Kaka: "My dream was to succeed at Real Madrid and no hurdles will stop me from doing that now"

Kaka spoke to the press about his great start to the season during the presentation of a video-game.

"I'm happy now, not just for yesterday's match, but also for the start to the season I had against Zaragoza. I'm enjoying playing football again. I want to achieve great things with this team. I knew good times would be back any day and that I'd soon return to being in top form. The pitch doesn't seem to be that big anymore. I move better and feel fine again."

"Madridistas have supported me at all times. They always told me I would be successful here and now they are enjoying watching me play. I've had good times at this club. I now wish to have more of them and to have continuity. The coach decides what's best for Real Madrid and I'm making good use of the chances I get."

"Real Madrid's objective is to reach the Champions League final and win its tenth European Cup title. It won't be easy, but we have the coach and the group of players needed to achieve this."

"I never wanted to leave the club. Neither the club nor the coach wanted to me to leave either. My dream was to succeed at Real Madrid and no hurdles will stop me from doing that now. I feel in debt with Madridismo and that's another reason I didn't want to leave. I wish to pay Madridistas back for their affection during difficult times."

Kaka's goal vs Ajax

Real Madrid Vs Ajax Amsterdam 3-0 All Goals Highlights Uefa Champions Le...

Real Madrid 3-0 Ajax Amsterdam

Whites score opener after fantastic team effort by Ramos, Ozil, Kaka, Benzema and Ronaldo; the Brazilian netted the second strike and assisted Benzema in the third

Real Madrid defeated Ajax 3-0 in their first Champions League match at the Bernabeu this season. The victory served the Whites to remain leaders in Group D. Kaka gave a stellar performance, scoring the team's second goal and assisting Benzema in the third.

Ozil and Kaka made the starting lineup. Arbeloa replaced Marcelo, who was suspended for the match, and Varane took the injured Pepe's spot. Boerrigter forced Casillas to make an impressive save only 45 seconds into the game. The Whites reacted and Benzema nearly scored an opener from inside the box on the 16-minute mark, but his shot was off target. The most impressive effort of the evening came in the 24th minute: Ramos stole the ball and passed it to Ozil, who then served it to Cristiano; the Portuguese player gave it to Kaka and the Brazilian sent it back Ronaldo's way; the striker gave it to Ozil, who in turn passed it to Benzema in order to assist Cristiano inside the box in the team's first goal.

Ajax suffered from this spectacular team effort and they hardly left they're half of the pitch then onwards. De Boer's men hardly pressurised the Whites and it proved to be a fatal mistake. The locals scored their second strike on the 40-minute mark: Alonso served a long pass to Ronaldo and he passed it to Kaka, who was approaching the area line and managed to score a beauty.

Real tallied their third and final goal in the 48th minute: Arbeloa entered the box and passed the ball to Kaka, who avoided the goalkeeper's exit before leaving the ball for Benzema to send to the back of the net. Kaka's performance was truly spectacular and was replaced amidst a standing ovation by Di Maria in the 74th minute.

Benzema had to leave the pitch at the same time due to an injury and was replaced by Higuain. Ajax hardly had any chances on Casillas' goal, but the few they managed to pull off really put Casillas' reflexes to the test. The keeper was forced to prodigiously save a header by Vertonghen, proving yet again why he is considered to be the best in the world.

The final minutes of the encounter saw Hamit Altintop making his debut with the team now that he has recovered from his back injury. It was the perfect ending to a magical night at the Bernabeu.

Man Of the Match: iker Casillas & ricardo Kaka

Casillas: "Cristiano's goal came from a beautiful team effort"

Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas addressed the media after the match against Ajax and showed his satisfaction with the team's performance.

"Ajax looked to have chances to score and to keep possession. They were a serious and solid opponent. We played rather well and I think all of those who play make it difficult for the coach to choose. Ricardo (Kaka) played very well and that's what matters: that a player is in good form to help the team."

"We pulled off fast counterattacks, which allowed us to have many chances on goal. Cristiano scored from a beautiful team effort. We did rather well."
"We must be calm and win our home games. We must now think about our matches against Espanyol and Olympique Lyonnais. By defeating the latter we would have a foot in the next round."

"We're human and make mistakes. I'm delighted to receive the fans' affection. I will assume my mistakes and try to smile when they happen."
"Real Madrid feel pressure to win this championship since we won our ninth European Cup title. We can win our tenth, but it won't be easy and we have to face up to every encounter. We will fight for it, but it won't be easy."

Kaka: "I want to succeed at Real Madrid"

Kaka scored a goal against Ajax and was one of the most prominent players in the team's 3-0 victory over the Dutch side. The midfielder shared his views on the match in the mixed zone.

"I'm enjoying football again. I don't feel any physical problems any more. I feel magnificently well and I'm sure I will continue to improve. I want to succeed on this team"

"We feel good about the game.  We gave a very good performance and obtained a good victory. We must keep this up. The team responded well to our previous complicated results in the league. We now want to defeat Espanyol and stay on this victorious streak."
"Our next Champions League match will be against Olympique Lyonnais at the Bernabeu. It will be important for us to win in order to seal our pass and leave our opponents to fight for qualifying for the next round."

Real Madrid vs Ajax

Tomorrow is the game & even Good news Kaka in the squad!. 

All players including Kaka enjoying & having great time at training.

The 20 men available to the coach divided into three groups. Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Albiol, Varane, Xabi Alonso, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuain and Ozil tackled mild recovery exercises and jogged around the pitch.

Di Maria, Lass, Benzema, Khedira, Granero, Arbeloa, Callejon and Altintop tackled more intense workouts with and without the ball. Meanwhile, Casillas, Adan and Tomas Mejias trained with goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro.

Mourinho: “Kaka and Ozil transformed a situation of risk into a positive scenario for the team"

"Kaka and Ozil played closer to the goal. We didn't have a true number '10' on the pitch, but there were three excellent playmakers out there. We started pulling off more efforts. It's a shame I had to replace Kaka when we were down to ten men because he was giving a very good performance


Kaka and Ozil have to be prepared both physically and mentally to adapt to play closer to midfield. It isn't easy for them to do this for 90 minutes. It's risky. They have to be fit and aware that Xabi Alonso can't play alone in midfield for 90 minutes. They both responded very well. They created ball movement and covered Rayo's exits. They played well. It was a situation of risk but they transformed it into a positive scenario for the team."

Kaka: "It's tough to concede a goal at the start of a game, but we showcased character"

Ricardo Kaka shared his satisfaction with tonight's match with the media.

"We didn't play very well in the opening 20 minutes, but I believe we did after that. It's tough to concede a goal at the start of a game, but we showcased character."

"It's difficult to play a perfect home game after playing badly in two consecutive fixtures. This result has helped us recover our confidence. I personally felt great. I try to make good use of the chances I get." 

"I believe referees should correct their mistakes and decide fairly both for us and our opponents. They have to be more coherent in their decisions."

Real Madrid 6-2 Rayo Vallecano

With midfielder Kaka among the holders, Real Madrid managed to breathe easily on Saturday. With a great offensive performance of the sector, the team thrashed Rayo Vallecano in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium by 6-2 and reached the ten points in the standings. Now, the team temporarily ranked third in the tournament, behind only Sevilla and Real Betis. The Rayo remains five points combined.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had not scored since the 4-2 victory over Racing on September 10, broke his fast and was the main highlight of the match to record three goals.

To get the easy victory, however, from Madrid had to go through a scare before. In the first minute of play, the Rayo Valencano opened the scoring. Striker Michu, taking advantage of goalkeeper Casillas rebound, put the ball in and silenced the home crowd.

Real, needing to win to not sink into a crisis, the opponents went up the equalizer and came close on some throws. At 31 minutes, Higuain scored, but the impediment of arbitration appointed Argentine striker and nullified the goal. Soon, however, for the owners of the house tie, this time without hindrance. At 38 minutes, Kaka drew a quick counter-attack and found the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo on the left. Striker risked the kick and tied the game for Real, which at that time showed superiority in the field.

The equalizer animated Jose Mourinho's team, which turned the game before the break.Xabi Alonso went to Sergio Ramos, who found Higuain free only to push the empty net.

In return for the second time, it took the hosts to extend the lead. Again, Kaka had a hand in the play. After more than a counterattack in the fifth minute, the Brazilian midfielder was fouled in the area. Cristiano Ronaldo penalty that turned and made 3-1. But four minutes later, Rayo Vallecano and decreased again to scare the scoring again with Michu in a bid doubtful. The atacente put the ball inside, and Casillas tried to save when the ball had crossed the line. Arbitration validated the try.

To worsen the situation briefly Madrilenian, Di Maria midfielder was sent off after taking a second yellow card. However, the team know how to manage the game and even with a less managed to distance himself from the marker. Varano defender took a cross in the area and, with much class, made an amazing goal heel, his first goal with the shirt of the team in an international competition.

Six minutes later, the French Benzema, who came on for Higuain, enlarged the bullet after deadly counter-attack and gave final numbers from the start. At 38, Ronaldo still managed to score his third goal of the game, the sixth of the Real, converting a penalty after he himself suffered.

In the next round, Real Madrid visit Espanyol on Sunday (October 2), Rayo Vallecano while also playing away from home against Racing Santander.

Ricardo Kaka vs Levante

Kaka showed a impressive game against Levante

Kaka was on fire on the pitch in last game. He  played really good as tweeted by Real Madrid itself that:
@ Kaka is playing very very well tonight! GREAT KAKA! #realmadrid#lift

Levante 1-0 Real Madrid

Khedira and Kaka made the starting lineup instead of Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo. Real Madrid went for a victory from the get-go and the Brazilian shone having two chances on goal: the first ended in a corner kick (11') and the second was saved by keeper Munua (12').

Possession was 86% for the Whites by the 19th minute. Benzema nearly scored from a goalie clearance in the 33rd minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Real continued to dominate until Juanlu challenged Di Maria from behind in front of a linesman (38'). The ref didn't call a foul and this kickstarted a brawl that resulted in Khedira being sent off with a second booking (39').

After half-time, Mourinho replaced Benzema with Cristiano, moved Coentrao back to the centre midfielder position, and left Kaka and Di Maria in attack with Ronaldo. Real kept looking for a goal, but the match was stained by continuous theatricalities and fouls that kept bringing the game to a halt. The ref failed to award a penalty on the 63-minute mark for a handball by Iborra inside the box, that would have also been a second booking for the player and would have therefore left Levante with ten men.

The locals then used a counterattack to score the only strike of the evening: Javi Venta reached the box after a run down the right wing and assisted Kone, who defeated Casillas with a powerful shot. Higuain came on for Kaka (59') and a few minutes later Marcelo was replaced by Ozil. Madrid gave their all looking for an equaliser and knowing their efforts in attack could very well result in another strike against them. Levante continued to defend fiercely and won the day.

Carol Celico- "Always try emphasizes the possibility of a mistake of mine"

Women's soccer star Kaka, Caroline Celico talks about his new CD and DVD, her husband's career, life of mother and the couple's recent break with the Church Reborn, involved in crimes of embezzlement.

 

Caroline Celico was just a teenager of 15 years when he met and fell in love with soccer star Kaka, who at age 20, began to shine at Sao Paulo. The two soon geared a courtship that won a complication: Kaka was sold to AC Milan of Italy in 2003. The young woman, then 16, faced a long distance courtship and deepened in biblical studies at Reborn in Christ Church - whose founders, the couple Estevam and Sonia Hernandes, it is serving a sentence for crimes of embezzlement, money laundering, forgery and . 

Young, pretty and successful, Kaka and Carol formed the perfect couple. Both virgins married in December 2005, and she finally can move to Milan at the end of 2007, after being diagnosed with polycystic ovaries, was found pregnant. In June 2008 Luca was born, the couple's first child. 

The following year, with the signing of Kaka to Real Madrid, Carol moved again, this time to the Spanish capital, and in 2010, Isabella became pregnant again. 

Today age 24, after breaking with the Church Reborn, Caroline remains faithful to the Christian dogma. The launch of the CD and DVD that bear his name was a new step for Carol, who, despite the success of sales, said it will not show. Check out the following excerpts from the interview given by e-mail in which she avoided talking about the scandals of the church Hernandes.

Singing has always been part of your life? The experience helped in the church? 
I love music. She has always been part of my life, especially with classical piano, I have studied since childhood. I also tried to learn guitar and drums, but piano has always fascinated me more. 

Your website is very complete, and you and Kaka are very active on Twitter. The technology allows fans to feel closer to you? 
technology allows us all to be closer. Kaká is closer to the kids when traveling and I also brought me closer to my family in Brazil. With the fans is the same thing. 

There will be shows to CD / DVD? Why? 
Because my goal was never to do shows. Artists present their work to demonstrate and live it. I used the music to enable people to get closer to God. This was the goal. I'm not an artist and I'm not building a singing career. 

And the duet with Claudia Leitte? How did it happen? 
thought it would be very interesting to have a partnership with a person of the pop universe, but with the same feelings I had about God. I watched a DVD of a show of it and thought how beautiful bold and honest with what she said about God so subtly. It had everything to do with the project I was imagining. When I came in contact, we identify a lot. Evil came to details and she had accepted the partnership. 

As convince Kaka singing? He had already had some experience before? 
It was not as difficult as I imagined. He agreed that if it was a song for me, there would be no better voice to interpret it. It was a great proof of love that moved me a lot. 

How to deal with the fame of her husband? 
I met him when he was in his early career. He never let fame change him and it brought a lot of simplicity in the way we deal with it. My mother has always been exposed to the media for being an executive of the luxury market, so I'm used early to separate things. Fame is never a problem. The problem is how people can have their hearts changed by it. 

You and Kaka are some kind of role model for young couples around the world. It's hard to live with this burden? 
I always try to emphasize the possibility of a mistake of mine to avoid frustrations. When we expect too much, or we put our hope in men (in the sense of humanity), are disappointed. It is a great privilege to serve as an example in our life choices and love of God, but we are human. Only Jesus is perfect. 

At a time when so many murders in the name of different religions, it is difficult to keep the faith? 
I think faith in God through Jesus is consummated, all with the principles of love and forgiveness. I do not share the idea of killing to force someone to understand a message but do not judge. Each has responsibility for their choices.It's hard to say what is right or wrong. According to the Bible, "faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." What we see with human eyes can not change our faith. 

You recently left the Church Reborn. Much has changed in your life? The important thing is to keep the faith regardless of religion then? 
not changed our principles or values. We reflect and understand the most important thing is to believe and place our faith in God. We know that only God can justify us and bring us peace and joy. 

's life has been good mother? I read that as a teenager, you would like to butt heads with her. It has been prepared for when this happens with the Luca and Isabella? 
Actually, no one liked to butt heads with parents, but it is natural to have disagreements at some point in life. With my mother was intolerant in adolescence, lack of patience and acceptance. I'm not prepared to live this with my children in God and hope to have the wisdom to deal with difficult situations like this. 

There is a desire to return to Brazil? Life is very different in Europe? 
Life in Europe is very similar to what we have in Brazil. It is in Brazil that are our family and childhood friends of a lifetime. That's what makes us dumber and miss our country. 

If Kaka does not play again in Brazil before the end of his career, you come back after retirement? They want to raise their children here? 
We love Brazil, we intend to one day go back and create them there, but we do not know when.

 

The trajectory of the couple model

 
2002. At 15, Caroline Celico know Kaka, then 20. The two logos begin dating, and she joins the Reborn in Christ Church

in 2005. Kaka, now in Milan (Italy), Carol asks in marriage during a trip to Venice. After the ceremony, she moves to Milan

Thanks for reading our blog!

Kaka: "Mourinho has faith in me"

Kaka only needed four minutes to score what could well be Real Madrid's most beautiful strike of their six in the match against Zaragoza. The midfielder talked shop with Realmadrid.com and RealmadridTV, discussing Jose Mourinho and his hopes for the present campaign.

How do you feel after scoring a goal against Zaragoza?

I feel very well. I’m happy to start the league like that. It’s good for me because I had a bad start to last season due to the surgery I was subjected to. Starting the present campaign with a victory, a goal and playing time is great.

What did that goal mean to you?

It gives me hope because there was a lot of talk regarding me leaving Real Madrid this summer and it seemed to put an end to all that speculation. The goal encourages me to have a good season and to help the club have one too.

All your teammates celebrated the strike with you…

Our unity is obvious in every game and with every goal celebration. My strike was the fifth that night and we all celebrated together. Things like that make us stronger as a group.

You scored and served an assist in few minutes on the pitch. Does performing like that boost your morale?

Giving such a performance does build your confidence. To have such confidence from the first match of the league is important in order to have continuity, to play more minutes and to gradually reach optimum form.

All your teammates said you have to be an important player on the team.

My teammates help me a lot. They did so when things were tough for me and they’re happy now that things are working out. That’s how I feel and it explains what they all said after the match. It motivates me even more to know my teammates love me.

Mourinho said he likes knowing he’s got a player like you by his side. That must mean a lot coming from him…

It does. He’s always had faith in me. He could have said he didn’t want me anymore, that the club should look for another team for me. He believes I can help the team considerably. The rest of the coaching staff does too. Rui Faria, Karanka, Morais, Louro and the rest of his staff help me and give me strength to keep improving.

Do you feel you have the coach’s confidence?

I do. Mourinho believes I can improve and help the team. It’s good to know he’s aware that I’m by his side. I’m going to fight to continue to be there, but also to be a starter.

How do you see the team?

I think it’s doing great. We prepared well this summer and that’s what really counts. We played very well against Barcelona in both games and our first league game proved we prepared well for the season. This is crucial in order for a team to be successful in a long season in which so much is at stake.

What do you feel Real Madrid can achieve this year?

We all feel something important will happen. We believe we’ll win something that will make fans, players and all those who love Real Madrid very happy.

What do you expect on a personal level?

I hope to enjoy football and to find personal success at Real Madrid. The fans and I want to see the best Kaka in action. That’s what I wish for this season.

Do you picture Cibeles after having a great season both on a personal and collective level?

All those who play for Real Madrid dream of that. We were there last season to celebrate the Copa del Rey title. I hope to return this year to celebrate a more important and historical victory.

Mourinho and Casillas say there are no untouchable players on the team and that no one on the squad should believe they are…

That’s good for the team because positive competition makes players improve. There are more or less two players for every position and those who are currently on the bench should know they could be starters too. This motivates the team and allows it to grow.

What would you say to the fans?

I would like to thank them for the support and strength they give me on the streets. They always say they want to see the best Kaka in action. Many asked me to stay this summer, they didn’t want me to leave Real Madrid. I also wish to tell them I will do my best to be successful on this team. I’m sure I will be.
