I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 98

On May 2002, 5, the Brazilian team announced the day of the 6-man squad for the World Cup.

Kaka's cards are not big enough for the coaching staff to call in person, so he can only get the final answer through live TV like ordinary fans.

Silva and others gathered at Kaka's house again, and everyone stood in front of the TV, nervously waiting for Scolari to announce the final result.

After a lot of ramblings, Scolari on the screen finally raised an open notebook in his hand. He could vaguely see some names listed on it, but the poor picture quality could not make people see the letters on it. Fortunately, his voice was very clear, so that everyone could hear each name clearly.

"Ronaldo, Inter Milan."

"Rivaldo, Barcelona."

……

"Kaka, Sao Paulo."

Everyone jumped up as if they had won the jackpot, and the kind Kaka was also relieved, smiling like a child.

They all thought that the dust had settled and Kaka's first World Cup was a foregone conclusion, but they all underestimated the ability of the media to make trouble.

Dejaminha's defeat and Kaka's selection caused some controversy, but the controversy was not big. After all, Dejaminha himself committed the death first. Most people were happy that Scolari complied with the "fans' choice", but the absence of another name almost pushed Scolari to the opposite of the entire Brazil.

Romario.

Even though he is 34 years old, the lone wolf whose scoring rate can still make all the active forwards in Brazil call his father is unimaginable in Brazil. Just after Scolari announced the final list, hundreds of fans gathered at the door to protest and demonstrate. Various media criticized Scolari for this, and even the Brazilian president came forward to intercede in person.

But Scolari is a dick, no one is a bird.

Then Kaka was pushed to the opposite of many fans, because after the reporters read the list, they decided that the person who replaced Romario was Kaka.

A striker, a midfielder, who knows how they came to this conclusion, this is probably the disadvantage of being too famous, because everyone wants to touch him.

Kaka and Romario, 20 and 34 years old, rookie and legend, future and past, Scolari chose the former, but in the eyes of many people, the latter is the better choice.

Kaka guessed that if Romario was selected and he was not selected, I am afraid that the same group of people came out to make trouble.

I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

This topic has been heated up in Brazil. Fortunately, although Romario has many fans, there are also many Kaka fans.

So Kaka was very open-minded, without any psychological burden. No matter what happened outside, he still happily reported to the national team.

The training location this time is not in Brazil. All the players will gather in Spain, where they will train for about half a month, then fly to Malaysia for the last warm-up match, and finally depart for South Korea.

This Brazilian team is almost full of acquaintances. Except for the famous ones, the others have been opponents even if they have never been teammates, so there is no problem of integration difficulties or bullying.

It is worth mentioning that thanks to Sao Paulo's outstanding performance in the past two years, Cheney not only appeared in the squad, but also wore a vest symbolizing the main players in the team's first training match.

Also affected by the Kaka butterfly effect is Oliveira. He transferred from the Portuguese to Santos in the second half of last year. He performed very well. Coupled with the World Youth Championship and the friendly goal against Iceland as chips, he successfully squeezed out Luisón (Luisan? Louiszao?) from the original time and space and entered the 23-man squad of the Brazilian national team.

Of course it's just a substitute.

The game is about to start, Kaka is very excited.

This is his first actual game after he acquired his natural ball sense. Although it was only a training match, looking at the people standing opposite him, he was still eager to try.

3R, Juninho, Emerson, Gilberto Silva, Cafu, Carlos, Edmilson, Lucio, Cheney, if nothing else, these eleven people will be Brazil's main lineup for this World Cup.

As for the other side, Kleberson, Oliveira, Belletti, Vampeta, Denilson, Junior, Dida, etc., Kaka looked around, and suddenly found that if you only talk about fame and worth, he is actually the biggest name on the bench. Whether it is Dida who played for AC Milan or Vampeta, who just transferred back to Corinthians from Inter Milan last year, etc., they are all worse than the rightful him...

"Although it's a training match, I hope that everyone will show the attitude of a formal match. Of course, there must be no malicious actions..."

The guest referee was assistant coach Paul Tulla, who blew his whistle after Scolari had finished speaking.

The home team kicks off first.

Ronaldo passed to Rivaldo, Rivaldo passed to Ronaldinho, and then Ronaldinho dribbled forward.

Although he has not reached the peak of his fame now, he is mature enough in personal skills and passed Oliveira and Kaka easily. However, he was too big when facing Kleberson, and the latter poked the ball away with his toe.

Ronaldinho hurried to chase the ball, but Kaka also arrived at the same time. He stepped on and pulled lightly, and snatched the ball from Ronaldinho with a wonderful Marseille gyration. At the same time, he also successfully turned to face the main team's half.

After getting the ball, Kaka didn't pass it out, but took it forward by himself.

It's not the iconic stride, but the high-speed dribbling that looks very ordinary. Although the speed is fast, the football is very close to the feet. The whole style is completely different from the Kaka that people know.

The first defender Kaka encountered was Juninho.

Juninho is actually between the main force and the substitute, because Scolari sometimes plays five defenders, and the extra central defender replaces his midfielder, so he also tried his best in the training game.

But Kaka made a move that shocked everyone's jaws and almost knocked the veteran to the ground.

The dragon wags its tail, or the tail of an ox.

The outer instep and inner instep of the right foot touch the ball quickly one after another, and change direction twice in an instant. This is the so-called "ox tail".

Is oxtail difficult?

For this group of players, it is not difficult, but there are only ones that can be used in actual combat and achieve results. The best of them are naturally Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.

Their oxtails are different. Da Luo's oxtail moves faster and moves smaller, which is more suitable for quickly getting rid of when being pressed close to the body, while Ronaldinho's movements are larger and more ornamental. Even a frontal breakthrough can achieve good results.

Kaka's dragon tail looks more like a combination of the two. Of course, it doesn't mean that he is so awesome and combines the technical advantages of Luo and Xiaoluo to create a more powerful oxtail, but that his oxtail is more suitable for his physical characteristics and technical style. It looks fast and elegant in visual effects, and it is comparable to high-end.

I don't know if he was stopped by Kaka, the dragon wagging his tail, but Ji Silva didn't come up to intercept immediately, allowing Kaka to speed up a little and quickly enter the penalty area.

Lucio and Edmilson came together, and Cafu ran to Oliveira.

In Cafu's view, Kaka wants to break through Lucio and Edmilson's defense and only pass and cooperate with his teammates. However, Kaka broke his cognition with an extremely simple left and right foot interaction.

The left and right feet touch the ball alternately, commonly known as fried meatballs. It is easy to say, but it is absolutely practical. Kaka uses it quickly and flexibly. The football seems to be stuck to his feet.

Only Cheney was left.

He made a decisive attack and rushed towards Kaka, but Kaka's upper body suddenly shook twice, his feet crisscrossed across the football at the same time, and then with a light flick, he quickly rushed past Cheney.

The pendulum is extraordinary.
