Milan

Kaká and Brazilian President Lula
A.C. Milan, fresh from winning the 2003 Champions League, brought him aboard in 2003 for €8.5 million, a fee described in hindsight as "peanuts" by club owner Silvio Berlusconi.[9] Within a month, he cracked the starting lineup, and his Serie A debut was in a 2–0 win over A.C. Ancona. He scored ten goals in thirty appearances that season, as Milan won the Scudetto and the European Super Cup.
Kaká was a part of the five-man midfield in the 2004–05 season, usually playing in a withdrawn role behind striker Andriy Shevchenko. He scored seven goals in 36 domestic appearances as Milan finished runner-up in the Scudetto race. Despite Milan losing the 2004–05 Champions League final to Liverpool F.C. on penalties, he was nonetheless voted the best midfielder of the tournament.
2005–06 saw Kaká score his first hat-tricks in domestic and European competition. On April 9, 2006, he scored his first Rossoneri hat-trick against Chievo Verona; all three goals were scored in the second half. Seven months later, he scored his first Champions League hat-trick in a 4–1 group stage win over RSC Anderlecht. The football world was beginning to take notice of a superstar in the making.

Kaká with Milan
Shevchenko's departure to Chelsea FC for the 2006–07 season allowed Kaká to become the focal point of Milan's offense as he alternated between the midfield and striker positions. He finished as the top scorer in the 2006–07 CL campaign with ten goals. One of them helped the Rossoneri eliminate Celtic FC in the quarterfinals on a 1–0 aggregate, and three others proved fatal for Manchester United in the semifinals despite Milan losing the first leg. Following the convincing 3–0 second-leg defeat at the San Siro on May 2 that knocked out the English champions, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson declared that Kaká was one of the two best players in the world, alongside his charge Cristiano Ronaldo.
Kaká added the Champions League title to his trophy case for the first time when Milan defeated Liverpool F.C. on May 23, 2007. Though he went scoreless, he won a free kick that led to the first of Filippo Inzaghi's two goals, and provided the assist for the second. For his stellar play throughout the competition, he was voted the Vodafone Fans' Player of the Season in a poll of over 100,000 UEFA.com visitors. On August 30, Kaká was named by UEFA as both the top forward of the 2006–07 CL season and Club Footballer of the Year.[10]
He played his 200th career match with Milan in a 1–1 home draw with Calcio Catania on September 30, and on October 5, he was named the 2006–07 FIFPro World Player of the Year. On December 2, 2007, Kaká became the eighth Milan player to win the Ballon D'or, as he finished with a decisive 444 votes, long ahead of runner-up Cristiano Ronaldo.[11] He signed a contract extension through 2013 with Milan on February 29, 2008.[12]
Due to his contributions on and off the pitch, Time magazine named Kaká in the Time 100, a list of the world's 100 most influential people, on May 2.[13] On October 14, he cast his footprints into the Estádio do Maracanã's sidewalk of fame, in a section dedicated to the memory of the country's top players.[14]
On January 13, 2009, it was reported by the BBC that Manchester City made a bid for Kaká for over £100 million. Milan director Umberto Gandini replied in an emailed comment, "The only thing I can say is that the offer is huge and the club is pondering it carefully," and added that Milan would only discuss the matter if Kaka and Manchester City agreed to personal terms.[15] Kaká initially responded by telling reporters he wanted to "grow old" at Milan and dreamed of captaining the club one day, but later said, “If [Milan] want to sell me, I’ll sit down and talk. I can say that as long as the club don’t want to sell me, I’ll definitely stay.”[16] On January 19, Berlusconi announced that City had officially ended their bid after a discussion between the clubs, and that Kaká would remain with Milan.[17] Milan supporters had protested outside the club headquarters earlier that evening, and later chanted outside Kaká's home, where he saluted them by flashing his jersey outside a window.[18]

KAKA GHILD

name: Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite.Date of birth: May 15th 1982.Place of birth: Brasilia, the administrative capital of the Brazilian Federal District.Height: 1.82 m (6 ft). At age 12, Kaká was considerably shorter than his father and brother; medical tests showed that his bones suffered growth delay; for two years, Kaká was submitted to growth treatment, to reach normal height. Kaká was born in Brasília. From age 4 to 7, his family lived in Cuiabá, following his father, a civil engineer.At age 7, the family moved to the city of São Paulo, in the neighbourhood of Morumbi, near the Stadium of São Paulo FC. As FIFA says, "Kaka fails to fit the Brazilian stereotype of the kid from the favela who first played the game in the street with a ball made from rags. Coming from a comfortable and cultured family, Kaka kept up his studies for as long as they were compatible with his profession.".His talent was soon recognized. A professor called the family and suggested enrolling him in a football school. At age 8, Kaká was playing with São Paulo FC, where he succeeded in all categories. At age 14, Kaká used to wake up two hours early, to keep up with his studies; Kaká managed to conclude the intermediary cycle (eleven years) in Brazil, before dedicating exclusively to football.Kaká is religious. Since early adolescence, he's been attending the evangelical Church Renascer.

Religious,KaKa commemorates God

His religiosity grew stronger after an accident in 2000. During holidays, Kaká dove into a shallow pool and beat the head against the floor; immediate exams didn't show anything. A few days later, while training in São Paulo, Kaká felt a strong pain and found out that he had broken a cervical vertebra; Kaká had to wear a treatment jacket for two months. Returning to football was uncertain; "the doctors said I was lucky; I am certain that it was God's will", says Kaká.In 2000, Kaká was champion of the Junior championship, in São Paulo. In 2001, he became professional; his first match was on February 2nd, and his first goal on February 5th. In the decision of the high profile Rio-São Paulo tournament, Kaká (then Cacá) scored the two goals that gave the title to São Paulo over Botafogo. .On 31st January 2002, Kaká debuted with the National Team, playing against Bolivia; on March 7th, against Iceland, he scored his first goal.In 2002, Kaká went to the 2002 World Cup. He played only a few minutes in the match against Costa Rica. In the final match, against Germany, when the Brazilian victory was defined, coach Scolari attempted to put Kaká to play; the last images of the game show Kaká waving desperately to the referee, asking for a break, but there was no time. Kaká was, anyway, world champion.São Paulo FC and Kaká had a non-official agreement with Milan AC: he would stay in Brazil until 2004 and then would move to Italy; São Paulo could collect a few championships, and Milan would have a more mature player. However, feeling that other teams were talking to Kaká, the Milan directors (particularly Leonardo, who played with the Brazilian team in the cups of 1994 and 1998) decided, in 2003, to antecipate the transfer.

HIS LIVE

Kaká was an instant hit in Italy. In 2004, Milan won the Italian league. In 2005, Kaká was

elected the best midfielder in Europe by UEFA.In December 2005, Kaká married CarolineCelico, who attended the same evangelical Church as him. In Brazil, Kaká was as popular among men as among women; thousands of fan pages maintained by young admirers appeared when Kaká was in Brazil, and failed to be maintained after he went away (and got married).In 2006, only 24 years old, Kaká is one of the main Brazilian players in the World Cup.Despite the abundance of good players, coach Carlos Alberto Parreira already said that Kaká will start as a principle. The groups formed by Kaká, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Adriano is being called "the Magic Square" by Brazilian media and fans.
