Know a Footballer : Kaka Leite

Know a Footballer : Kaka Leite

While most Canadian fans appreciate The Beautiful Game, the strong majority of them haven’t been acquainted with its central personalities. Better Know a Footballer, The ODC’s new weekly feature, hopes to rectify this by means of juxtaposing soccer’s biggest names with North American sports notables we are more familiar with.
Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, better known simply as Kaka, is the best soccer player from Brazil, the best player in Serie A, and perhaps the best footballer on Earth. What is my basis for suggesting this?
The 26-year-old Brazilian attacking-mid was the recipient of both the Ballon d’Or (European Footballer of the Year) and FIFA World Player of the Year last year. As far as credentials for greatness go, those two trophies are as weighty as they come. North Americans likely are only familiar with Kaka’s play thanks to Milan’s run to last year’s Champions League title, but if they dig just a bit deeper and examine the evidence it becomes clear that we already know him by a different name: Dwyane Wade.
Unlikely Megastars: Though it may now seem difficult to fathom, Wade was not always a surefire prospect. A mere three schools recruited him as a High School Senior and, though he eventually landed at Marquette, he missed his entire freshman year because of academic failing. He entered the league as only the fifth pick overall and though he had a successful rookie season in Miami, he was greatly overshadowed by Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James.
Despite this, Wade has become one of the more accomplished young players in the NBA and is now a Finals MVP and a four-time All-Star. Kaka was seven when his family moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil. There his houseleague local youth club qualified for the finals in a local tournament, where his unexpected play won him assignment from Sao Paulo FC. Sao Paulo FC is Brazil’s third most popular team, but it does not have a history of national club dominance.
Unlike his countrymen Ronaldo or Ronaldino, Kaka was not a guaranteed star when he was brought aboard by AC Milan in 2003 for a mere $8.5 million transfer fee at age 21 (by comparison, Ronaldo drew $6 for his move from Brazil to PSV, but that was a decade earlier and he was only 17).
Early Returns with Aging Allies: Every basketball fan remembers Wade’s remarkable performance in the 2006 Playoffs, which saw him literally drag the seemingly lifeless-and-decaying corpses he called teammates to an NBA title. He became the fifth youngest player ever to be named NBA Finals MVP and recorded the third highest scoring average by a player in his first Finals, which was made all the more impressive considering his supporting cast included Shaq (34), Gary Payton (37), Alonzo Mourning (36), Antoine Walker (the oldest 29 ever), and Jason Williams (30).
After the win, the Heat seemed to age ten years in the span of one. Its veterans instantly turned into dead-weight and they were forced to rebuild. Meanwhile on the pitch, Kaka soared as he lifted Milan over Liverpool and to its seventh European Cup in club history (second most ever). During Champions League play Kaka scored 10 goals, nearly double the next closest player.
While the Rossoneri were victorious, the core of its roster was also staggeringly old (key players included Inzaghi, then 33; Nesta, then 31; Cafu, then 36; and Dida, then 33). This season their advancing years and lack of speed caught up with them as they made an early exit in Champions League and a dreadfully mediocre Serie A showing.
Selling Sensations: Dwyane is the face of T-Mobile, Converse, Gatorade, Sean Jean, Lincoln, and Topps. Though he may still trail LeBron in terms of marketing potential and overall appeal, he was named in the People 50 Most Beautiful list and had the top selling jersey in the league for two years. Kaka is no slouch salesman himself.
He is the international face of Adidas football (which, given the brand’s dominance in the world’s most played sport, is considerably substantial) as well having being a pitchman for TIM phones and having a modeling contract with Giorgio Armani (after all, he plays in Milan). For a gauge of his importance and fame internationally, consider this: he was the only footballer named in the 2008 Time 100 Most Influential list. Forget Face of the Franchise, Kaka may be the face of the game.
Faithfully Yours: Though he is getting divorced, Wade is a devout Christian (though this would seem difficult given the lure of South Beach) and chose the number three to represent his faith in the Holy Trinity. He tithes 10% of his salary to a church in Chicago and recently purchased a church outright for his mother (he also named his kids "Zaire Blessing" and "Zion" respectfully).
Not to be outdone, Kaka is a devout evangelical Christian and he removed his jersey after his Champions League triumph to show a shirt that read: “I Belong to Jesus.” He also stitched “God is Faithful” in his shoes for the 2002 World Cup final and tithes his salary to his church in Brazil. This all relates back to when he was 18 when he suffered a career-threatening spinal injury in a swimming pool accident only to recovery and attribute it to God.
Fat Friends: Flash seems to have an affinity for girth: he was Shaq’s sidekick in Miami, he has finally been allowed into Barkley’s Fav 5, and internet rumours have him shacking up with formerly-meaty Star Jones. Kaka? For both Milan and the Brazilian national team he plays with… Ronaldo. Enough said, me thinks.
So there you have it. Both men are among the highest superstars in their own sport and beyond that have become global icons. Though it is difficult to compare stats between sports, it can be said with certainty that both men are also wizards of offensive excellence (Kaka has 109 goals in 309 club appearances; Wade has a career scoring average of 23.9 a game).
If you look close enough, you see in DWade the same ingenious mix of flash, substance and creativity that Kaka brings to every match. Now… GET ME THEM SOCKS!

AC Milan's Midfielder Kaka Expects To Return To The Field In 15 Days

AC Milan's Midfielder Kaka Expects To Return To The Field In 15 Days
Jojo Doria - AHN
Brasilia, Brazil (AHN) - Brazilian soccer sensation Kaka, who underwent an arthroscopic procedure last month, said on Friday that he expects to return to the field in 15 days.

The 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder, born Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, better known as Kaka, is currently receiving intensive physical therapy in Sau Paolo following an arthroscopic surgery on his left knee at the Rio de Janeiro hospital on May 24, 2008.

And as a result of the treatments he is expecting to return to soccer in 15 days.

Kaka, recipient of the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2007, started with the Sao Paulo FC in 2001 before joining AC Milan in 2003.

He has registered 162 appearances for the Milan team where he scored 54 goals.

Kaká's divine abilities can redeem Chelsea Kaka Leite

Kaká's divine abilities can redeem Chelsea Kaka Leite

Kaká would bring much needed imagination and class to Chelsea, on and off the pitch

On a mild Milan day in May 2007, the World Player of the Year, Kaká, who Chelsea's new head coach, Luiz
Felipe Scolari, has 'personally requested the club sign', was
discussing Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson's team were about to meet Milan
at the San Siro for the return game of the Champions League semi-final, holding
a 3-2 lead. In the opening leg at Old Trafford Kaká had scored twice to give Milan
vital away goals. Now, the devout evangelical Christian, who suffered a career-threatening
spinal injury when he was 18 and donated the 2007 World Player of the Year trophy
to a São Paulo church named Renascer (which means reborn), offered this assessment
of United: 'With players like Cristiano Ronaldo they perform in the Brazil way.
Even more than Arsenal.'

From the boy from Brasilia who later that week destroyed United with yet another
of the deceptively languid displays of artistry for which he is renowned - he scored
the opening goal as Milan swept to a 3-0 victory, before masterminding the 2-1 success
against Liverpool in the Champions League final in Athens - that was some compliment.

But it also offered a clue why Scolari, who gave him his international debut against Bolivia in January
2002 in the year Big Phil led his country to their fifth World
Cup, is so keen to sign Kaká, despite the official denial from Stamford Bridge that
they have made an offer for the player. For Kaká, Scolari and millions of their
countrymen, football is a game of attack that should teem with the simple purity
of flick, pass, and move. 'Brazilian football is much different from Italian,' Kaká
says. 'It's a more complicated game here.'

It is precisely a thirst for this smoothly exhilarating football invented by Brazil,
which can ravage teams and comes so natural to Kaká, that might finally lead Roman Abramovich to countenance the kind of signing his riches have always threatened
but not yet delivered. Since he bought the club in 2003, the Russian
billionaire has spent more than £500m on Chelsea, but has never yet landed a superstar with
an already stellar career that could still ascend to a further high. Of Abramovich's many purchases, it was arguably Kaká's former team-mate at Milan, Andriy Shevchenko,
who arrived with the biggest reputation, having won the Champions League and been
voted European Footballer of the Year. But the Ukraine striker was nearly 30 when
he joined the club two summers ago and has done little to suggest his £30.9m fee
was good value.

Instead, Kaká has won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002, received his own Ballon
d'Or - also last year - and, crucially, is keen to leave the San Siro 'for a fresh
challenge', according to a close friend. 'He is loyal to Milan, but he needs to
leave to improve.' As he is only 26 years old, Chelsea would be acquiring a player
who hopes his very best years and performances are yet to arrive.

Joining Scolari, who is also a devout Christian, at Chelsea is certainly an intriguing
prospect. 'I will always be grateful to Big Phil because he was the first manager
to give me a chance in the national team,' Kaká says, before hinting that Scolari,
whatever the official denials, will get his man. 'But I do admire him for the way
he sticks to his plans regardless of the pressure from the media and the public.
He is also a winner and has proved so.'

Scolari, meanwhile, must be twinkling even more at the thought of how his first
days at Chelsea are unfolding. Last week he was quick with the jokes when unveiling
new right-back José Bosingwa and Deco, a gifted playmaker. Both have won Champions
League titles, when together at Porto in 2004, and know Scolari well having played
for him during the Brazilian's five years in charge of Portugal.

Kaká, though, elevates the vision of what may happen over the coming seasons for
Scolari and Chelsea beyond all previous imagination.

'His reading of the game is uncanny and it seems he has already thought of what
to do with the ball an hour before he even gets it,' Scolari says. 'I also admire
his behaviour outside the pitch. Kaká is serious and serene, something important
for a footballer in these days.'

It could also be vital in west London. Chelsea have hardly been loved during the
first half-decade of the Abramovich era. Patience with the posturing of former coach
José Mourinho thinned and the club's image as a bloated, cash-soaked machine that
lacks charm, has been hard to transform.

Kaká, a proud virgin in 2005 when he married childhood sweetheart Caroline Celico
and who comes from a middle-class family, could well be the driving force behind
a change.

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, who was born in Brasilia on 22 April 1982, began
life with myopia and a rare bone deficiency. His younger brother Rodrigo is also
on Milan's books. Their
father, Bosco, was an engineer - he is now Kaká's advisor
- who recalls how his elder son's academic abilities meant he was forced by his
first professional club, São Paulo, to choose 'between university and football'.

He has also proved resilient.
'When I was small, I really was small,' he says recalling
his difficult childhood. 'The doctors told me my body was about two years behind
in terms of development. And until I got contact lenses at age 13 I always wore
glasses. I really couldn't see without them.'

The family moved to São Paulo when Kaká was seven and three years later he joined
the club who play at the Morumbi Stadium, which was near his home.

'He stood out immediately,' says Milton Cruz, who coached Kaká from the age of 13
and is now São Paulo's assistant coach. 'He was so small and thin, but had talent.
He was intelligent, he could see connections, but was not strong enough.'

This was addressed at 14 when the club drew up a special diet and fitness routine.
'By 16 I'd filled out,' Kaká says. 'It's incredible how much I grew in such a short
space of time. And also I've now had laser surgery so my eyesight is better as well.'

In 2000, though, came a terrible back injury suffered while visiting his grandparents in Caldas Novas. 'I slipped on a swimming pool slide on a water-toboggan. When I
fell into the water I hit my head on the bottom of the pool and twisted
my neck, which caused a fracture of a vertebra. The doctors could never explain what happened.
With that kind of fracture, most cases end in paralysis. Yet somehow the vertebra
broke without causing paralysis. And then, after much work, it healed perfectly.

'The doctors were shocked. All they could do was tell me how lucky I was. I don't
see it as luck, I see it as God protecting me and saving me from what would have
been a life-changing injury.'

Miraculously, Kaká had recovered by the following January and rapidly began his
rise to prominence. 'Until he turned 19, Kaká was unknown beyond his club,' says
Breno Tannuri, his former lawyer. Two years earlier he had also failed to catch
Arsène Wenger's eye when the Arsenal manager watched a São Paulo under-17s match.
'The first time people started to take notice was in the final of the Copa Rio between
São Paulo and Botafogo in 2001,' Tannuri says. 'He came off the bench and scored
two fantastic goals to help win the game.'

A year later came his international debut, then a first goal for Brazil against
Iceland in March and he was a member of Scolari's squad that triumphed in South
Korea and Japan. Having made a single appearance in the tournament, Kaká ran on
to the pitch following Brazil's 2-0 victory over Germany in the final in Yokohama
wearing the 'I belong to Jesus' T-shirt he has become synonymous with. But, he says,
'I don't pray for victory. It may be tempting to some, but I don't ever do that.
That's not something we should expect God to get involved in. It would be abusing
our relationship
with him. I do pray that he gives me the possibility to do well,
but then, once I am given the chance, it's up to me to do it. And, of course, I
pray that neither I nor my team-mates, nor my opponents, get injured.'

The move to Milan came in the summer of 2003, ending three years at São Paulo that
gave him 23 goals in 59 league appearances. Milan paid £5m - 'peanuts' as owner
Silvio Berlusconi memorably said - and his five years at the San Siro have so far
yielded 54 goals in 162 Serie A appearances, a Scudetto, the Champions League, the
European Super Cup and the Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Kaká's international record
stands at 22 goals from 59 matches.

If Chelsea do sign him - though Milan are also denying the story, a representative
from the club is thought to have been in London to meet the Stamford Bridge hierarchy
- they may finally have landed a player and man who could dramatically alter the
common perception of the club.

His favourite passage from the Bible comes from Philippians 4:13 and reads: 'I can
do all
things through Christ which strengtheneth me.' He also says quite calmly:
'I am a radical. That's just the way I am. I have my life, I have my values. And,
compared to much of society, especially football, I am a radical. In fact, I'm very
radical.'

By all accounts Kaká is driven by these principles. Last New Year he and his wife
attended a celebration at the Renascer church along with hundreds of locals, while
100,000 watched and listened by television, radio and the internet.

This visit came despite the church being led by a preacher, named Estevam Hernandes,
who, with his wife Soa, was arrested in August 2007 while trying to go through customs in Miami carrying more than $56,000 (£28,000). Kaká has always refused to discuss
the incident, but has remained unswervingly loyal.

If Scolari does get his way, Kaká's sublime football skills and qualities away from
the game would only add a further dimension to watching the Premier League this
season.

Scolari and Kaka, a match made in Heaven - will the superstar who prefers Bible

kaka leite

Scolari and Kaka, a match made in Heaven - will the superstar who prefers Bible
to nightclubs bring sexy football to Chelsea?

The man who would be charged with bringing sexy football to Roman Abramovich's Chelsea
is a 26-year-old Christian who prefers Bible studies and church meetings to nightclubs
and alcohol and was, famously, a virgin when he married his wife, Caroline Celico.

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, better known as Kaka, is a man born to defy football's
stereotypes and, on the surface, an unlikely candidate to add a splash of glamour
to the hedonism traditionally associated with the club on the King's Road.

He even belies the familiar story of the poor boy who escapes Brazil's shanty towns
through his prowess at football. Far from being raised in poverty, Kaka was brought
up in a well-educated and stable family in a middle-class suburb of Sao Paulo. His
father, Bosco Izecson Pereira Leite, was a civil engineer and his mother, Simone
Cristina dos Santos Leite, worked as a teacher.

Now the God-fearing Kaka has become the man chosen by Abramovich, Chelsea's Russian
billionaire owner, to fulfil his ambition to bring a touch of footballing fantasy
to the club that is his plaything.

But if Chelsea can persuade AC Milan to part with the best player in the world,
it will surely have as much to do with the lure of the club's new manager, Luiz
Felipe Scolari, as with the multi-million pound deal. It is not simply that the
careers of the two Brazilians have dovetailed in the past, when Scolari, as manager
of the Brazil national team, gave Kaka his international debut against Bolivia in
2002 and then included the 20-year-old as a reserve in his World Cup-winning squad.

Nor is it just that they share a common culture and language. But, like many Brazilians,
they are deeply religious men, even if they come from opposite ends of the Brazilian
Christian spectrum.

Kaka, nicknamed by his younger brother, Rodrigo, when he struggled to say Ricardo
properly, is a member of the Reborn in Christ Church in Sao Paulo, which hosts thousands
of worshippers at its modern services and is typical of the fast-growing Pentecostal
churches in Brazil.

Scolari, 43 years older than Kaka, will be a kindred spirit even though he comes
from a more traditional Catholic background.

Despite his apparent disinclination for turning the other cheek - he once punched
Serbia defender Ivica Dragutinovic during the qualifiers for Euro 2008 - he is a
follower of Our Lady of Caravaggio, a devotion surrounding the reported appearance
of the Virgin Mary at the Italian village in the 15th century.

Our Lady of Caravaggio also has a shrine in Scolari's home state of Rio Grande do
Sul, in the south of Brazil, and where the Chelsea manager made a pilgrimage to
give thanks after leading Brazil to the World Cup in 2002. When managing Portugal,
he placed statues in the dressing room of our lady of Carravagio and of our lady
of Fatima, which represents a 20th century tradition of a reported appearance of
the Virgin Mary in a Portuguese village.

It is said that Luis Figo prayed by the shrines during the penalty shootout against
England in the 2006 World Cup quarter-final which, of course, Portugal won.

Indeed, when Brazil won the World Cup in 2002, the entire squad and backroom staff,
including Kaka and Scolari, joined hands in a circle and knelt to give thanks to
God for their success.

While it may be harsh to prejudge them, it is hard to imagine Chelsea captain John
Terry leading his teammates in a similar ritual should Scolari lead his team to
the title Kaka, who showed off a T-shirt proclaiming 'I belong to Jesus' when winning
the Champions League with Milan in 2007, represents part of the explosion in charismatic,
evangelical churches in Catholic Brazil, where 26 million people, or 15 per cent
of the population, now classify themselves as Protestants, according to the 2000
census.

Kaka is open about following the traditional teaching of the Church, most notably
in his attitude towards sex.

In an interview with Vanity Fair magazine last year he spoke about how he and his
wife, who was born into a well-off family and the daughter of the woman who represents
Dior in Brazil - remained chaste before their marriage in 2005. 'The Bible teaches
that true love waits until marriage,' said Kaka. 'If our life today is so beautiful,
I think it is because we waited.'

Caroline, who last month gave birth to their first child, Lucas, would always attend
with Kaka on the rare occasions when he did visit nightclubs in Milan, which the
player said helped him to avoid the temptation of female attention.

But he prefers to read rather than party and is keen to study theology and become
a minister after his football career. 'It's not so easy to apply to today's society
things that were written thousands of years ago,' he said. 'But that's exactly the
job of a minister - to make the teaching of the Bible relevant.'

Kaka is said to give 10 per cent of his income to his own church in Sao Paulo and
last December he presented the church with his FIFA World Player of the Year trophy,
which is now displayed in an exhibition dedicated to the player and his faith at
the conference-hall style church.

He remained loyal despite a scandal that engulfed the church's leaders, Estevam
Hernandes Filho and Sonia Haddad Moraes Hernandes.

The married couple were sentenced to five months in prison in the United States
last year after breaching US customs regulations by failing to declare $56,467 in
cash that they were importing to Miami. They are also being investigated by Brazilian
authorities for financial malpractice.

However, the incident does not seem to have affected Kaka's faith. He is a member
of Brazil's Athletes for Christ, which includes fellow World Cup winners such as
Edmilson and Lucio, and talks candidly about his faith. 'I was born into an evangelical
Christian home,' he has said. 'But when I was baptised in 1994, something supernatural
happened to me.

'I cannot explain it, but after that experience I got closer to God; more in tune
with him. At that moment I was really born spiritually. I began to know God more
in depth, and I've learned that faith works within the limits of the circumstances.'

Key to the deepening faith of Kaka appears to be an incident that might have ended
his burgeoning football career at Sao Paulo FC, but instead - due to good luck or
providence - only briefly interrupted his rise. 'It happened in October of 2000,'
he said. 'I had gone to visit my grandparents and I slipped on a swimming pool slide.

'When I fell into the water I hit my head on the bottom of the pool and twisted
my neck, which caused a fracture of the vertebrae.

'The doctors said that I was lucky to be able to even walk normally. They were talking
about luck and my family was talking about God. Back at home we always thanked God
because we knew that it was His hand that had saved and protected me.'

The majority of Chelsea fans no doubt remain unmoved by such religious sensibilities.
They will just be fervently praying that the world's greatest player really is coming
to Stamford Bridge.

Kaka Leite Biography

Biography
Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite was born on April 22, 1982, in Brasilia, Brazil. His younger brother, Rodrigo, reportedly had difficulties pronouncing "Ricardo" as a small child and called him Kaka instead -- a nickname that became his professional alias.

When Kaka was 19 years old, he made his professional debut with the Brazilian soccer team Sao Paulo FC. He was an immediate success, scoring 12 goals in his first season and earning the title of Top Player from the 2002 Brazilian Championship.

In 2003, Kaka moved to the world-renowned Italian team AC Milan for a deal worth approximately €8.5 million (roughly US $10.6 million). He quickly proved to be a valuable asset to the club, helping his teammates to victory at the European Super Cup and the Italian Serie A Championship during his first season.

Kaka also proved instrumental in Brazil’s success at the 2004 Copa America and the 2005 Confederations Cup. It goes without saying that Brazil’s presence at the 2006 World Cup is due in no small part to Kaka’s almost preternatural abilities.

Kaka married his longtime girlfriend Caroline Celico in 2005, and though he’s achieved a lot of fame and success in an extremely short amount of time, Kaka reportedly remains a humble and thankful figure who doesn’t take anything for granted.
