Kaka Memoirs: As Messi, Ronaldo before the Ballon d 'Or winner, the last generation of young fans

At the 2007 Ballon d 'Or ceremony, Kaka joked that whether Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo wins the Ballon d 'Or in the future, people will remember me because I was the last one to win before they dominated the award. Kaka perfectly predicted the next ten years of world football. At that time, the original helpless joke from his mouth appeared so calm, natural, even with a little blessing. The media said Kaka was the last man on Earth to win the Ballon d 'Or. He was like a comet in the sky, and his short peak left fans in the imagination. This is the story of Kaka, the last chess player of Milan and the last king of Serie A.

Kaka was born in Brasilia, Brazil, on April 22, 1982. Although born in Brazil 40 years ago, Kaka did not grow up poor like Pele, who grew up in a slum. His mother was a teacher and his father an engineer, while Kaka grew up in a wealthy family. Good family circumstances let Kaka form a polite, docile, calm, elegant temperament, so that the character formed from childhood, affect his future in the professional game hero wind. At the age of eight, Kaka joined Sao Paulo, one of Brazil's oldest clubs, and began his football training. Until the age of fifteen, Kaka decided to become a football player.

At the same time, he did not neglect his studies, and his excellent math scores led his father to consider whether he should try to persuade Kaka to give up his football hobby. But Kaka signed a contract with Sao Paulo and helped the club win the Youth Cup in Sao Paulo state. Seeing his football dream closer and closer, but Kaka did not know that an accident almost completely ended his playing career, and also completely changed his religious beliefs. What does it take for a football player with a wealthy family to become a devout Christian?

In October 2000, Kaka hit his head on the bottom of the pool while diving. He went to hospital bleeding and received four stitches. Everything seemed normal. However, two days later in training, Kaka felt dizzy, lumbar and neck pain and was unable to train properly. Sao Paulo doctors found he had a fractured spine and could have been left paralysed. While he was in hospital, his mother took care of him in bed, praying over him with a Bible in her hand. A pessimistic Kaka put his hopes in God and studied the Bible with his mother. Miraculously, Kaka made a full recovery from the broken spine, leaving no residual effects. He attributed the credit to God and Kaka became a devout Catholic.

In 2011, Kaka's impressive performances in Sao Paulo caught the attention of greater Paris, who reached out to the young man. Kaka refused. By 2016, Kaka had become Sao Paulo's main force, and he was invited again. Leonardo, who has also played for Sao Paulo and AC Milan, has been keeping an eye on Kaka's potential and suggested he move to Italy where he could prove himself. With the help of Leonardo, Kaka joined AC Milan in the summer of 2003 for a fee of 8.5 million euros. His performances earned him a place in the first team in a short period of time when Rivaldo was forced to leave and Kaka became a full-fledged attacking partner.

For Kaka, if there is one memorable regret in his career, it is the night in Istanbul in 2005. As the Champions League history of the top two reversal of the war, this game is Kaka heart forever pain. The star-studded Milan conceded the Champions League title after a 3-0 halftime lead and a second-half comeback by Steven Gerrard's Liverpool. It was a great Champions League final, but the greatness was given to his opponent. The commentators were generous in their praise, describing him as brilliant, promising, attacking, brilliant, but years later he was still saying on the programme: 'I still don't understand how we lost that game.' We had the best defence in the world but in the space of six minutes we conceded three goals. Perhaps this is the beauty of competitive football, full of amazement and wonder.

Two years later, a more mature Kaka became Milan's leading man, winning top scorer and Most Valuable Player in the Champions League with 10 goals and three assists. Almost single-handedly delivered a slightly aged Milan to another final. On the way to promotion, Kaka repeatedly saved the team in danger, more than 30 meters long distance attack against Celtic, force C Luo, open to conquer the Old Trafford twice. The final was against old acquaintance Rafa Benitez's Liverpool, and this time Kaka's team-mates did not let it slip, his breakthrough led to the first goal and then another precise pass to seal the win at the top of Europe.

In the same year, Kaka won the Ballon d 'Or and the World Player of the Year in a landslide victory over Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. At that time he is simply chasing the wind running young, she elegant, confident, free and easy. Simple and accurate passing, resolute breakthrough, counterattack, sharp, accurate shooting, dribbling skilled, always pointing to the sky after scoring, running in the wind. If there are many players who could have done that, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect figure with his tall stature, charming smile, gentle toughness and well-spoken character.

Kaka has said he wants to become the second Paolo Maldini and Milan captain and end up as the latter. However, Berlusconi did not give him the chance, Kaka once on the balcony of Milan's home, in front of the fans to retain his 22 rossoneri shirt, to show absolute loyalty to Milan. He moved to Real Madrid, suffered injuries, hit a low ebb, returned to SAN Siro, lost his cool, and moved to America. Kaka's memory faded until December 17, 2017, when he announced his decision to retire. Youth mood has changed, the deepest impression is still the 2007 Champions League final and Bernabeu pay that night, this time, once young can only appear in the memory, but Kaka is still a thank God's gift in the wind with open arms running son of God, immortal in my heart.
