I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 173 39 Seconds

After finishing his business activities in the United States, Kaka simply took a few days of vacation there, and then returned to the city of Milan.

There are no major transfers in Serie A during this winter break. The only one that has aroused heated discussions is Batistuta's loan from Rome to Inter Milan.

On January [-]th, all the team members returned to the team, and the first thing to do was of course the physical examination of all members.

Although he has only been away for about two weeks, there are still a lot of chubby guys on the team.

Ancelotti whispered to the assistant coach with the medical report, shook his head and nodded, and pointed out the people who needed more training.

AC Milan's journey in the UEFA Champions League and Coppa Italia this season is considered smooth, but the league has been suppressed by Inter Milan and Juventus. The club's top management and fans are very dissatisfied, and the pressure on the coaching staff is still great.

Before the start of the league, AC Milan had a warm-up match with the Al Ittihad club from Arabia.

Kaka started the game, but his performance was mediocre. He was replaced by Ambrosini at the beginning of the second half.

Rui Costa showed a good state, not only staged a hat-trick of assists, but also scored a goal, but the team's defense had many problems, and the goal guarded by Dida was penetrated by the opponent twice.

Although the team won [-] to [-], the fans were very dissatisfied. Naturally, the reporters could not let this opportunity pass and criticized the Rossoneri.

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Serie A's strongest line of defense was breached twice by the Arabs. After returning from vacation, the Milan defenders were all weak, and the attack in the frontcourt was lackluster. If Rui Costa hadn't performed well, they would have lost to the Ittihad team at home. Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation is no longer magical. Such AC Milan will compete with Juventus and Inter Milan for the league title."

"L'Equipe": The young Kaka still has a lot to learn. Rui Costa is the best example. While the Portuguese is giving assists to his teammates again and again, the young Brazilian is obsessed with dribbling and breaking through. What AC Milan needs are players like Ronaldo and Rivaldo, not players like Denilson who can only dribble over others. Kaka must make a change...

"Turin Sports Daily": Kaka only sent four passes in 10 minutes of the game, but completed [-] dribbles. I admit that his breakthrough was beautiful, but you can't rely on breakthroughs to win. You must know that the second goal of the Arabs was caused by Kaka's failure to break through. Kaka before Christmas and Kaka after Christmas are very different.

"Corriere dello Sport": Rui Costa made three passes and one shot, Shevchenko scored twice, Inzaghi sealed the victory, AC Milan's frontcourt attack, only Kaka was mediocre, look at what they did during the holidays, when Shevchenko was training hard in the ice and snow in Ukraine to maintain his form, Kaka was enjoying the most beautiful sunshine in the world on the beach in Rio de Janeiro...

As if premeditated, almost all the media began to make a fuss about Kaka.

Who told him that he was indeed the worst performer in the warm-up match.

But although the media kept making troubles, Kaka still entered the No.16 league squad.

On January [-], Bologna played against AC Milan at home.

As the first game of the New Year, both sides paid great attention to it. The nearly [-] seats in the Lala Stadium, which had been quiet for a long time, were all full. The stands were full of fireworks, and shouts continued. As the players came out, all kinds of applause and screams went straight to the sky, making the players a little impatient.

The sun is shining in Bologna, but the weather is still very cold, and there is still snow around the stadium. Bologna's captain Pagliuca, like Butters and Berti, usually likes to wear short-sleeved jerseys, but now they have changed to long sleeves.

"Viewers and friends, welcome to the first Serie A game after the new year. Bologna is a veritable home dragon this season. All their victories in the league have been won at the Renato Dallara Stadium. Both Roma and Parma have failed here. Ancelotti dare not be careless. Dida is the goalkeeper. The back line is Karadze, Simic, Nesta, Maldini, and the midfield is Gattuso, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Kaka and Rui Costa, Shevchenko Playing as a lone striker, Seedorf, Inzaghi and Thomasson are on the bench."

"The last time Bologna and AC Milan played against each other after the winter break was 68 years ago. In that game, Bologna beat AC Milan 6-3. Let's take a look at their starting lineup. The main midfielder, Nervo, was suspended. Captain Signori, who has not fully recovered, served as a substitute... Kaka!"

Shevchenko kicked off, Kaka passed back to Rui Costa, Rui Costa passed to Pirlo, Pirlo just wanted to continue the back pass, suddenly heard Kaka's shout, and quickly passed the ball.

At the beginning of the game, the midfielder was the most densely populated, but Pirlo's pass managed to avoid all interceptions and came to Kaka's feet.

Kaka received the ball sideways, leaned on Bologna midfielder Bellucci and turned around, then circled Ramati and advanced along the middle.

Castellini rushed over, and Kaka tricked him with a simple Matthews feint, then passed the ball to Rui Costa, and rushed into the penalty area himself.

Rui Costa flicked the ball lightly and passed it to Shevchenko.

Shevchenko jumped high and gave the ball to Kaka.

Kaka picked up the ball with his back to the goal. The defender just wanted to knock him down, but Kaka had already circled to the side to avoid it.

The football flew over the heads of the two and fell in front of Kaka.

Pagliuca rushed to attack, ready to pounce on the place where the football fell.

But Kaka turned around again, blocked him behind him, lightly unloaded the ball with his foot, and then suddenly knocked his heel.

Pagliuca was half a beat too late, it was too late to get his legs together, the football passed between his feet and rolled into the goal.

1: 0.

"GOAL!! Kaka! Kaka! He countered everyone's doubts with his outstanding performance!"

"Honestly, when Kaka blocked Pagliuca behind me, I thought he was going to shoot with a barb, but he chose a more risky way. The statistics came out. It took 39 seconds from the kick-off to the time when the ball rolled across the goal line. Unfortunately, this is not the fastest goal in Serie A. The fastest goal in Serie A was scored by Piacenza striker Poggi in the match between Frosa and Piacenza last year. Compared with this goal by Card."

　It is my fault that I played 10 minutes in the first game and was replaced in the second half, but it is too troublesome to contact the editor to change the article, everyone knows it, sorry, sorry
