Kaka, AC Milan and Real Madrid

The Spanish media has announced (if you believe any media, that is) that Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite (Kaka) and Real Madrid have reached a deal that would have the midfielder move to Spain.

Ok, folks. I honestly believe that Kaka is a great player with tremendous skills. No question about it. No one in his or her right mind can deny that fact. But in all honesty, is he the best there is as certain people claim? Don’t believe me? Well click here or here or here.

I do not agree with the assessment of him being the best. He has not, not that he has to, impressed me. Does it matter what I think? Probably not. It is just my opinion.

Am I biased against him? I do not think so. This is just what I think as someone who is a huge fan of soccer/football and enjoy watching the game.

Saying that he is the best is a disrespect to other players who have shown to be superior: Steven Gerrard of Liverpol, Xavi of Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo of Man United, Frank Lampard of Chelsea and Lionel Messi of Barcelona.

What makes you the best? Number of goals scored? If so, then Cristiano Ronaldo wins that hands down. Creativity? Well, then you have Lionel Messi. I am trying to wrap my head around this whole “the best player” thing.

Oh, by the way, AC Milan has denied that any deal for Kaka’s services has been reached. Like we did not see such announcement coming.
