I am Kaka

On December 22, 2002, in the 15th round of the 2002-2003 Serie A, AC Milan played against Brescia at home.

The focus of the media hype in this game was that Baggio and Pirlo played against their old clubs respectively, but some people also paid attention to the first time Kaka and Baggio competed on the same stage.

These should be the two people with the most delicate ball control in Serie A, but one is a rookie and the other is an old demon.

Baggio seems to be very concerned about Kaka, and after reminiscing with Pirlo in the player tunnel, he came to Kaka to get to know him.

It's a pity that Kaka couldn't meet Guardiola. The big guy came to Brescia last season and only played eleven games before leaving for Roma. However, he will return to Brescia after playing four games on behalf of Roma. , now happens to be his time in Rome.

I don't know if it is to welcome the coming Christmas, Ancelotti once again arranged the Christmas tree formation.

Goalkeeper Dida, defenders Simic, Nesta, Maldini, Karadze, Gattuso returned from injury, formed a three-man midfielder with Pirlo and Seedorf, Kaka and Rui Costa sat in the frontcourt, Shevchenko single striker.

At the beginning of the game, AC Milan served first. However, due to the fans setting off fireworks, the visibility in the stadium was very low. The two sides played a little cautiously.

In the 6th minute of the game, Baggio took a corner kick from the left, and the AC Milan defender made a dirty clearance. The comeback Brazilian midfielder Matuzaren volleyed wide of the goal from outside the penalty area.

In the 10th minute of the game, Appiah fell to the ground in a collision with Simic, and Brescia got a free kick in the frontcourt.

Baggio stood in front of the penalty spot.

Pirlo is very familiar with Baggio's free kick, and ran to Dida to remind him how to stand.

I don't know if his reminder played a role. Baggio's free kick bypassed the wall, but flew directly into Dida's arms.

Dida threw the ball to Maldini, and the Cavaliers dribbled the ball from the side and cooperated with Pirlo to advance, but Pirlo was knocked to the ground by his former teammate when he received the ball.

The Milan midfielder was a little annoyed, but the referee didn't say anything, and the fans booed harshly.

The game continued, Kaka and Baggio lived up to the expectations of the fans and contributed many wonderful performances.

Baggio's breakthrough was not known for his explosive power. Now that his physical condition is in decline, it is even more impossible to have the kind of long-distance drive in the same way, but his skills are getting worse with age, and his small-scale escape is amazing.

Kaka is undoubtedly much more comprehensive. He can not only protect the ball gracefully in heavy siege, but also launch a long-distance attack with great momentum.

In the 14th minute, Appiah made a direct pass, and after getting the ball, Baggio passed through Gattuso and sent an exquisite through ball.

Tal stopped the ball with his right foot, turned around and adjusted the ball to his left foot, and volleyed hard.

The ball went wide of the left post, but Nesta tackled his ankle after his shot, and the referee again awarded Brescia a free kick.

Baggio once again stood in front of football.

Facing such a master of free kicks, Dida didn't dare to be careless. Kaka took the initiative to run into the wall, just to observe Baggio's free kicks up close.

He has watched the video many times, and has carefully studied Baggio's free kick kick with his two technical coaches, but he certainly has not observed it directly.

Baggio's free kick obviously paid more attention to the route, with very little run-up, just three or four steps. After the football was kicked, it flew directly around the wall and flew towards the goal.

Kaka jumped up and failed to block the football, so he turned around quickly, just in time to see the football flying into the dead corner of the goal.

"GOAL!!! Roberto Baggio scored a free kick! This is the 301st goal of his career! He is a living legend!"

After scoring the goal, Baggio smiled and ran to the sidelines, putting his right hand next to his ear.

All the fans stood up and gave warm applause to this venerable legend.

This is a player who joined AC Milan and then switched to Inter Milan. Although he did not transfer directly from AC Milan,

But according to the habits of fans, a Judas hat cannot be taken off.

But Baggio happened to be an accident.

It seems that as much as head coaches like Sacchi and Lippi hate him, fans love him as much.

"Life is like a dream, Milan is like a poem, and Baggio is the elf dancing in this poem and dream."

The years in Milan may be a sad past for Baggio. He had dreams and brilliance here, as well as underappreciated talents and unrewarded ambitions. But for the fans, the encounter with Baggio is more like a short-lived love.

No complaints or regrets.

The game restarts.

In the 27th minute, AC Milan continued to cooperate cleverly. Costa received a heel pass from his partner and made a cross from the left. Shevchenko shot from the outside of the front post and the defender kicked the ball out of the baseline.

In the 28th minute, Kaladze was given a yellow card for a foul on Tal. The Brescia players were very dissatisfied, and Tal was carried off for treatment.

In the 29th minute, Kaka made a pass, and Shevchenko dribbled the ball horizontally after stopping the ball, and lobbed with his left foot 16 meters away. Sereni flew and missed the ball, but the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 34th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball and was brought down. Pirlo took a free kick from the left side and shot directly from a small angle. The football hit the outside of the near post and popped out of bounds.

In the 36th minute, Baggio made a long pass from the right side of the midfielder. Baggio unloaded the ball from his chest at the front of the penalty area. The ball is blocked and Nesta makes a clearance with his left foot.

At the end of the first half, AC Milan trailed 0:1.

After the start of the second half, AC Milan suppressed the opponent's attack, but facing Brescia's intensive defense, there were not many opportunities in front of the goal.

In the 66th minute, Kaka took a free kick from the right, and Shevchenko's header went wide of the right post.

In the 71st minute, Serizzi tackled Shevchenko and was given a yellow card. Kaka's free kick went over the crossbar.

Time was running out, Ancelotti replaced Gattuso with Redondo, Seedorf with Inzaghi, Milan changed to 442.

In the 75th minute, Appiah made a direct pass. Baggio shot with his right foot 14 meters in front of the goal, but the ball was not strong. Dida hugged the ball and immediately passed it to Redondo.

Prince Pampas and Maldini played two-for-one to throw off the defensive player and pass Kaka with his heel in seconds.

Kaka dribbled the ball in the middle, and dodged cleverly in the face of the double-teaming of the three defensive players. His left and right feet pulled the buckle to break through, and sent a clever through pass to the two forwards.

Inzaghi arrived swiftly and made a cross before the goalkeeper made a save, and Shevchenko pushed into the net.

1:1.

Sheva did not celebrate after scoring, but ran into the goal and hugged the football out.

Brescia, who led most of the game, was also very dissatisfied with being tied at the last moment of the game, and quickly took the ball.

Both sides tried their best.

In the 80th minute, Maldini blocked the opponent's counterattack and received a yellow card. Baggio's free kick was destroyed by Nesta.

In the 82nd minute, Kaka played a world wave after dribbling the ball, and the football hit the defender and was blocked.

In the 86th minute, Baggio got a one-handed chance in front of the goal, but the exhausted Italian failed to seize the golden opportunity and was kicked out of the sideline by Nesta, who came from behind.

Until the end of the game, both sides failed to change the score on the court, and shook hands one to one to make a draw.

AC Milan has not defeated Brescia in San Siro for 5 consecutive seasons, entering the winter break with the third place in the league.

Kaka exchanged jerseys with Baggio after the game and watched him leave the field.

Looking at the back of this figure that has touched countless people, the lofty aspirations that had been inspired by Ronaldo a few days ago were suddenly replaced by sentimentality.

Well, football, the first second can make people passionate, the second second can make people sad, it's so normal.

Costa seemed to see that something was wrong with Kaka, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What's wrong?"

Kaka nodded at Baggio, who was walking towards Inzaghi, and said, "My idol."

"Oh?" Costa said, "How does it feel to compete with your idol?"

"It's a pity."

"What are you sorry about?"

"I didn't meet the best him."

"Baggio's life... is actually quite regrettable."

"Regret life, perfect life."
