I am Kaka

On February 4, 2001, in the Sao Paulo State League, Sao Paulo played against Santos.

Santos is an outer port city in the state of Sao Paulo, only 75 kilometers away from Sao Paulo, so this is a derby.

Sao Paulo was holding their breath, because they hadn't beaten their opponents for five years.

Kaka, who was amazing in the last game, did not get the chance to start and continued to sit on the bench. On the one hand, he was not fully integrated into the team's tactical system as a rookie, and on the other hand, he had It has been three months without a match and Alvarez is concerned about his form.

Almost exactly like the previous game, Sao Paulo fell behind early on.

Sao Paulo's defense was not good. Santos got a lot of chances in the first half. It is understandable to score one, but Santos' defense is not very good. Sao Paulo's five consecutive shots have not been converted into goals. It's more speechless.

Alvarez glanced at the bench, and the bench players couldn't help puffing out their chests like concubines waiting for the emperor's flop.

"Kaka, Burgess, warm up."

Burgess let out a heartless "?", and immediately got up and ran out, probably forgetting that his team is still behind.

"Kaka is going to play, and with him is Gibbs. This is also a young player who has just been transferred from the Sao Paulo youth team to the first team. Perhaps Kaka's outstanding performance has given Alvarez a taste of the sweetness. He He has become very bold in the use of young people, and I hope this young striker will not disappoint him. Of course, the fans may be more concerned about whether Kaka can perform as well as he did three days ago."

The regional leagues in the traditional sense of each country are the bottom of the national football league pyramid. Simply put, national competitions are better than provincial (state) competitions, but Brazil is the complete opposite. Their state leagues are completely independent. The Football Association is not under the control of the Brazilian Football Association, and the competition system of each state is completely determined by itself, and whether it is in the minds of clubs or fans, the leagues of the respective states are more important than the national leagues.

Although the scope of influence is limited to the state of Sao Paulo, the football market in the state of Sao Paulo alone is already bigger than the Chinese Super League, so this Sao Paulo state league has received a lot of attention. Mind you, everyone is desperate to know if he was lucky to score two goals or if he just had some real skills.

Kaka didn't become very calm just because he had already played once, but he did a good job on the surface, at least he looked much calmer than the impatient Burgess.

"In the 19th minute of the second half, the score was 1-0, and Kaka came off the bench. What a familiar script, I hope Kaka can also contribute a familiar performance."

The Santos team attaches great importance to Kaka, and it is definitely not possible to say that they are facing a big enemy, but it is certainly impossible to expect them to be as frustrated as Botafogo. Had a decent shot.

This is a long pass from the midfield. All Burgess needs to do is stop the ball with his chest, turn around slightly and face the goal. The nearest defender is three bodies away from him. bit.

Unlike the usual frizz, Burgess was still calm when he took the ball on the field. I saw him stop the ball firmly under his feet, flick it forward, and kicked directly to hit the goal.

The football flew into the sky majesticly like a fired shell...

Fabiano on the other side spread his hands. His position just now was actually not bad. If Burgess had been more selfless, the score might have become one to one by now.

The Santos team kicked the goal kick. The goalkeeper did not kick it wide, but passed the ball to the full-back, and then launched an attack through a surprise attack from the wing.

The attack soon came to nothing,

What frustrates them is a beast whose claws have not yet fully grown.

"Baptista's beautiful tackle grabbed the ball for Sao Paulo. I know that many people looked at Kaka immediately like me. Unfortunately, Kaka was closely marked. It was Ochito who came to meet him. Another long ball and this time it's Luiz."

Luis Fabiano jumped up and stopped the ball, and then passed the ball to the top of the penalty area.

There are defensive players on both sides of him, and the shooting angle is not suitable. He originally planned to pass the ball to Burgess, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Kaka who was plugging in at high speed and subconsciously passed the ball.

Kaka made a move to hit the goal, and Santos' defender rushed up to block it. Kaka dunked the ball with his right foot, which turned into a breakthrough. He took a step across and stretched out his foot to block the ball.

Kaka quickly counterattacked, but the opponent had already cleared the ball.

The Sao Paulo team's offense ended without a problem, and the Santos midfielder who was in charge of man-marking Kaka arrived in a hurry at this time.

"What a fake move, is this a talented player from Sao Paulo? My cousin's moves are more realistic than him."

"It's been a long time since Sao Paulo has seen a genius, so that both guys can enter the first team."

Santos coach Lula's heart tightened when he saw Kaka receiving the ball, and he stood up. Even after Kaka was robbed, he didn't relax. Exaggerated, Botafogo was too careless to be beaten like that by a rookie."

Lula stood on the sidelines with her shoulders crossed, her eyes fixed on Kaka, her brows tightly wrinkled.

No coach dares to ignore a player who can score three goals after coming off the bench, even if that player is only two months away from turning nineteen.

"The technique is relatively rough and the organization ability is poor, but the running ability is strong, the mentality is calm, the daring to make moves, and the ability to pass the shot remains to be seen." Not only Lula secretly observed in his heart, but also all the ghosts and snakes in the stands also because of a short After touching the ball, he constantly updated his evaluation of Kaka.

"Poor shooting, failed breakthrough, Alvarez's lad did not show convincing ability, we can't easily judge a player because of one or two games, especially when this player is still mature. In the long run, but it's clear that Burgess and Kaka are still some way away from being true superstars, and Alvarez can't count on his super rookie to turn into a super substitute every time he falls behind. It is necessary to strengthen the tactical arrangement..." Banner TV broadcasted the game, and the commentator was still their head commentator, Yeke Kafu, and Kaka left him a deep impression, so he was very impressed. Kaka also pays special attention.

Kaka gave a thumbs up to Fabiano, who made a good pass, and then returned to defense.

He didn't know that his performance had attracted the attention of countless scouts and fans, but he knew that there must be many people questioning his strength, and he also knew that these doubts would soon dissipate, because...

There is never a flash in the pan in the script of hanging up.
