Why Kaká is the best soccer player in my opinion

Kaka was my inspiration because we both play midfield and play very simply he also was a part of Real Madrid, my favorite team. He was a simple human being who didn’t flex about anything he also won a World Cup in 2002, where he rose to fame along Brazilian stars like Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo Nazario, Ronaldinho, Cafu, and Kleberson. He has many famous pictures during this time like one holding the World Cup, he was very peaceful and won a Champions League and a Ballon d’or with AC Milan, so this is why Kaká is my favorite soccer player.

How Kaká won his first World Cup

Ricardo Kaká won his first and only World Cup at 20 years old in 2002, beating Germany’s Oliver Kahn in the final with 2 goals from Ronaldo Nazario. The winning of this World Cup by Kaká HEAVILY influenced him to win the Ballon d’or with AC Milan in 2007 at about 25 years old, ahead of players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Ronaldihno.

Kaká managed to score a goal in Brazil’s most successful World Cup of 2002, they managed to pull this off by ending on the top of their group and beat Belgium 2-0 to progress to the quarter-finals, after in the quarterfinals they beat England 2-1, in the semifinals they beat Turkey to progress to the grand final versus Germany. The first half was solid but a error from Oliver Kahn caused Ronaldo Nazario to score, and after in the 80’ minute a pass from Ricardo Kaká would get Ronaldo Nazario through on goal which caused him to score the second and final goal for Brazil. They had won the World Cup, and they have not won another since.
