Kaka Biography- Introduction
I write this biography of Kaká a few weeks before the 2006/2007 Champions League final, a final that ended with a happy result, 2-1 for the Brazilian team, AC Milan, against Liverpool of England.
I have to say that, as impressive as Filippo Inzaghi was (he scored both of AC Milan’s goals), my eyes were focused on the Brazilian Kaká throughout the match. His passing, his dribbling, his speed and his vision on the pitch were honey to my eyes.
I decided to write this biography of Kaká not because the Brazilian needs it, but because I want you to discover who the real Ricardo Kaká is, how he climbed the rungs of his career before becoming a superstar and what exactly does that,” he said. “until heaven” means kaka celebration.
Kaka Biography – Early Career
After spending his early days in different youth clubs in his hometown of Brasilia and Sao Paulo, Kaká was finally offered a professional contract at a very tender age: seventeen.
Since Kaká played great football for the Sao Paulo youth teams, the reserve team and the Brazilian U-17 national team, he immediately attracted the attention of several European clubs, the first to appear being Turkish side Gaziantepspor.
Sao Paulo agreed to sell Kaká, for a sum of $1.5 million, a sum that, if you think about the player’s market value now, would seem silly. Still, the sum was quite large for the Turkish team, especially for a 17-year-old footballer, as Kaká’s young age gives them no guarantees that he will regularly play great football at a professional level.
Biography of Kaká – Incident in the swimming pool Sao Paulo FC
In his first season as a professional player at Sao Paulo, Kaká did not play for the Brazilian team, but he used this time to adjust to his new teammates and the hardships of professional football in Brazil.
He was probably going to make his debut that season yet, but an unfortunate incident in the swimming pool almost ended his football career, Kaká fractured his spine in September 2000. Not only did he risk his future, but this fracture almost cost him his life. and he was in real danger of being paralyzed for the rest of his life.
Miraculously, Kaká made a full recovery and returned to training after he regained his full strength. From that day on, Kaká found faith in God and part of his earnings as a professional soccer player always go to the Church, as a small gesture of thanks to God for having saved his life and his career. Kaká’s famous celebration after scoring a goal is related to that incident, as he thanks God every time for allowing him to play football and be on the pitch.
Kaká Biography – Attracting European Giants
After fully recovering from his horrific fracture, Kaká finally got the chance to play for Sao Paulo in January 2001 and he did not disappoint, scoring no less than 12 goals in 27 games that season. This guaranteed him a solid place in the first team for the 2001-2002 season, in which he scored a further 10 goals in 22 games and every time a young Brazilian footballer performs so well, he is bound to get a few calls from some of the top clubs. Europeans.
One of these clubs would be AC Milan, one of the most important teams in Italy, and Kaká signed without batting an eye, eager to start a European career.
You probably know the story here. Kaká is currently in his fourth season at Milan, with whom he once won the Serie A championship, an Italian Super Cup and a few weeks ago the UEFA Champions League (he also played another Champions League final in the 2004-2005 season, but the lost to Liverpool in what is considered one of the most beautiful finals of the tournament). He became an indispensable player for AC Milan but also for Brazil.
As a soccer player for Brazil, Kaká has scored 31 goals in 52 games so far and provided numerous perfect assists in his attacking midfield role. With the young midfielder in the squad, Brazilian football became even more technical and fast (if that was even possible) and he is considered among the main favorites for the following international tournaments.
