Kaka open to leaving Real Madrid
This has come as a bit of a surprise really. There has been a lot of talk about players that Real Madrid along with Jose Mourinho would be bringing into the squad and now, the first player to be mentioned along with the possibility of leaving has also crept up and that player is none other than Kaka.
I have got to be honest with you guys, Kaka was the last player on the whole of this Real Madrid squad that I expected to be related to a transfer this summer. I mean, the guy is a great player, he had a horrible season according to some people but in my opinion performed well whenever he played, certainly not bad enough to be considered as a fringe player at Real Madrid.
Plus, the fact that Real Madrid spent something like 65 million on kaka, it would be a huge mistake to sell him for anything less than that. Kaka is reaching his peak years (yeah, peak years, because according to Zidane, 30 is the age when you are most balanced as a player, physically and technically) and Real Madrid have not seen the best of him, or even close to the best of Kaka the previous season.
We all know the reason for that (apparently, he had hernia and had some issues settling into Spain and the new style of his new team Real Madrid) so it would be extremely unwise to judge him based on his performances last season.
Interestingly, Kaka himself is keen on uniting with his former coach (current Chelsea manager) Carlo Ancelotti and the only way he can do that now is by leaving Real Madrid for Chelsea. The reports say that Kaka has concerns about his role in the team that Jose Mourinho will lead next season and thus would consider a move away from Spain where he has had a torrid time so far.
I don’t know. I mean, Jose Mourinho was quite supportive of Kaka in his interview that I read a couple of days ago where he specially mentioned that Kaka will get back to his best under his influence and he knows the reason why Kaka was not able to perform to his high standards last season so I don’t see anything which should worry kaka about what Mourinho said.
One thing that could concern kaka is the hot list of players that Mourinho wants to sign this summer. Almost all of the attacking players that have been linked to a move to Real Madrid play close or exactly at the position where kaka plays. I mean, Gerrard and Lampard both can and do, play their best as attacking mid-fielders so may be kaka thinks, he does not have Mourinho’s confidence.
But, I would tell Kaka to wait till pre season starts and Mourinho starts to see what each player can offer to the team. I am sure that there would be no problems. Kaka is a complete attacking midfielder, there is none better than him when he is playing with good rhythm and most of all, Real Madrid needs him especially in the Champions League where one on one skill with opposition players is so important in opening up defenses and creating chances.
Talking about one on one’s, I also recall Mourinho talking about what his Real Madrid team to look like and play like. There again he mentioned Ronaldo and Kaka and stated that since these are two players who have great control over the ball and can mesmerize defenders with their speed and skill in one on one situations, his Real Madrid side will win matches by playing attacking football (actually he said balanced football, sometimes with good defense and sometimes with good attack) unlike his former two teams (Inter Milan and Chelsea) whose performances were largely considered (by the media) to be defensive (anti football).
Anyway, I hope he does not leave Real Madrid (but you can never say never at Real Madrid). What do you guys think? Should Kaka leave if Real Madrid sign Gerrard or Lampard?
HALA MADRID!!!!
