After experiencing a rough patch at the Santiago Bernabeu, the man who inspired AC Milan to their seventh European triumph is back and there is a good reason to believe that the iconic footballer is not over yet.
Kaka, a footballer who has become a household name for viewers all over the world, was once seen as one of the greatest talents to step on the pitch. After all, it is not an easy http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 to outclass other players when competition is on the rise.
Yet, the Brazilian international saw it all as success kissed his feet while he represented AC Milan. During Kaka’s stay with the Rossoneri, the Italian giants were able to dominate at home and abroad. Such was the impact of the playmaker, who could single-handedly
turn a game on its head.
Not only was the footballer known for his ability to prove instrumental, his style of play was also a marvellous sight for those who savour the beautiful game.
Establishing a reputation, achieving glory in the UEFA Champions League, providing beautiful assists, scoring outstanding goals and winning the Ballon d’Or, Kaka had it all.
Hence, while looking back at an illustrious career in football, one is forced to wonder one and only one thing. What went wrong?
Although many believed it to be a giant leap in the career of the veteran athlete, moving to Real Madrid brought forth a dark period in the vocation of the prolific midfielder.
The year 2009 saw Kaka move from San Siro to the Santiago Bernabeu for an amount which was dubbed him as the most expensive player of all time at that point of time. Although http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 soon overlapped the Brazilian in terms of expense, he was expected
to do great things in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 in his own right.
However, despite what many had predicted, the footballer could not make the impact he would have hoped for. Problems with his long standing left-knee constrained the maestro from showing his magic and therefore he was sidelined for an extended period of
time.
This was his first long absence from the Madrid squad which was soon followed by the lliotibial band syndrome which he suffered later on.
Although Kaka was constantly dealing with injury-related problems, he did manage to show mere glimpses of what he was capable of doing.
However, to the dismay of his fans all over the world the player could only put up such performance on an inconsistent basis.
Hence, it was not difficult to observe that the 30-year-old kept falling lower in the picking order at the Spanish-capital based football club. Soon enough, the attacking midfielder was also dropped from the Brazilian national team as he was easily replaced
by other players.
As matters escalated, the athlete also considered leaving his current club in search for another opportunity elsewhere. Yet, a move could not conspire and he was left at the Bernabeu.
Nevertheless, in spite of all that he has faced over the past three seasons with Los Blancos, Kaka was recently able to demonstrate that he is not over.
Scoring a hat-trick against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Millonarios-c39919 was only the beginning of what the footballer is capable of doing.
Kaka’s last two matches with Real Madrid have seen him become more and more noticeable as he was able to score and assist following his return to the starting line-up.
To be continued...
