I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 529 Real Madrid and the World Cup

Chelsea are once again the prettiest team in European football, with domestic cup, league and Champions League sweeps no doubt reminiscent of the fears that reigned in the blue terror of 07.

Real Madrid, which has high hopes, has its head shaved on all fronts. The boss of Serie A, Inter Milan, can only dominate the country.

Although they were eliminated by Chelsea in the semi-finals, unlike the easy 5-0 win over the Bundesliga giants, Chelsea's two-round victory over Barcelona was a bit of luck, and apart from the Champions League, Barcelona and Messi's performance this season is not much weaker than Chelsea and Kaka.

Messi himself scored 34 goals in La Liga, tying Ronaldo's original miracle in Barcelona, ​​and scored 8 goals in the Champions League. He also played well in the UEFA Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup, and Club World Cup. He scored 47 goals in a single season and scored 68 points in the European Golden Boot. In any season other than 06-07 and 09-10, he has performed at the European Golden Boot and Ballon d'Or level.

So whether it is to improve the competitiveness of the team, consolidate the status of Real Madrid and himself, or just to fight against Barcelona, ​​Florentino is bound to win Kaka.

For Kaka, he dispatched all the resources he could use.

Ronaldo, Zidane, Beckham and even Owen have all become his lobbyists.

Together with Figo, who is a double star of Real Madrid and Chelsea, he also revealed some meanings in this regard.

"Kaka, to be honest, I have the same feelings towards Real Madrid and Chelsea in my heart, and I even have a deeper feeling for Chelsea, because I got more honors at Stamford Bridge and enjoyed more fun from football. But purely from the perspective of a professional player, if you reject the invitation of Real Madrid, your career will be a bit regretful. No matter how brilliant you are at Chelsea, you will always think about it from time to time. What would have happened if I joined Real Madrid... Do you know that feeling?"

Kaka smiled and said: "Louis, this sentence can actually be understood in another way. If I joined Real Madrid, then I might think this way after I retire: What would happen if I didn't switch to Real Madrid but stayed at Chelsea... Maybe I have more common language with Owen in this regard, although he also persuaded me to go to Real Madrid."

Figo patted his forehead helplessly, and said, "Well, I can't compare to you in terms of eloquence, but I promised Florentino, anyway, I have completed the task."

"For any player, Real Madrid is indeed very attractive, but you know, I can't bear everything about Chelsea, the coaches, teammates, fans, and even the boss... You heard me right, I actually like Abramovich. After all, there are not many bosses in the world who can respect players' opinions so much."

"Come on, if he really respected you so much, he wouldn't have bought a Robinho out of nowhere."

"From his point of view, it was for my own good."

"...Well, I know what you mean, but I can guarantee that what Abramovich can give you, Florentino can give you more. You should never underestimate that old man. For what he wants, he will be a hundred times crazier than the craziest person you know."

The last person Florentino dispatched at the player level was Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is training with the national team and contacted Kaka by phone.

"Kaka, come to Real Madrid, we will be invincible together."

"...maybe it's a bit arrogant to say that, but I feel like I'm invincible at Chelsea now."

"Then you have to come to the Bernabeu, Kaka, you need some new challenges."

"Are you looking for help, Cristiano? It seems that you were really bullied by Barcelona? This is not the Cristiano Ronaldo I know."

"It's not about helping or not, Barcelona or Barcelona, ​​Kaka, but I think we are the same kind of people, we can make each other better. I have thought countless times, what would have happened if you had joined Manchester United instead of Chelsea."

"Believe me, if I had joined Manchester United, you would never have achieved what you are doing now."

"Maybe, but it's different now. I've found a new purpose here. I think you need some new motivation. Just like when you chose to leave AC Milan. Think, Serie A champions, Premier League champions, La Liga champions, build the strongest team in the world and be the greatest in it. Do what you did at Chelsea and do it better..."

Kaka fell silent.

It's not how provocative Ronaldo's words are. For someone like him, Ronaldo's words don't even have the power to make him a little excited.

The reason why he hesitated was because there was always an obsession in his heart.

Kaka's obsession.

What is lost must be regained with one's own hands, and where it is lost, it must be won back from.

Real Madrid's relationship with Kaka is roughly equivalent to the penalty kick in 94 to Baggio, the 98 final to Ronaldo, Istanbul Night to Milan, Waterloo to Napoleon, Chibi to Cao Aman, Wuzhangyuan to Zhuge Liang...

If they were asked to do it all over again, some people might choose to avoid this fate far away, but there would also be some people who would go up to it head-on and fight back against fate in a more violent and intelligent way.

Kaka felt that he seemed to be the latter.

From his debut in Sao Paulo to the present, if there is any regret in his football career that has not been made up, it is probably to really prove himself in Real Madrid, tell those [-] fans who came to the Bernabeu to welcome him, tell those guys who ridiculed him as "Real Madrid's most expensive drinking fountain administrator", whether a healthy Kaka is qualified to be the captain of the Galacticos.

Reason told him that it was not a wise choice to give up everything he had and go to Real Madrid, and Real Madrid was no more noble than Chelsea, but if he put aside his reason and listened to his inner voice, he might get an answer that would make Florentino laugh out of his dreams.

Ronaldo also felt Kaka's hesitation, and after waiting for a while, he said: "Come to the Bernabeu, Kaka, this is the most special stage in the football world, you should come and feel its charm, I believe you will like it here."

"I will seriously consider it, Cristiano."

"I'm waiting for good news from you, maybe you can tell me when Brazil play Portugal in the World Cup group stage."

"I'm afraid you won't want to be my teammate after that."

"Haha, I won't lose to you this time, Kaka."

"Everyone of you said that."

"I do what I say."

"I really like your confidence..."

Florentino's second round of offensive came soon.

But Kaka never thought of the candidate for this dispatch.

Just the day before Kaka left for the national team, an unexpected guest knocked on the door of his house.

"Kaka, the scenery in Sao Paulo is good, but it's really hard to find you here."

Kaka snorted secretly, but with a calm expression on his face: "So... your next stop is the Bernabéu, Jose?"

"You're really smart, Kaka, but are you just chatting with guests at the door like this?"

"If you're here as a guest, then I'm very welcome, but if you're here on behalf of Florentino, then I'm very sorry, I only have the World Cup in my heart now." Kaka moved away and invited Mourinho and his assistants in.

The two parties entered the reception room, went straight to the point after a little politeness.

"I am here on my own behalf, Kaka," Mourinho said. "I did agree to the invitation of Real Madrid and will announce it soon, but I and everyone at Real Madrid think that we are still missing the most important link."

"I don't want to leave Chelsea. I have a good time here. I like everything there. Even the bad weather in London is no longer so annoying." Kaka is talking to himself rather than Mourinho.

"You've won everything at Chelsea, Kaka, it's time for a change, believe me, we can do something great together."

"What's the difference, Jose? The Premier League champion is replaced by the La Liga champion, and the number of champions that can be won is even one less. Why should I go to Real Madrid? Can you give me a strong reason? I don't want to say that I have reached the apex. It is not humble at all, but the reality is that, I have even won six Champions League titles..."

Mourinho looked at the tangled Kaka, and secretly thought there was something wrong.

"What is football to you? Kaka? Career? Faith? Dreams?"

"I can't tell. It can be a career, a dream, a hobby, or even just a game."

"If it's a career and dream, then you should change direction; if it's hobbies and games, then you should change your copy." Mourinho said, "For you, going from Chelsea to Real Madrid is not going up. In fact, you have no way to go up. No matter what honor you have, it is just a numerical increase. What you have to do is to find other scenery..."

"Going to Real Madrid is not a new challenge, Kaka, but you really need to change your environment, otherwise football will no longer bring you fun, but just a job without passion, just like an ordinary white-collar worker, clocking in numbly every day, doing repetitive and boring things..."

"Everything waits until after the World Cup. Let Florentino stop for a while, okay?"

"Okay, but you have to decide quickly, Kaka, we don't have much time, you know, if you transfer, it will cause a big chain reaction..."

Mourinho has no confidence in front of Kaka, and of course he can't show the style of "God first, I second". Kaka said to wait, then he can only wait.

It's that humble.

The next day, Kaka arrived at the training center in Curitiba, a city in southern Brazil, to start training before the World Cup.

The Brazilian national team will be training here until the 25th. On the morning of the 26th, they will go to the capital Brasilia to accept the farewell ceremony held by President Lula for them, and then fly to South Africa by chartered flight.

You must know that the Champions League final just ended on the 22nd, and the World Cup will start on June 6th, so Kaka came here more as a mascot, and the number of times he actually trained with his teammates was actually very small.

A large number of fans and reporters outside the base have long been waiting for the battle. Kaka's arrival has attracted the attention of the whole people.

Unlike in the past, Kaka no longer hid from the media, but took the initiative to accept interviews, expressing his determination to fight and compete for the championship.

If Chelsea and Barcelona are the most competitive giants in world football today, then switching to the national team level, the current top spot is undoubtedly Brazil and Spain.

Needless to say, Brazil, with the No.1 in the world and its past glory, will always be the most powerful contender for No.1 in the football world.

The rise of Spain is due to the success of Barcelona and the amazing performance in the European Cup.

Among the odds of winning the World Cup given by major gambling companies, Spain is only 5.0, ranking second in the world.

England and Argentina, tied for third and fourth, are both 6.0, Germany and Italy 10.0, Netherlands 11.0, France 12.0, Portugal 17.0, and they are all over 20 in the future. It can be said that any team other than Brazil, Spain, Argentina, England and Argentina can be called a big upset.

The odds of Brazil, which ranks first, are only 3.5, which is undoubtedly the favorite among the favorites.

This enthusiasm has a lot to do with their lineup.

As for the striker, Fabiano, the striker who played for Sevilla in La Liga, showed a terrifying scoring rate in the qualifiers. He and Adriano formed Brazil's striker, and with a young striker like Pato as a substitute, the Brazilian team did not have to worry about the lack of forward power. So when Dunga announced that he would not bring Ronaldo, the resistance he received was not as strong as imagined.

In the midfield, Robinho, who had conflicts with Kaka, was given up. Ronaldinho, who was not in Dunga's selection, was able to enter the squad. Neymar, who was also called the twin star of Barcelona along with Messi, was successfully selected and became one of the youngest players in this cup.

Kaka, Ronaldinho, Neymar, there is no need to worry about Brazil's midfield creativity and impact, but it is relatively weak in terms of midfield defense.

Due to the lack of newcomers, the defensive midfielder who played the most in the qualifiers was actually the old Gilberto Silva. If there is no accident, Dunga will continue to trust this veteran. The midfielder position may become the weakness of the Brazilian team in this cup.

On the defensive line, the central defender teamed up by Lucio and Juan performed fairly well in the qualifiers. The newly-emerged AC Mulan central defender Thiago Silva gave Dunga another choice in terms of personnel. The full-back Maicon has been in a brave state in recent years.

Inter Milan goalkeeper Julio Cesar played all 18 games in Brazil's qualifiers. It can be said that he is the most reassuring goalkeeper in Brazil in recent years.

Brazil's 23-man roster:
Goalkeepers: Cesar (Inter Milan), Gomez (Tottenham Hotspur), Doni (Roma);
Defenders: Maicon (Chelsea), Alves (Barcelona), Gilberto (Cruzeiro), Bastos (Lyon), Juan (Roma), Lucio (Chelsea), Luizon (Benfica), Thiago Silva (Milan);
Midfielders: Kaka (Chelsea), Ronaldinho (Milan), Neymar (Barcelona), Baptista (Roma), Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos), Melo (Juventus), Josue (Wolfsburg), Kleberson (Flamengo);
Forwards: Adriano (Manchester United), Fabiano (Sevilla), Pato (Chelsea), Nierma (Villarreal).
