Kaka Ibrahimovic Swap? Interesting
The transfer season rarely ends without us hearing a crazy story about Real Madrid and this transfer season has been no different. A report claiming that Real Madrid and Barcelona are in advance talks to swap kaka and Zlatan.
When I heard of this, I was not shocked. Why?
Because this is Real Madrid. Real Madrid can do anything. Anything. Anything means anything, from buying Ronaldo for 90 million to selling Sneijder and Robben for half the price a season later. That is Real Madrid for you.
Thankfully, Zlatan’s agent has denied any contact with Real Madrid about any possible swap deal. By the way, if this deal does go through (I am still not aborting the notion of Kaka playing for Barcelona, even though I know it is impossible) then Real Madrid would have really done the worst deal of the century in my opinion.
Zlatan is no where near as good, as flashy or as effective as Kaka. All Zlatan can do is do some crazy stunt like finishes which can be done in several simpler ways and that is what makes him a hit amongst most people. I don’t like him. I generally don’t like players who don’t like to work hard.
Ronaldo being an exception (The Brazillian one) but he had skill no one has ever had before him or even after him, so he can be safely considered to be an exception to this rule. I don’t understand the media. Kaka has performed as well as he could have in the previous season.
He was injured and it is difficult for players to adapt to La Liga’s different type of football. The defenders here are a bit more intelligent so to say, then EPL or Serie A defenders and thus it is not easy to trick them or dribble past them.
Kaka did show some of his old self last season but most people argue that, those glimpses were not equal to the 60 million we payed for Kaka. I agree, but I also think that Kaka should be given atleast one more reason before being judged like that.
I do have this feeling that Kaka also feels the same pressure as any other great player would and he would be itching to go out on the field and perform for Real Madrid. Next season could be a good one for Real Madrid even though we have not gone on another overhauling of the existing squad but then again, how can you possibly improve on this squad, especially in the attacking area.
It all comes down to the manager now. As has always been the case with Real Madrid, there has never been shortage of world class talent at the Bernabeu. It is just that managers have not been given enough time and opportunities to form a good team and win titles.
Hopefully that will end next season with Jose Mourinho leading the Madrid Galacticos. Kaka is a part of that Galacticos and I would not swap him for anyone except Messi. Because I know that Kaka is not like Ronaldo. He will always keep on trying and will give his best in order to satisfy his fans and himself.
He won’t just jump the ship at Real Madrid. Ibrahimovic is the total opposite of what Kaka is. Zlatan is arrogant and rarely fights for his team if his team trails in a match. He just likes to go with the flow and sometimes that does not work. Sometimes you just have to grind it out. Work hard and get stuck in there, winning loose balls and making some extra effort in avoiding your marker.
Anyway. In other news, Real Madrid have still got a lot of things to sort out in bringing Maicon to the Bernabeu. Apparently, Maicon’s agent think that Real Madrid should value his client as much as Kaka or Ronaldo because Maicon is a born Champion and thus Real Madrid should be bold enough to pay over the odds for Maicon just like they did for Ronaldo and Kaka.
I don’t know about that but what I do know is that Maicon is not worth 30 odd million. He is a brilliant player but remember, he is a defender. So we cannot expect him to win us the Champions League or can we? Enough said.
HALA MADRID!!!!!
