The Canarinha international attributed his supposed failure at the Santiago Bernabeu to a marked different role he had to fulfil with Real Madrid as compared to his duties in Milan.

In the aftermath of the result, the former AC Milan and Sao http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 star earned a call-up to Brazilian national team, after failing to make the national team squad previously.
It was the first outing on the lawns of Santiago Bernabeu for Kaka in 2012/13 La Liga season, with the attacking midfielder proving his doubters wrong with his sensational performance.
He used the opportunity to reflect on his supposed poor exhibitions in Real Madrid colours , attributing it to the different formations employed by AC Milan and the Madrid club.
Kaka shared that he thrived while playing behind two central strikers at the San Siro, claiming that it allowed him to fully enforce his creative abilities on the pitch. Contrasting his role at the Bernabeu, he stated that the greater defensive involvement
that he had to fill as he played behind three attackers affected his outings.
 “Milan and Real Madrid play with different formations. In my time at Milan the club played with a 4-3-1-2 formation and I was the player behind the two strikers," he added.
"At Real, I play behind three. There is a greater defensive obligation, but I try to work around the area."
Kaka will come across the young breed of attackers in Brazilian national team following his call-up to the national team. The Ballon d’Or winner shared that he has yet to meet the prodigal Neymar, but admitted that he has followed his performances with La
Canarinha in Europe. 
"I have never met http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neymar-c27639 personally. It will be the first time," he admitted.
"I have been following his performances here in Europe, but I do not know the size of everything that happens to him in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858. 
"I followed a little speculation of him possibly coming to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and that was it. It will be nice to meet him for the first time."
