Kaka’s story of becoming a talent Kaka, a 23-year-old handsome boy, has now become a fanatical idol of AC Milan fans. In the Brazilian national team, he has also become an indispensable important player. In Kaká's heart, being able to help AC Milan and the Brazilian team win as many honors as possible is his biggest dream, and now no one doubts that he is moving towards his dream step by step.
Football genius from a well-off family
Unlike many other stars who came from slums such as Ronaldo and Rivaldo, Kaká was born in Brasilia to a well-off family. Kaka's father is an engineer and his mother is a middle school teacher. Every year they take time out to vacation around.
Kaka has been very fond of playing football since he was a child. His parents also like football, but they set a rule for Kaka, that is, if his grades are not good, he is not allowed to play football. Fortunately, Kaka learned The results are pretty good. But Kaka's parents never dreamed that their son would become a big star.
Rapidly rising football path
Kaká’s football path was very smooth. In 2000, he was selected for the Brazilian youth team and came to play in the famous Sao Paulo club in Brazil. Soon he became the team leader with his outstanding performance. But in 2003, the Sao Paulo club lost the league championship. Team leader Kaká became the target of siege by angry fans. Many fans believe that Kaká is too elegant and woman-like on the court, which results in Sao Paulo's soft style of play.
Soon, the talented Kaka became the target of European giants. Finally, in the summer of 2003, he transferred to AC Milan for 8.5 million euros. In fact, AC Milan executives are also worried about Kaká's ability to adapt to the team. The team has learned a lot from the transfer. But Kaka dazzled everyone with his stunning performance. In his Serie A debut against Ancona, Kaka provided a wonderful assist for Shevchenko. After that, Kaká began his magical performance. He not only pushed Rivaldo and Costa to the bench, but also frequently assisted and scored 10 goals, helping AC Milan win the championship two rounds in advance. In last season's Serie A rating, Kaká's average score was more than 7 points, which was better than the first names of Maradona (6.93 points), Zico (6.74 points) and Platini (6.48 points). The Serie A rating will be high every season.
Brazilian football legend Zico said: "Kaká reminds me of Socrates. He is the biggest discovery of Brazilian football in recent years." Brazilian team coach Pereira said: "He and Adriano It will ensure that the Brazilian team continues to move forward. With Kaka, you can not only win, but also fully experience the fun of football."
A shy boy with a dedicated heart
Same. Compared with Brazilian players such as Romario and Ronaldo who are obsessed with women, Kaka, who is shy by nature, seems to be an alternative to Brazilian football.
In 2002, Kaka was playing an away game on behalf of the Sao Paulo team. At the airport, a crazy fan suddenly broke through the security guard and ran up to Kaka and kissed Kaka crazily. For many Brazilian stars, this seemed to be an opportunity to prove their charm, but unexpectedly Kaka was shocked and screamed for help. When the security took the female fan away, Kaka's face was pale and her legs were shaking.
Many people are surprised that Kaka seems to have no interest in women. In fact, Kaka has a very good girlfriend-Carol. In fact, this is Kaka's second girlfriend. It is reported that his first girlfriend decided to break up because she stayed with Kaka and faced endless autographs, photos and interviews. Therefore, Kaka rarely disclosed relationship issues to the outside world. However, at the end of last year, there were rumors that Italian beauty Fabiani was passionately pursuing Kaka, and Kaka abandoned Carol, but it turned out that this was not true. Kaka said: "I feel very happy now. I like to spend time with Carol, just like other couples in love. But now is not the time to get married."
Now Kaka has I adapted to life in Milan and fell passionately in love with this city and the great AC Milan.
He said: "I like to play golf, eat in Italian restaurants, and travel." In Kaka's mind, winning more honors for AC Milan and the Brazilian team is his biggest wish, but now there is no more One doubts he could do better.
"It takes 50 years for a genius like Kaka to be born. He has set a good example for Brazil's young players." - Brazil coach Pereira
"It is definitely worth buying Kaka. Although we have spent a lot of time on him, he will be the soul of Milan in the future." - AC Milan Club President Silvio Berlusconi
& Unlike many players whose families were poor when they were young, Kaká grew up in an intellectual family and received a good education. He originally wanted to go to college, but he finally chose football as his lifelong career. Kaka's growth path is like the shadow of Brazilian football, with a solid foundation, a complete training system, and a high success rate.
Kaká is one of the few well-educated Brazilian stars. He comes from a middle-class family and has excellent academic performance, especially math talent.
Kaka was born in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, and later moved his family to Sao Paulo, the hometown of football. Kaka has been involved in street football since he was a child. A scout from the Sao Paulo team discovered him and brought him to the youth team. At that time, Kaka did not want to make football a lifelong career. He wanted to study, but the cruelty and reality of football made him give up his studies and devote himself to football.
When Kaka was 13 years old, the Sao Paulo youth team entered the national finals. In the penalty shootout, Kaka Wangdong asked to be the first to take the penalty. He gently kicked the ball out and successfully deceived the opponent. The goalkeeper strengthened coach Cruz's confidence in cultivating this confident and talented little boy.
Cruise was the coach who coached Kaka in the Sao Paulo youth team. When he looked for Kaka's past video tapes and photos, there was a proud smile on his lips. Cruz recalled with a photo: "In the youth league final, we reached the penalty shootout. Kaká walked over to get the ball and asked for the first penalty. Kaká gently kicked the ball It was as if he didn't touch the ball at all, but the goalkeeper rushed to the other side. This is the 13-year-old Kaka, who has no strength but shows his talent. I believe that as long as his physical skills are well trained, he will be able to succeed. I told Leonardo this when he came here to negotiate for Kaka.”
After that, with the help of special funds from Milan, the Sao Paulo team tailored a body for Kaka. Quality and ball skills training plan, in which the physical training work is handed over to the physical coach Tulio. Everyone in Sao Paulo knows that the birth of Kaka is the responsibility of the parents, and the engineer who created the "perfect machine" Kaka was Tulio. Tulio recalled: "Kaká was only 15 years old at the time and had no performance. He was the youngest at the time and the game was not easy. I told his parents at the time, don't worry, he will grow. Now we We must respect the laws of nature. When Kaká turned 17, he had already grown to 1.80 meters. I understood that it was time to start working.”
Tulio helped Kaká grow to 1.8 meters when he was 17 years old. 80 meters, the second step is to gain weight. This training is divided into two steps. The first phase lasts for 1 year, and the second phase lasts for 6 months. Training is three days a week, supplemented by advanced instrument tracking, and also on diet. To control him, he must consume at least 1,500 calories a day and take creatine and protein to help improve muscle strength. "There are restrictions on the creatine we give him. He will take it for 3 months first and then stop for 1 month." month, and then continue for another 3 months. We are accompanying Kaka in this way. His speed, physical flexibility and cardiovascular skills are improving, and all of this is accompanied by the increase in Kaka's physical condition. Sao Paulo is the best player, especially in terms of oxygen absorption, and always recovers energy before others, which is why he can always play the whole game," Tulio said.
The next step is to train Kaka to strengthen his long-range shooting, because this is an important condition for survival in Europe, and requires him to be calm and tenacious. Even before he becomes famous, he is taught how to deal with the media and star-struck fans generously.
In this way, after three years, AC Milan paid 11 million US dollars for this green boutique training center in Sao Paulo. After that, Kaka went to AC Milan as a matter of course.
In 2001, Kaká was named South America's Rookie of the Year. However, not many people in Europe knew about Kaka at the time. It wasn't until he joined AC Milan before the 2003-2004 season that people learned more about Kaka. The initial idea of ??AC Milan was to loan Kaka to a small club for training, but Kaka did not choose such a growth path. He continued to stay in Milan. After only half a season, he became the main player, leaving Rui Costa as the substitute. Rivaldo was forced to leave because he could not play the main team.
It can be said that Rivaldo is the mirror of Kaká’s growth. From a technical perspective, Rivaldo and Kaka are players with completely different styles. According to the Brazilian himself, Rivaldo makes the team think, while Kaká makes the team run.
In Pereira's vision at the time, Kaka was the best candidate to replace Rivaldo in the future. Not long after saying this, Kaká had completely replaced Rivaldo. But for Kaka, he is still young, and Rivaldo's experience in the Brazilian team will surely become the best mirror for Kaka in his growth process. In 1993, Rivaldo made his first appearance in the national team, performed well and scored 1 goal, but was eclipsed in subsequent games. In the end, he was not taken to the World Cup in the United States by Pereira, but chose the younger Ronaldo. . Of course, Kaka has the advantage of being more psychologically stable than Rivaldo back then. Like Ronaldo in 1994, he won the championship in his first World Cup trip. The five-time World Cup experience in Japan and South Korea has not helped him. Small.
Kaka usually wears glasses because he has some difficulty reading, but he has no vision problems on the court. Just a pair of glasses adds to Kaka's bookish temperament.
