Kaka is more complete

clipped from newpaper.asia1.com.sg KAKA and Cristiano Ronaldo are the obvious choices, with Ronaldo the slight favourite since his clean sweep of the PFA (Professional Footballer's Association) awards recently. Kaka is more consistent - give him Messina or Manchester United and his overall play will still be truly unbelievable. Kaka is a dynamic player who can score, pass, create, defend and lift his team-mates all at the same time. But when we look at performances on a higher level, Ronaldo is lacking goals against the big teams. He has proven his worth over major domestic and international tournaments, and is the current top scorer (nine goals) in the Champions League, whereas Ronaldo has only three. Ronaldo might have wowed many with his stepovers and dribbles but Kaka is more effective with his spectacular goals and defence-splitting passes. Thus, Kaka is a more complete player, and can be considered the world's greatest player ahead of the rest.

KAKA is the one

clipped from newpaper.asia1.com.sg THEY are the world's latest 'Awesome Foursome'. A quartet who still represent beauty in a game many argue is threatening to become ugly. Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Lionel Messi represent hope for those who still believe that true genius can be found in attack, as the game becomes increasingly dominated by defensive-minded approaches. Who among the four do you think can be the world's greatest player, and why? there's something about Kaka that's stirring my gut. For Messi's great solo run against Getafe in the Copa del Rey last week, we have already seen many 30- or 40-metre runs from Kaka. Despite being an attacking midfielder, Kaka has become the Champions League top scorer with nine goals - trumping the rest mentioned here - in a competition which features teams with a wider variety of styles. And like Pele, Kaka's feet are equally blessed. Think of a white Pele. Think Brazil's next Zico. Think the world's greatest player soon.

Gennaro Gattuso on KAKA

clipped from www.uefa.com Kaká class The Brazil forward inspired Milan's short-lived revival at Old Trafford with two goals in 15 minutes that gave the visitors a 2-1 half-time lead - and Gattuso has every faith that Kaká will continue his UEFA Champions League heroics on Wednesday night. "If he is as devastating as he was in the first leg, we will win," said the Italian international, whose excellent display last week was curtailed when he limped off after 53 minutes with a foot injury. Sir Alex told uefa.com. "Kaká is the obvious threat. I thought he gave a terrific performance and we have to pay attention to that. We know where their threat's come from. They also have important players like Gattuso. He brings a lot of energy to them, he's a very important player." Milan's rival manager at San Siro, Sir Alex Ferguson, is another Kaká fan - though he also has a word of praise for Gattuso himself. "The obvious threat was there for everyone to see last week in the shape of Kaká,"

Wayne Rooney on KAKA

clipped from www.goal.com Wayne Rooney has admitted that he was impressed by AC Milan's Kaká in the first leg and believes that Cristiano Ronaldo deserves special praise for his performances this season. "I think Kaká showed how good he is with his two goals and Ronaldo has proved himself all season by playing well week in, week out," Rooney told uefa.com. The Manchester United forward looked ahead to the second leg of the Champions League semi final and was complimentary about the media's favourite players.

Red Aware of KAKA Threat

clipped from www.manutd.com AC Milan’s Kaka had a huge influence in his side’s trip to Old Trafford last Tuesday, and United are well aware that he remains the biggest threat to their hopes of reaching the Champions League final. “They also have important players like Gattuso - who I expect to play. He brings a lot of energy to them and is a very important player for them. They have great experience. You could look at half a dozen of the Milan players and see that. We know exactly what a difficult task it is, but I think we’re a team in form.” “I think the obvious threat was there for everyone to see last week in the shape of Kaka, he gave a brilliant performance,” said Sir Alex Ferguson. “Obviously we have to pay attention to that. We know where their threats come from. “He’s an outstanding talent, we obviously saw that in the first leg and we know we’ll have to be on our top form to stop him,” said the Irish defender.

MU about Kaka

clipped from www.manutd.com Milan's outstanding young midfielder Kaka was undoubtedly the Rossoneri’s saviour last week, and the Brazilian admits the atmosphere created by the Old Trafford crowd proved to be an inspiration. Speaking before the must-win game at the San Siro, Kaka said: “The game at Old Trafford was a real spectacle and I'm convinced the second leg will be another amazing game – perhaps even more amazing than the first match. “It was a wonderful show for the fans and it could be another one on Wednesday. I was hugely impressed by the atmosphere inside Old Trafford. “Even at half-time when they were losing 2-1, the United fans were still singing and getting behind their team. I'm sure our fans will show the same kind of spirit as United fans displayed.” Kaka’s goals at Old Trafford last Tuesday were his eighth and ninth of the competition, making him the Champions League’s leading goalscorer, but he will be keen to make his scoring run count with victory at the Giuseppe Meazza.

clipped from www.uefa.com 'Great chance' If the match had finished 2-2 I still feel we would have a mountain to climb although those away goals are very important. But losing the first leg is not the end of the world by any means and I believe we stand a great chance of turning the tie around at the San Siro next week. The game at Old Trafford was a real spectacle and I'm convinced the second leg will be another amazing game – perhaps even more amazing than the first match. It was a wonderful show for the fans and it could be another one on Wednesday. I was hugely impressed by the atmosphere inside Old Trafford. Even at half-time when they were losing 2-1, the United fans were still singing and getting behind their team. I'm sure our fans will show the same kind of spirit as United fans displayed. We haven't enjoyed a great season but the fans have been brilliant and have been by our side throughout the season.
