I am Kaka

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 7th, 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 played the first 90 minutes, 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. The goal guarded by Dida was penetrated by the opponent twice .

Although the team won 4 to 2, the fans were very dissatisfied. Naturally, the reporters could not let this opportunity pass and criticized the Rossoneri.

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "The most solid defense in Serie A was breached twice by the Arabs. The Milan defenders were all soft after returning from vacation, and the frontcourt offense was also lackluster. If it wasn't for Rui Costa's outstanding performance, they would even lose at home. For the Etihad team, Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation is no longer magical, so what can AC Milan do to 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. When the Portuguese provided assists for his teammates again and again, the Brazilian was obsessed with dribbling and breaking through. AC Milan What is needed are players like Ronaldo and Rivaldo, not players like Denilson who can only dribble, Kaka must make changes...

"Turin Sports News": Kaka only sent four passes in the 50-minute game, but completed 11 dribbles. I admit that his breakthrough is beautiful, but you can't rely on breakthroughs to win You know, the Arabs' second goal was caused by Kaka's failure to break through. Kaka before Christmas and Kaka after Christmas are completely 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's performance was mediocre, look at their performance during the holiday Let’s do it here, when Shevchenko is training hard in the snow and ice of Ukraine to maintain his form, Kaka is 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 squad for the sixteenth round of the league.

On January 12, Bologna played against AC Milan at home.

As the first game of the new year, both sides attach great importance to it. The nearly 40,000 seats in the Lala Stadium, which has been quiet for a long time, are all full. The stands are full of fireworks and shouts. The 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 into long-sleeved jerseys .

"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 achieved at the Renato Dallara Stadium, whether it is Rome or Parma. It's all here for somersaults,

Ancelotti didn't dare to be careless, Dida was the goalkeeper, Caladze, Simic, Nesta, Maldini were lined up in the back line, and Gattuso, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Cardini were in the midfield. Card and Rui Costa, Shevchenko played a single striker, Seedorf, Inzaghi and Thomason sat on the bench. "

"The last time Bologna and AC Milan met 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 midfielder Nervo is suspended. , Captain Signori, who has not yet 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.

10.

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

"Honestly, when Kaka put Pagliuca behind me, I thought he was going to shoot with a barb, but he took a more risky approach and the stats came out, from kick-off to when the ball rolled across the goal line. It took thirty-nine seconds. Unfortunately, this is not the fastest goal record in Serie A. The fastest goal record in Serie A was scored by Piacenza striker Poggi in the match between Folossa and Piacenza last year. Yes, it took only 8.9 seconds, but that goal in the counter attack is nothing compared to Kaka's goal in terms of splendor."
