Kaka may be given a lifeline... (and photos of him in Shanghai!)

There was an article in Marca "sources close to the player" (that's code for Kaka) where that source (again: almost certainly Kaka himself) said he wasn't played when in good health, was ignored in practice, was dropped when in form for out-of-form players etc...

Which is something we can kinda-sorta verify...

his time at real madrid has just been SO UNLUCKY. idk why this is happening to him :( did mourinho get pissed at kaka kidnapping his dog or something. if kaka stays, i really hope ancelotti will give him a proper 100% chance, even until january i will be happy, just so he can prove himself. it's just so unfortunate that this is happening to him, and really killing his chances at being on the brazil NT team, which i think is his ultimate goal :(

which is why he should leave, or honestly, should have already left a year ago.

I really don't think Mourinho shunned him or treated him badly. Ozil has more than deserved being in the starting 11 and Kaka had a bad injury and hasn't been back to his Milan self.

no, i agree. he really should have. but now ancelotti is here, idk. i'm conflicted =/

I'm so conflicted about Kaka, and I've sort of reached a point of exasperation as to why he continues to stay (admittedly that was during the Mou ~era when it was obvious he simply wasn't going to be given a real chance). On the one hand, I really, really want to see him regain some of his old form and put in amazing performances again... but I don't think I want that to be in Madrid because Ozil is my bby and he hasn't done anything to merit losing his starting position.

I've never exactly warmed to him in the sense that he's not one of my favourite favourites, but I'm oddly upset by the idea he's unlikely to ever return to Milan. And I don't care about Milan at all. idk, this stupid sport.

He said the offer from Madrid couldn't be rejected and he repeated it several times. I have to admit I would have liked to hear something more like "I want to play for Madrid" but we'll get that tomorrow, I guess (1pm Spain time presentation at the Bernabeu and press conference). He's still in tears.

I can't really blame the guy. He's been at one club his entire life, and this is his good bye to them. I'm sure he'll love us soon enough.

i'm really into this new kindly uncle vibe for our coach, as opposed to the sexually aggressive uncle vibe of our former coach.
