I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 524 Dream Start
Not only did Pele cast a great blessing on Argentina, but Dunga also praised Argentina frantically at the press conference.

"In my opinion, this is the best Argentine team in recent years. They have shown amazing form - not individual players, but the whole team. Their performance in the previous game was fantastic. It will be a great game, a unique battle."

Captain Kaka also sang praises for his opponents: "Riquelme and Messi are both at their peak. They are both unique and talented players who can change the course of the game...Real Madrid want to sign Riquelme? I will not comment, but wish them well. Romy is indeed a great player. He deserves the jersey of any team."

Of course, the media couldn't let Kaka go so easily, and almost all questions rushed to him.

"Kaka, what do you think of Messi? You are all winners of the Golden Boy Award and became famous in the World Youth Championship. Many people say that Messi is walking on the road you once walked. Do you agree with this?"

"No, Messi is unique, he will not be the second Kaka, he will only be the best Messi."

"Messi said you are his favorite player, how about you? Do you have the same opinion?"

"Don't lie to me, Messi's favorite player is Aimar, I know this..."

"Kaka, we all know that your performance in this America's Cup is fantastic, but your style has changed a lot. Can you know the reason?"

"This is the tactic we discussed. Many people are too familiar with me. I have to make some changes to make myself go further."

"Sorry, Kaka, I still want to ask about Messi, what do you think of his performance in this Copa America?"

"To be honest, I haven't watched Argentina's game in this America's Cup. Most of my understanding of Messi is through media reports. If I have any impression of him...in fact, I am quite envious of him."

"Oh?" The Argentine reporter's eyes lit up, "Can you tell me more about it?"

"I remember it was said in an Argentine newspaper that Messi likes to play football games very much, but because Carlos Tevez, who lives with him, is a music madman and always plays all kinds of explosive music in the room, Messi was forced to move the game console to the hotel lobby to play until midnight. Is there such a thing?"

A reporter immediately raised his hand, "Yes, there is such a thing, I reported it, and I swear, everything is true."

"Coincidentally, I am also a fan of football games, but our coach has a rule that players cannot bring game consoles when they go out, because it will affect their eyesight and rest. Who knows how I got here these days, so... I really envy Messi."

The building was a bit crooked, and the Brazilian reporter immediately snapped back, "There are rumors that Abramovich is very interested in Messi and Robinho. Is it true?"

"Sorry I haven't heard anything but I definitely welcome Messi and Robinho to Stamford Bridge..."

[Forget about Robinho, if Messi can come... to win another seven championships? 】

Neither Kaka's family nor Dilia accompanied him in this America's Cup, but they all rushed over after the decisive battle.

July 7, Maracaibo, Venezuela.

"Are you ready? The most important game of this summer is about to start. The Copa America crown is just an embellishment, and the grievance between Brazil and Argentina is the key. In the boiling air of the tropical city of Maracaibo, in the almost crazy enthusiasm of the entire American continent, this pair of century-old enemies on the court will contribute a game that is bound to make us breathless. Regardless of the final result, this summer will be different because of this game.

In the Copa America in Peru three years ago, Argentina and Brazil also met in the final. In the end, Brazil relied on Adriano’s magical kick in stoppage time to climb back from the cliff, and finally won the penalty shootout and won his seventh Copa America trophy.

Three years later, the enemies reunited. The Argentine vowed to take revenge, to prove that what he had lost would be regained by himself, while the Brazilian firmly believed that history would repeat itself, just like central defender Juan said: "They are the favorites, we are the champions, it was like this three years ago, and it will still be the same after three years." '"

"This is bound to be a passionate game.

Did Messi use a victory to end Argentina's 14-year absence of a championship, and use a championship to establish his new king status in the Argentine national team?
Or will Kaka make persistent efforts after becoming the top scorer in a single America's Cup, win the eighth championship of this season to complete the Grand Slam of his career, and create the craziest legend in football history?
In every cup competition, there is only one name that can be remembered in the end-the name of the champion. Sometimes our memory is so utilitarian.But in any case, that is something that belongs to the future. Now, all we have to do is to wait quietly for the arrival of this peak matchup. "

"Let's look at the starting XIs for both sides.

The Brazilian team has undergone drastic reforms. Although only Alves replaced Diego in the starting lineup, the formation has changed.

Goalkeeper: Dhoni;
Defenders: Maicon, Lucio, Juan, Melo;
Midfielders: Baptista, Gilberto Silva;
Attacking midfield: Robinho, Kaka, Alves;
Single striker: Love.

Alves was put on the right avant-garde, Robinho played on the left, and Kaka was dispatched in the center. This is a 4-5-1 formation. "

"Argentina's setup is almost exactly the same as it was in the semi-final.

Goalkeeper: 1-Abang Dan Shirley;
Defender: 6-Heinze, 15-Gabby Milito, 2-Ayala, 8-Zanetti;
Midfield: 19- Cambiasso, 14- Mascherano, 20- Veron, 10- Riquelme;

Forwards: 11-Tevez, 18-Messi.

This is exactly a 4-2-2-2 formation, is it familiar?That's right, double attacking midfielders, double defensive midfielders, and double strikers. This is the most magical formation this summer. Veron and Riquelme are both magnetic midfielders with magnetic feet, while Cambiasso and Mascherano are strong intercepting midfielders. If they cannot intercept the Brazilian offensive line led by Kaka, then the Brazilian team will also have a lot to do in the World Cup three years later. "

Kaka raised his hand, originally wanting to pat Messi on the head, but suddenly remembered that Sisi didn't like others to pat his head condescendingly, so he quickly patted his shoulder instead.

Messi's eyes drooped and he looked at the ground as if in a daze. He was startled by the palms on his shoulders, and he smiled shyly after seeing Kaka.

"What are you dazed about?"

Messi touched his nose embarrassingly, "A little nervous."

"Just get used to it."

"Aren't you nervous at all?"

Kaka moved closer, stretched out his hand to block it, and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's a little bit."

Team Sa and brother Ma came over together and gave Kaka a high five.

"Kaka, I have some unfortunate news for you. The two of us will be responsible for defending you in this game."

"Really?" Kaka laughed, "It seems that it will be a bit difficult for me to be the top scorer in the history of the America's Cup this year."

The two looked at each other, speechless.

The individual goal record in a single session of the Copa America is 9, which has been broken by Kaka. The top scorer in history has scored 17 goals. Kaka currently has 12 goals. If he wants to catch up with this record, he will have to score five goals in this game.

So of course he was joking, but neither of them could laugh.

"The two teams have met in the Copa America final nine times before, and Argentina has achieved eight wins and one loss. In terms of the total number of championships, Argentina also leads Brazil 14 to 7, but since 1993, the Argentine team has never won a major championship.

Brazil has won three World Cups, three Copa Americas and two Confederations Cups in the past 14 years. In the 3 America's Cup final, the Brazilian team was equalized by Adelaide at the last moment and defeated Argentina in a penalty shootout.

This is a gold-level showdown.

Not only is it a Gold Cup battle between Brazil and Argentina, but also Kaka and Riquelme for the best player.

Although the current public opinion overwhelmingly believes that Argentina will sweep Brazil, the Copa America system is a penalty shootout after 90 minutes. As long as the Brazilian team survives 90 minutes, they can usher in a penalty shootout as they wish.Since the 1994 World Cup final, Brazil has won 7 of the last 6 penalty shoot-outs. After Argentina lost to Brazil in the 2004 Copa America final, they lost to Germany in the quarter-finals of the World Cup last year.

Does the light of America's Gold Cup favor samba, or does it shine between blue and white?Nine ten minutes later there will be an answer. "

Pele, Maradona, Blatter, Platini and others all arrived at the scene, but after finishing the national anthem, Kaka only waved to where his family was.

Digan didn't come, Simone, Bosco and Delia sat together in the stands.

Kaka felt very excited, not only because the person he cared about the most was watching the game, but also because he had been playing health-preserving football for the first few games for this game, and now it was finally time to explode.

"The Argentine team kicked off, Messi passed to Riquelme, Riquelme got rid of it on the spot, beautifully pulled the ball, Love was tricked..."

As soon as the Argentine applauded his maestro, Kaka rushed over.

Riquelme saw Kaka, but did not immediately play the ball, but continued to control the ball at his feet and faced it head-on.

Kaka pointed to Messi, signaling Baptista, who was about to come up to help, to guard him, and killed Riquelme himself.

Riquelme's in-situ ball control is a must, and forward advancement is his weakness. Although Kaka barely protects the ball under close pressure, he can't get rid of it at all, so he can only pass the ball.

Kaka did not stay in the midfield and immediately pressed forward.

Mascherano immediately followed suit and became a bodyguard.

The football was cut off by Gilberto Silva at the front of Brazil's penalty area and immediately given to Maicon.

Maicon unexpectedly knocked the ball back across the middle, and Lucio came up and slanted his foot back to the right.

Alves receives the ball.

"Both Alves and Maicon are the best right backs in this Copa America. In order to let them play at the same time, Dunga unexpectedly placed Alves in front of Maicon. Now let's see the effect..."

Alves definitely has the strength to play a full-back, and he doesn't need any adaptation at all. After taking the ball, he immediately stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and rushed forward.

This sidewalk belongs to Brazil today.

Kaka still walked slowly, like taking a walk.

After playing for more than half a month, everyone was familiar with his style and didn't pay much attention to it. Javier Mascherano didn't dare to relax at all. Even the more leisurely Kaka behaved, the more nervous he became.

"Javier, relax, just train like usual."

"..."

Kaka obviously had good intentions, and Doni Mascherano was immediately brought back some disgraceful memories.

Chelsea's training match was a game called "Who was tortured the worst by Kaka"...

Alves has come to the ribs of the penalty area, blocked by Cambiasso and Zanetti together, and can only pass back to Maicon who is following behind.

Maicon looked towards the penalty area, took two steps back, and prepared to make a run-up long pass.

Robinho slanted into the penalty area from the other side, and Love also outflanked the goal.

Maicon lowered his high-raised foot lightly, flicked his ankle, and knocked the ball toward the center.

"Kaka's back to Mascherano... It's a wonderful back-to-back pick. I haven't seen Kaka's extraordinary move for a long time. Mascherano didn't show mercy just because Kaka was a club teammate, but he couldn't stop Kaka with his hands and feet..."

Kaka charged in the middle, and Ayala immediately came out of the penalty area and shoveled head-on.

Kaka paused briefly to let him pass, but the stop allowed Mascherano to find a chance, slide the tackle around the front, and put Kaka to the ground.

A sharp whistle sounded.

"Javier Mascherano stopped Kaka with a fierce defensive action, and received a yellow card just 2 minutes into the game. It cannot be said that he is unwise, but it does make Chelsea fans a little bit unacceptable."

Mascherano put Kakara up.

"Be careful, Kaka, I won't be polite."

"Me too," Kaka patted his butt and lightly thumped his chest, "You're messing with me, Javier."

"...Is it too late for me to apologize now?"

"Hehe, what do you say?"

The Brazilian team won the first free kick in the game, about 28 meters away from the goal, directly facing the goal.

The distance is a little bit far, but he can play left, center and right. Abundan is facing tremendous pressure.

Mascherano was a wall, but he still looked back to the penalty area uneasy, reminding his teammates to pay attention to defense.

Everyone only remembers Kaka's free kick to score, but few people noticed that this guy also used free kicks to assist a lot, and the success rate was frighteningly high.

Kaka was originally standing behind the football on the left, but after the referee blew his whistle, he suddenly moved slightly to the right and came directly behind the football.

Then run up and bombard the door heavily.

The football drew an exaggerated S shape, passed over the wall, and quickly turned to the upper left corner of the goal.

Abundan was still on guard, but when he saw the ball, he sighed in resignation, lowered his hands, and watched the football fly into the net.

1-0.
