Football belongs to Kaká (at least until Sunday)
Monday, 17 December 07, 07:03 AM
He was the man of the year. I totally agree on the other two Fifa top 3 players, but both the game and the results give Kaká the lead in the top of the 2007
football world. Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi showed very good football during the whole year, very spectacular, but Kaká has got everything. The show and the results.
He had amazing games for Milan in the Champions League. The final was not his best, but Milan would never be there without him. After refusing to play Copa
America for Brazil (in my opinion, his only fault in 2007), he came back even stronger this season.Although Milan is having an awful
season in Serie A, the team is strong enough (and will be better with Pato and Ronaldo fit) to fight for the second title in a row. And Kaká today is more importante than any other player in a team
in the world. Every top team in Europe can count on two or three top players (Barcelona and Machester United included). Not AC Milan, a Kaka+10 team.But Kaká still had something to show in December. He was the man of the match in both games in the Fifa CWC. Against Boca Juniors, he scored once and assisted
twice. But, the whole year is not finished yet for Kaká. He needs to show a little but more to beat Inter Milan next weekend. A defeat
for Inter can put the whole season down. If Kaká does another amazing game, Milan fans can’t ask anything else to Santa Claus for Christmas. They already had Kaká this year.

Can the Duck fly?
Monday, 11 December 06, 03:15 AM
With two rounds yet to play in the Brasileirao, Sao Paulo were already Champions. The Paulista team would play Cruzeiro, and after the game would raise the Cup.
About 15 kilometers from Morumbi Stadium, Palmeiras would host the runner-up Internacional. What should have been just an ordinary game between two clubs without any intention in the tournament, turned out to be a special day.
In its 11 starting players, Internacional had a new name with jersey number eleven. Alexandre Pato (Duck) was about to premiere at a professional level. The 17 year old boy from the city Pato Branco (White Duck) has been treated like a pearl in Beira-Rio since he was the MVP for National competition under-17s.
Since then, Fernando Carvalho, president of Internacional, worked hard to offer him a good contract and keep his wonder boy away from the big European clubs. The ‘Duck Operation’ involved many people. When the boy was in training sessions with the main squad, the media was not allowed to watch. Even when he could play for the first team, the president did not let Alexandre Pato do it until everything was set.
So, we come back to that afternoon in Palmeiras Stadium. Two days after he signed a deal with Internacional until 2009, the Duck was ready to finally show his skills. After the kick-off, Pato took only one minute to introduce himself to football when he actually scored with his first touch on the ball.
45 minutes later, everybody knew a great player had been born. Internacional led the game 4-0 after the break, and Alexandre was the player of the match, with two assists, one goal and also a header against the bar.
Along with Giovanni dos Santos, Alexandre Pato is probably the most promising young player of the FIFA\ Club World Cup. Let’s see if this Duck can fly higher.
