I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 252

Milan has had three world footballers in history: Van Basten, Baggio and Rivaldo.

However, Baggio played for Juventus when he won the award, and Barcelona when Rivaldo won the award. Only Van Basten was crowned while playing for Milan, so Kaka can be regarded as AC Milan's second World Footballer.

Of course you have to blow it to death.

When the British media and Western media kept fighting for Henry and Zidane, it was rare for the Italian media to collectively support Kaka in unison.

"The second World Footballer in the history of the Milan team, Kaka deserves his name", "The youngest triple crown winner in history, the youngest assist king in Serie A", etc., are all things that can be thought of after reading the title.

Of course, the most weighty evaluation comes from the legends of the past.

Van Basten, who rarely gives interviews, gave Kaka his best praise.

"Kaka is undoubtedly the most imaginative player in AC Milan since Baggio. Of course he deserves to be the World Player of the Year, and he is still young. He even has the ability to change football. Of course, the premise is that he must stay healthy. You must know that some players do better than him at his age, but his career will soon begin to decline. So if he loves football, cherish his healthy body and try to prolong his career."

And even Baggio, who was praised by Van Basten, did not hesitate to appreciate Kaka.

"He brought something different to Milan and Serie A. I rarely see a player with such a variety of styles. I have to congratulate Carlo. He finally met the right person and the player he needed the most..."

As for Milan's other World Footballer of the Year, Kaka's current teammate Rivaldo gave Kaka some advice.

"I have already said too much praise for Kaka. Now I have to give him some advice. Say something different. I can see that Carlo has high hopes for him, but he should be more confident. He should not always pass the ball. He has the ability to cut inside, to bring the ball to the goal, to shoot on his own. He should strive for opportunities within 30 meters in front of the goal. Yes, I see in him the potential to become a super shooter. He has this ability, but he has not discovered it. Be selfish. to be a bigger star.”

Kaka saw these words in the newspaper, and didn't just throw them aside.

Of course he wants to be the one who changes the world, so take the advice of his predecessors, stay fit and... score more goals.

……

When Kaka was still at home in Switzerland, his Milan teammates were participating in the 24th Toyota Cup at the Yokohama International Arena in Japan.

The opponent is the new South American Libertadores Cup winner Boca Juniors.

This year-end and year-end focus battle was broadcast live in 129 countries, and AC Milan participated in the Intercontinental Cup and Toyota Cup for a record seventh time.

Kaka did not make the trip due to the conflict between the World Player of the Year award date and the Toyota Cup match time. Costacurta replaced the injured Nesta in the starting lineup. He and captain Paolo Maldini participated in the Toyota Cup for the fifth time. The two of them won the Toyota Cup twice with Milan. These two living fossils of Milan are either setting records or are on the way to create records.

Thomason and Donnett scored successively in the first half, and the two sides drew 90-1 in 1 minutes. Neither team scored in 30 minutes of overtime, and the game entered a penalty shootout.

Pirlo, Seedorf and Costacurta all missed penalties and Milan lost 2-4.

The plot is exactly the same as the Italian Super Cup, Kaka was absent, entered a penalty shootout, Milan lost, and Ancelotti, who did not bring Rivaldo and Cafu, was inevitably slashed by the media.

……

On December 12, the 19th round of Serie A, which was postponed due to the Toyota Cup, kicked off at San Siro. AC Milan faced Siena at home.

Kaka showed the World Player of the Year trophy to the fans.

There were huge crowds of people inside and outside the San Siro Stadium, and everyone shouted Kaka's name. Even the Siena fans who were guests did not hesitate to offer the highest praise to Kaka.

The picture of Kaka standing in the middle of the San Siro Stadium holding up the trophy is destined to become an eternal picture in the history of Milan.

After exchanging the green horse, Kaka's honor points have become zero. The subsequent European Super Cup champion and best player brought a total of 8 reward points. In October and November, he won the best player of the month in Serie A, and another 4 honor points were credited.

The World Footballer's award is 40 points, which is equivalent to a Champions League champion.

So now the honor points on him have become 52 points.

Save first.

It's just that the Golden Globe Award has been determined to miss Kaka.

The final result will not be announced until two days before Christmas, but "French Football" has always had a tradition of shooting promotional photos in advance. Sheva just returned from Japan and the film crew of "French Football" has already come to the door for related shooting.

Although it is supposed to be kept secret, there is no reason for others not to know about such a big commotion in San Siro.

Kaka originally planned to hold a grand appreciation and celebration dinner after winning the award, but after discussing with Sheva, he decided to wait until the time to hold it together, saving time and effort.

The league held at San Siro also became the stage for the two footballers. Kaka continued his good form. In the game, he made two passes and two shots, defending the glory of the World Player of the Year with his strength. Sheva kicked his head and scored twice. Milan finally slaughtered the opponent 5-1.

Two days later, in the final round of Serie A before the winter break, Milan played against Udinese.

Shevchenko and Inzaghi started together, but they were both lost. Thomasson, who replaced Sheva, was also out of shape. Milan lost 1-2 and suffered its second defeat of the season.

Milan's goal came from Kaka, who continued to feel hot on his feet. He lobbed and scored after passing four players in a row. He scored in seven consecutive Serie A games, only four games away from Barty's Serie A scoring streak.

Kaka also won the Serie A player of the month in December.

This is the third consecutive month that he won the best of the month, and he is in such a good state that it is eye-catching.

On the other side of the field, Juventus drew 1-1 with Lecce, 1 point behind AC Milan in the standings and 3 points ahead of Inter Milan.

Milan will enter the winter break with the glory of the half-time championship.

In the early morning of December 12, France's Canal+ TV station announced the winners of the 23 European Footballer of the Year. Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko became the new Golden Globe winner with a slight advantage. Brazilian midfielder Kaka and French striker Henry ranked second and third respectively.

Sheva is only 4 points more than Kaka, and Kaka is 3 points more than No.36 Henry...
