team, and I have no position and qualifications to preach to everyone, but as a Sao Paulo fan and as a friend of many of you, I just want to say that you are really disappointing."

"It's okay to lose. No one can win forever, but losing is not like this."

"I sincerely hope that after the whistle blows, everyone will leave with their heads held high in the applause of the fans whether they win or lose."

After Kaka finished speaking, she looked at Cheney.

The Sao Paulo captain understood, walked up to Kaka, patted him on the shoulder, and looked at his teammates.

"Have you heard? Kaka said that we are not as successful as him. I agree, but he said that we have no desire for victory and that we are cowards. I firmly disagree. Come on, tell him loudly, what do we want?"

"victory!"

"fighting!"

"Fight!"

Baptista even went straight to Kaka, grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently, "Watch with wide eyes, wait and cheer for me, brother, see if I kicked shit."

Falcao also came over.

It can be said that besides Alvarez, Falcao was the most influenced by Kaka in his life trajectory.

Under the influence of Kaka, he not only entered the 11-a-side arena ahead of schedule, but also formed a small team by learning from Kaka. Not only has he quickly adapted to the new competition environment, he has successfully changed his playing style, and he is getting better and better.

He held up his palm and shook Kaka, everything without saying a word.

Cheney holds out his hand, then Baptista, Ricardinho, Reynaldo…

All hands folded together.

"Saint Paul..."

"never give up!"

...

Before the start of the second half, the fans of Sao Paulo were surprised to see that their players had come to the field ahead of time.

Everyone knows that something is different.

At the beginning of the game, the Olympia team thought that they were facing a pack of wolves.

In the minute of the game, Baptista was caught in the corner of the eye by the opponent's hand when he was fighting for the header, but he played immediately after a simple bandage.

In the 6th minute of the game, Fabiano dived to the top. Although he headed the ball into the goal, his shoulder hit the post.

Like a mad dog, Ricardinho kept galloping across the field, stopping the opponent's offensive again and again. In the 609th minute of the game, it was his steal that created a long-range shot opportunity. Although Baptista was tackled to the ground by the opponent before shooting, Sao Paulo won a free kick in a good position.

Falcao made the penalty.

Sao Paulo tied the score.

After the goal, Falcao ran to the sidelines, raised his chin, and raised his hands at the same time, with his index fingers stretched out, pointing to the sky.

The teammates who ran over followed suit and made exactly the same celebration.

I don't know who took the lead, the Sao Paulo fans in the stands also raised their hands and pointed to the sky above the Morombi Stadium.

Countless broadcast sites recorded this shocking scene, and many Sao Paulo fans in front of the TV stupidly made the same gesture.

"The Sao Paulo players and fans celebrated Kaka. Nineteen months, 87 games, six titles, 38 goals, 36 assists... He's gone, he's always been."

Kaka sat on the seat, buried her face in her hands, weeping uncontrollably.

What have I done that deserves to be treated like this by you.

　Kaka's statistics are made up, I'm too lazy to count them slowly, as long as it sounds like that, it's fine.
