Kaka was one of the most graceful players the game has ever seen. But alongside that grace came trophies, he wasn’t just graceful he was effective too.
This is the story of Ricardo Kaka; a life-changing accident, a devotion to god and a trophy-laden time in Europe.

I'm pretty sure this is nostalgia talking but Brazilian players in the 90s/00s just seemed ro be a complete diffrent breed from everyone else.

In 94 Brazil lost their CB pairing, had to use their reserve choices and still won. They lost 7-1 to Germany and had only lost Neymar to injury at that point. Pretty sure it's not nostalgia.

As a Brazilian I think the same. Before, we used to have lots of players that could go to basically any team and be the main star, now we still produce a lot of stars, but not the main guys anymore.

@leonardoaugusto5159 2 жыл бұрын

It's not nostalgia. As a Brazilian, it was a time that Brazil produced so many high quality number 9s and 10s that Europe never recognized as stars or never had a big break through with the national team. Number 9s - Edilson, Edmundo, Tulio, Washigton, to name a few Number 10s - Juninho was amazing at Lyon, but was never a national team star, never played for a huge club in Europe, and it was the best freekicker taker in history. Marcelinho, the same skill level at freekicks then Juninho. Alex (made history at Fenerbahce). What he did in Brazil in 2003 was ridiculous, his was the best player of the world that year, and i'm a fan of the main rival of the club he was at the time. Brazilians were a different class until mid 00s.

I always thought that Kaka's performance against United was over-stated. Yes, he was good that night, but Evra put in one of the worst defensive performances I've ever seen at Old Trafford. It was as bad as, if not worse than any of Maguire's shambolic performances. It's similar to when Ronaldo Nazario scored a hat trick. He was decent but that clown Barthez practically scored the goals for him.

@@rohithraman6488 Heinze was CB that night dumbo. Evra was LB. Clearly you didn't watch that game and presumably too lazy to even look up the highlights where Evra near-enough karate kicks your boy Heinze to gift Kaka his second goal. If only there was a way you could have checked the facts before you commented. If only there was something that could allow users to easily type in "Manchester United v AC Milan lineups" on their computers or on their phones - but to my knowledge no such technology exists. If it did exist then I'd call it something like "the internet" and term I'd suggest for searching would be something playful like "google search". But I very much doubt it will be invented, not in our lifetimes, that's for sure.

A player who can win the Baloon d'Or against Ronaldo and Messi is necessarily outstanding. Brazil is missing a player like him in the midfield until today. It was expected Coutinho can do this function but Kaka was pretty over average. Coutinho his best will never reach the level of Kaka. Today Paqueta from Lyon is the best option for that position. About the national team, Brazil has a good team but a world-class player like Kaka should have a place among the 11 starters.

He could produce finessed shots from long ranges. His passes were incredible too. I miss a player like him so much.

One of my childhood heroes it's a shame I somehow lost my AC Milan shirt with his name on it and the legendary number #22. He played with such grace and confidence. Unlike the other brazilian legends he wasn't a poor kid who played on the streets. He was that very rich kid who played with such humbleness. As they mentioned, his playstyle looks european, somehow. In contrast to the other brazilian players Kaka's comemorations were never about his greatness but rather thanking god and his teammates. That goal against Man U is so incredible and it simply illustrates how good he was.

I grew up watching him. In his prime he was an extra terrestrial.

I'll never forget Kaka's goal againts M.United. That was for me a perfect display of his abillities. Strenght, Speed, Control, Finesse. Kaka in his prime was something else.
