I am Kaka

Chapter 251: Halfway Champion

Milan has had three world footballers in history: Van Basten, Baggio and Rivaldo.

However, when Baggio won the award, he played for Juventus. When Rivaldo won the award, his club was Barcelona. Only Van Basten was crowned while playing for Milan, so Kaka can be regarded as AC Milan's second World Footballer of the Year .

Of course you have to blow it to death.

When the British media and Western media kept fighting for Henry and Zidane, it was rare for the Italian media to collectively support Kaka in unison.

"The second World Footballer in the history of the Milan team, Kaka deserves his name", "The youngest triple crown winner in history, the youngest assist king in Serie A", etc., are all things that can be thought of after reading the title.

Of course, the most weighty evaluation comes from the legends of the past.

Van Basten, who rarely gives interviews, gave Kaka his best praise.

"Kaka is undoubtedly the most imaginative player in AC Milan since Baggio. Of course he deserves to be the World Player of the Year, and he is still young. He even has the ability to change the game of football. Of course, the premise is that he maintains the To be healthy, you must know that some players do better than him at his age, but their careers start to decline quickly, so if he loves football, he should cherish his healthy body and try to prolong his career.”

And even Baggio, who was praised by Van Basten, did not hesitate to appreciate Kaka.

"He brought something different to Milan and to Serie A. I have rarely seen a player with such a variety of styles. I have to congratulate Carlo. He finally met the right person. The player he needed most..."

As for Milan's other World Footballer of the Year, Kaka's current teammate Rivaldo gave Kaka some advice.

"I've said enough good things about Kaka, now I have to give him some advice, say something different, I can see Carlo has high hopes for him, but he should be more confident, he shouldn't always It's the pass, he has the ability to cut inside, the ability to get the ball in front of the goal, the ability to shoot himself, he should be more in front of the 30 meters in front of the goal to take chances... yes, I see in him to be a player The potential of a super shooter, he has this ability, but he has not discovered it, be selfish, he can become a greater superstar."

Kaka saw these words in the newspaper, and didn't just throw them aside.

Of course he wants to be the one who changes the world, so take the advice of his predecessors, stay healthy and... score more goals.

...

When Kaka was still at home in Switzerland, his Milan teammates were participating in the 24th Toyota Cup at the Yokohama International Arena in Japan.

The opponent is the new South American Libertadores Cup winner Boca Juniors.

This year-end and year-end focus battle was broadcast live in 129 countries, and AC Milan participated in the Intercontinental Cup and Toyota Cup for a record seventh time.

Kaka did not make the trip due to the conflict between the date of the World Player of the Year award and the time of the Toyota Cup. Costacurta replaced the injured Nesta in the starting lineup. He and captain Maldini participated in the Toyota Cup for the fifth time. He won the Toyota Cup twice with Milan. These two living fossils of Milan are either creating records or on the way to creating records.

Thomason and Donnett scored successively in the first half, and the two sides drew 1-1 in 90 minutes.

Neither team scored a goal in 30 minutes of extra time, and the game went to a penalty shootout.

Pirlo, Seedorf and Costacurta all missed penalties and Milan lost 2-4.

The plot is exactly the same as the Italian Super Cup, Kaka was absent, entered a penalty shootout, Milan lost, and Ancelotti, who did not bring Rivaldo and Cafu, was inevitably slashed by the media.

...

On December 19, the 13th round of Serie A, which was postponed due to the Toyota Cup, kicked off at San Siro. AC Milan faced Siena at home.

Kaka showed the World Player of the Year trophy to the fans.

There were huge crowds of people inside and outside the San Siro Stadium, and everyone shouted Kaka's name, even the Siena fans who were guests did not hesitate to offer the highest praise to Kaka.

The picture of Kaka standing in the middle of the San Siro Stadium holding up the trophy is destined to become an eternal picture in the history of Milan.

After exchanging for the green horse, Kaka's honor points have become zero. Afterwards, the European Super Cup champion and the best player brought a total of 8 reward points. In October and November, he won the Serie A most honorable points As the best player, another 4 honor points were credited.

The World Footballer's award is 40 points, which is equivalent to a Champions League champion.

So now the honor points on him have become 52 points.

Save first.

It's just that the Golden Globe Award has been determined to miss Kaka.

The final result will not be announced until two days before Christmas, but "French Football" has always had a tradition of shooting promotional photos in advance. Sheva just returned from Japan and the film crew of "French Football" has already come to the door for related shooting.

Although it is supposed to be kept secret, there is no reason for others not to know about such a big commotion in San Siro.

Kaka originally planned to hold a grand appreciation and celebration dinner after winning the award, but after discussing with Sheva, he decided to wait until the time to hold it together, saving time and effort.

The league held in San Siro also became the performance stage of the two footballers. Kaka continued his good form. During the game, he made two passes and two shots, defending the glory of the world footballer with his strength. Scored twice, Milan finally slaughtered the opponent 5-1.

Two days later, in the final round of Serie A before the winter break, Milan played against Udinese.

Shevchenko and Inzaghi started together, but they were both lost. Thomasson, who replaced Sheva, was also out of shape. Milan lost 1-2 and suffered its second defeat of the season.

Milan's goal came from Kaka, who continued to feel hot on his feet. He lobbed and scored after passing four players in a row. He scored in seven consecutive Serie A games, only four games away from Barty's Serie A scoring streak.

Kaka also won the Serie A player of the month in December.

This is the third consecutive month that he has won the best of the month, and he is in such a good state that it is eye-catching.

On the other side of the field, Juventus drew 1-1 with Lecce, 1 point behind AC Milan and 3 points ahead of Inter Milan in the standings.

Milan will enter the winter break with the glory of the half-time champion.

In the early morning of December 23, French Canal+ TV station announced the winners of the 2003 European Footballer of the Year. Ukrainian striker Andriy Shevchenko became the new Golden Globe winner with a slight advantage. Brazilian midfielder Kaka and French striker Henry ranked second. , 3 digits.

Sheva is only 4 points more than Kaka, and Kaka is 36 points more than third place Henry...
