KAKA would relish chance to play in the Premiership
By: James Ducker
Premiership defenders received the news that none of them will have wanted to hear yesterday: Kaká wants to play in England. But not before the AC Milan playmaker has tried to persuade Cristiano Ronaldo to join the Italian giants.
Manchester United’s Champions League semi-final against Milan had been billed as a battle between the world’s two best players, but while Kaká won that contest hands down as he inspired the Serie A team to a 5-3 aggregate victory, the Brazilian is keen to play in the same team as the United and Portugal winger. “He should transfer to Milan, then we could play together,” Kaká said yesterday. “You never know.”
Seemingly more likely, however, is the prospect of Kaká playing in the Barclays Premiership, although to judge from his performances — and three goals — over the two legs against United, that spells bad news for defenders.
“I love the competition, the challenge. There are many big teams,” he said. “Three English teams made the last four of the Champions League, so the challenge is very appealing. If one day I was to leave Milan, I would definitely look at an English team.”
Kaká is desperate to avenge Milan’s defeat by Liverpool in the Champions League final in Istanbul in 2005, when, leading 3-0 at half-time, they imploded before losing on penalties. Ominously, he believes that there is still more to come from him. “The final against Liverpool will be a unique game,” he said. “I sincerely hope it will be different from that in 2005. I reiterate that I am not playing at my top level. I still have a lot to improve on.”
