Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite… who? He is Kaka the charismatic Brazilian midfielder and AC Milan’s Superstar, whose rise to stardom within no time was so awesome and phenomenal. It was his younger brother Rodrigo while in his childhood couldn’t pronounce the name and so nicknamed him Kaka.

Since his football debut at the age of nineteen, Kaka has become the most invaluable player for Brazil. He is very good at creating opportunities to score goals, which was evident in his very debut season in 2001 where he scored sensational 12 goals for his club Sao Paulo; and subsequently earned the title of ‘Top Player’ in Brazil Championships the following year. He also played a dynamic role in Brazil’s success in 2004 Copa America and the 2005 Confederations Cup and in 2007 he was the leading scorer in the UEFA Championships and rightly earned the title of UEFA’s ‘Footballer of the Year’.

The attacking midfielder is very smart at devastating the defenses with his stunning attacks and the way he pulls away his markers out of the positions allowing his teammates to score goals is just marvelous. It was indeed a great compliment for this terrific midfielder, when Carlos Alberto Parreira, the Brazilian coach dubbed Kaka “as one of the finest talents produced by his country in the past 50 years.”
