Real Madrid European Cup matches are not attended by Kaka and Mourinho



Real Madrid will begin their quest for a 10th European Cup without Kaka and coach Jose Mourinho against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday in the Spanish club's opening group stage match of the Champions League.

Kaka will not make the trip to Zagreb because of a reported heel injury, while Mourinho serves the second of a three-match ban resulting from an outburst during the ill-tempered semifinal series against Barcelona last season.

Kaka came on as a substitute in Madrid's 4-2 win over Getafe on Saturday and has struggled to dislodge Mesut Oezil from the starting 11 this season. Midfielders Lassana Diarra and Sami Khedira are both included in the 21-man squad.

Madrid's excellent start to the season makes it the favorite to win Group D, which also includes Lyon and Ajax.

While Madrid has won Europe's top club competition a record nine times, its last victory came from Zinedine Zidane's memorable goal in 2002.

Mourinho guided Madrid to the semifinals last season and has promised further success in his second year in charge — a Champions League or Spanish league trophy is the minimum expected after a Copa del Rey victory in his debut season.

"He, like all of us, want more this season. We want to take it up a level," said Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who marks 12 years in the first team this week. "He's given us more character and made us more ambitious. It's always good to have a coach with character and with ambition to work hard because that feeds hunger into the changing room."

Khedira will return for the first time since last month's Spanish Supercopa, while midfielder Esteban Granero also returned from injury on Saturday. Midfielders Hamit Altintop (back) and Nuri Sahin (knee) remain sidelined.

Dinamo will be playing in Europe's elite competition for the first time since 1999. Former Dinamo and Real Madrid striker Davor Suker expects midfielder Milan Badelj to lead the attack for an ambitious Croatian side.

"They are very capable of scoring goals," Suker said. "It's a young team that fears no rival and wants to demonstrate its quality, and they deserve to be in Europe after 12 years out of the Champions League."

Ajax coach Frank de Boer conceded that Madrid is likely to win the group, saying his team was fighting for second place and advancement.

Ajax, which is undefeated and leads the Dutch league, has no major injuries to worry about, so De Boer said the team will stick with its usual fluent passing style in an attempt to neutralize the threat from Lyon.

"The first match is crucial. We can take a big step toward progressing, preferably in the Champions League," De Boer said. "We are going to play to our strengths. There's no point in changing our style."

Lyon, meanwhile, beat Dijon 2-1 Saturday to stay unbeaten in the French league.

The French side will be without center back Cris (hamstring) and striker Lisandro Lopez (ankle), while playmaker Yoann Gourcuff has yet to play due to a bothersome ankle injury.

Chelsea is still interested in Kaka

While Jose Mourinho has decided to give a second chance to Kaka, Real Madrid's Brazilian footballer is still one of the Chelsea's options to strengthen its midfield, especially if English team misses its attempt to sign Tottenham's Croatian player Luka Modric.

The British media link the future of both players, and the continued interest from Chelsea for Kaka has been reactivated after Tottenham has rejected his latest bid for Modric. Roman Abramovich's club could have offered 30 million euros, five million more than the initial offering of 25, made ​​only a month ago and also rejected by the Spurs.

At the moment, Tottenham remains firm in its stance and has said publicly that the player is not transferable, although Modric has shown his willingness to change of scenery. Thus, while Chelsea will not raise its offer, it seems that nothing will change, what has meant that the new coach of the 'Blues', Andre Villas-Boas, is weighing the possibility of changing the target and try the signing of Kaka, whose play has always enjoyed an extraordinary fame in Stamford Brigde, especially since the stage of Carlo Ancelotti.

Note: Galatasaray dreams of signing Kaka

Galatasaray is one of the most active teams in European football market, a market with little movement so far. The club seeks to recover lost positions in Turkey first and later in Europe, and is attentive to the movements around the main figures that change of 'air'. Turkish team has 'touched' at various big names and tried to take from Atletico Forlan, Reyes and Ujfalusi, but only had luck with the Czech defense. Now the coach, Fatih Terim, has said he wants a powerful template because is impossible to fight for titles with a group too young. His dream, to restore prominence to Galatasaray, is Kaka, whose status is not still being fully defined at Real Madrid.

The Brazilian, who has failed to show his best since joining Real Madrid has sounded for several teams in Italy and England. Napoli has been one of the last interested although the operation was impossible because the squad in southern Italy wanted a loan in which the Real Madrid will have to take too much of the salary of the player. Real Madrid would only accept a financial offer high enough to recover the investment made two seasons ago to get Kaka.

Inter Milan offers 30 million euros for Kaka

Inter Milan are looking for a star signing for next season and has chosen to Kaka. The interest comes from long ago, but has been in the last week when was decided to get hold of the services of the Brazilian. Neroazzurro team has already initiated contacts with Real Madrid and has started the bidding with an offer of 30 million euros which is insufficient for Madrid that evaluates it, being only the first touchdown. Madrid believes that if Inter really wants the Brazilian, will put more money on the table.

Inter Milan bidding for Kaka
Kaka

Real Madrid, for now, merely listens to offers, but has already made ​​it clear that the price of Kaka is 40 million euros. The handled figures in the white club are quite simple. The Brazilian's salary is 10 million per season and has four years remaining of the contract, so they look for a transaction in which the player does not depreciate too much becuase they paid 67 million.

"To lose money with Kaka, we stay with him", say from the offices of the Bernabeu Stadium every time the name of the Brazilian goes to scene. Because Kaka's case is complicated. There are many people within the organization who believe that the 8 of Madrid is recoverable, but weigh more the two years in which his performance has been more than disappointing. So the conclusion is that they only will sell the player, if there is a good bid, such as the Inter's. Otherwise, player will remain on the white template, cause the player does not bother to Mourinho.

Although Milan, Chelsea, Manchester City, Sao Paulo and Corinthians are interested in Kaka, currently the only formal proposal that has come to the Bernabeu is the Inter's. And is that few clubs in the world are prepared to take the high salary of the Brazilian. In fact, only the City and Inter have enough money, since even Abramovich's team is tightening the belt in the wages of the players.

In this operation, which has only just begun, has not been put on the table the name of Maicon. The Brazilian does not matter, in principle, to Real Madrid, that for the defense, just thinks about Fabio Coentrao, who can play at right side. In addition, Madrid does not thinks on exchanges of players. If the Brazilian midfielder leaves Madrid, will be for a good amount of money that would be used to mitigate the paid of the signing of striker, whether Neymar or Aguero, will be around 45 million euros.

Bosco Leite: "Kaka is not going anywhere"

Bosco Leite, Kaka's father and agent, yesterday afternoon held a meeting at the offices of Milan with the vice president of the "rossoneri" club, Adriano Galliani, the sporting director of the entity, Ariedo Braida, and the coach of the team, Massimiliano Allegri.

The main topic of conversation during this meeting with friends, was the future of Kaka. Galliani is very concerned by reports that place the Brazilian player at Inter, Milan's arch rival. Bosco Leite assured him privately that the player will remain in Madrid and at the exit of office confirmed it publicly: "Kaka is not going anywhere".

The interest of Milan for Kaka's situation is not new. In fact, the Italian club is always aware of what might happen with the Brazilian player, because in a sentimental level, the player is considered theirs. Think of him as a child who has gone abroad to study at another club and the last thing they would want is to see him on the colors of the Inter.

In Milan, speculates that Bosco Leite and Galliani had reached an agreement whereby the player's father will immediately notify the club if the player leaves Real Madrid. Thus Milan would have preference for Kaka keeping in mind the economic situation.

Meanwhile, Kaka has repeatedly stated his desire to continue in Real Madrid. The last was on June 10, after the birthday of his son: "The truth is that I want to stay in Madrid. I know I have not met expectations and I would like to improve, so I take it as a personal goal".

Interview: Kaka

KAKA: "IT WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT YEAR IN MY CAREER"

Kaka, who is on vacation in Brazil, said in an interview with the newspaper "O Estado de Sao Paulo" that the last year has been the toughest of his career. He also assured that is a lie that is at odds with Mourinho: "He is very helpful". He confirms that will go to the Copa America and ensures that Neymar, who he considers the best talent in Brazil, will soon make the jump to Europe.

Kaka  interview in Brazil with a piano
Kaka

What is the balance of the season?
On a personal level was the hardest year of my career. Collectively I can say it was good. We won the Copa del Rey with Barcelona, ​​we reached the semifinal of the Champions League and finishing second in the league. It is not enough for a club the size of Real Madrid.

You were not 100% in the World Cup. Then you went on vacation and when you showed up at Real Madrid after two or three workouts, you had left knee surgery. Would have been better surgery before the summer of 2010?
The truth is I did not want to be operated again. I looked after the World Cup in Sao Paulo and the doctors told me I would need to operate. When I came to the United States showed the medical examinations of Real Madrid and went to a consultation with a specialist there, in Los Angeles, and he also said he would have an operation.

Clinically, are you cured? You still have a problem with the pubis or the knee?
In the pubic I feel nothing more, but the knee is not 100% because it was operated twice. I have to be always watching over me, always treating cartilage and muscle recovery.

Have you noticed any limitations?
I can not have continuity, but that is my problem, not technical decision. I need continuity during matches. In several games I was fine and in other I played erratically. Sometimes I felt I was flying and other tired.

Are you starting from scratch?
My hope is that, I have confidence. I hope to work with everyone without having to stop to take treatment. It's what I need to start well.

You recently said you are indebted to the fans of Real Madrid. Do you think you can pay it off next season?
I still did not match expectations. Not only the press and fans, not to mine. I hope and expect to do great things at Real Madrid. It's all about confidence. And unlike what they say, Mourinho has helped me a lot.

There is news that you would be mad at Mourinho for not playing more...
And they also say that he does not want me at Real Madrid. None of that is true. He has been very honest with me, consistent in their decisions, not only with me but with the team in general. I have only words of thanks.

There are many rumors about your future. Do you have a conviction that will continue in Madrid?
Honestly, that is my wish.

Is it guaranteed?
Before coming here, Mourinho told me to spend holidays quietly, he is waiting for me in the pre-season. My desire is to stay and I will stay.

What about Brazil national team? How were the talks with Menezes?
I had two very helpful conversations with him. One in October in Madrid and another by telephone in May. In the latter we conclude that it would be better not to go to the Copa America and take the time to recover. I want to return to the team, but first I have to play well in Madrid.

World Cup 2014 is your dream?
I hope to have that opportunity, but I do not know what condition I'll be here in three years.

What do you think about Ganso, Neymar and Lucas?
They'll be some time in Brazil. They have an impressive talent and will go far. Neymar I think is a bit ahead of the rest, but all three are excellent.

Moratti would accept the exchange Kaka-Maicon

Kaka and Maicon in exchange
Kaka and Maicon

Yesterday the Italian sports daily "La Gazzetta dello Sport" surprised everyone with a cover in which was assured that an exchange of players was brewing between Real Madrid and Inter Milan. Today the same media gives a further twist to the issue and says that Moratti would accept the exchange, Kaka for Maicon, but if Madrid takes part of the salary of the Brazilian midfielder.

Inter Milan president does not consider a problem to lose the Brazilian side, who is considered the best in the world in his position along with Dani Alves, but he is worried thinking about the 6 million euros net that Kaka earns per season in Real Madrid. So the most representative person of the Italian team could have asked Real Madrid to help him, if the operation goes ahead.

Remember that Kaka's salary was the reason why Milan ruled out any possibility of trying to sign Kaka few weeks ago, when following a statement by Berlusconi, was rumored over the interests of Italians to sign him. And today, there are very few teams in the world that can assume a salary so high, and most of those who can, if not all, are in the English Premiership.

Kaka in exchange for Maicon

Jose Mourinho could get this summer the player for who he fought last season and finally could not get. This is the Brazilian Maicon. According to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the Portuguese would have had a telephone conversation with Leonardo (Inter Milan coach) in which would have addressed the possible exchange of the side defender for Kaka. According to Italian newspaper, the Inter Milan president, Massimo Moratti, is not yet convinced of this plan, although the idea of ​​having the next season Kaka wearing the 'neroazzurri' shirt is something that seduces him a lot.

Maicon and Kaka

In any case, this information contradicts the news that to date had occurred on the continuity of Kaka at Real Madrid. The Brazilian has repeated several times that all he thinks about is to stay at Real Madrid and win in white, and as was said in the Spanish press, the player would have convinced Mourinho, who had not so clear that the midfielder would continue.

Board's confidence in the quality and possibilities of Kaka also help for his continuity. What's more, many times the former Milan player has made clear his love for the 'rossoneri', so that is at least doubtful that his move feels good to the fans of arch-rivals.

Neither Inter Milan is the first team that is interested in the Brazilian player, nor it is the first time this idea is conceived. Last January was talked about the possibility, but got nowhere. Although his performance has been so hobbled by injuries, Kaka remains a highly coveted piece of the biggest clubs in Europe, like Milan (Berlusconi talked about this) or Chelsea, in process of reconstruction, would have been interested on him in recent months.

In the same way, the Italian daily newspaper 'La Repubblica' also talks about the interest from Inter and Real Madrid to exchange these players. It says that Florentino Perez thinks that Kaka has a price of 40 million euros, while Inter thinks that Maicon is half, 20 million. "The operation (to buy Kaka) can be closed with Maicon and 20 million", said 'La Repubblica', which states that the last word in this deal lies with the Brazilian striker.

Milan and Chelsea will bid for Kaka

Kaka have one foot out of Real Madrid. Chelsea and Milan have already taken positions. The owner of the "Rossoneri", Silvio Berlusconi, has been the last to join the list with this invitation to the footballer: "Ricardo (Kaka) is an extraordinary man. If he decides to return to Milan, we are waiting with open arms" said to the Italian media yesterday.

Real Madrid player could leave the club last summer, but his knee surgery that kept him out of the pitch almost six months, ended his move to Chelsea. The player had already given the nod to Abramovich, shortly before joining the training camp in Los Angeles, but once he was diagnosed with the extent of his injury, everything was ruined.

However, ten months later, Kaka's situation has not changed too much. Despite the return to the team, score goals and play more games, the reality is that there has not settled in Madrid. Regained fitness and forgotten lesions, is the player who has assimilated the best thing may be a change of scene and start a new era.

Kaka is the one who most believes in himself but sees that maybe Chelsea or Milan, where he was waited with open arms, may be the best option to go back to being what he was. The Brazilian has between the eyes the World Cup Brazil 2014, and is aware that has been left out of the Copa America. He knows that to get to be in this World Cup needs to play more games.

The other obstacle to the out of Kaka, until recently, was the Real Madrid, especially Florentino Perez, whose investment by the Brazilian was the third largest, only behind Cristiano and Zidane. But the club begins to consider making let go of the player if gets a good deal.

The transfer of Kaka could serve to lower any other important operation. In Madrid are aware that nobody is going to pay the 65 million that Brazilian cost, but he has been revalued and its sale could be now the most important of the Real Madrid in recent years.

In the case of Chelsea, Real, or rather Mourinho, could take Ancelotti's interest in the player to ask Drogba, especially if Adebayor does not continue. The Ivorian, despite his age, is a footballer of Portuguese coach's confidence, who will insist on the signing of another striker if he sees that the club finally decides to let go Adebayor.

The Chelsea is therefore the first choice for Kaka, but always subjected to the continuity of Carlo Ancelotti, the great supporter at Stamford Bridge. The sentence of the player's mother in social networks just two days ago "Next year we will be in London" has strengthened this possibility about his future.

Kaka has also been relegated to the bench this season. However, he showed signs of recovery since he returned from his latest injury, to the extent that Mou wanted to give the great opportunity he expected. An important match and a scenario like the Nou Camp, but the meeting sounded a farewell after a gray game and be replaced by Özil.

Ricardo Kaka: Birthday on the bench

This Friday was the birthday of Ricardo Izecson, Kaká. He was born in Brasilia on April 22, 1982. The Brazilian footballer celebrated his birthday in a difficult situation for him individually, but happy at the collective level, after winning the Spanish Cup (Copa del Rey).

On Wednesday, Kaka held on the Mestalla's grass the twelfth title of his career, ninth at club level. Two came to him while he was player in the Sao Paulo and the other six in Milan, the club where he was crowned as world star, for which Real Madrid paid 65 million euros almost two years ago.

In those two years, Kaka has changed from a pillar of the second draft of Florentino Perez to play a residual role in the white team. Injuries have been the particular cross of former Golden Ball (2007), who suffered a groin injury last season and in summer, after playing the World Cup with Brazil, underwent knee surgery that kept him out for six months. He reappeared against Getafe on January 3, but still had to stop again in order to regain the pace barely hinted at Real Madrid's League visit to San Mames.

Hard moments for Kaka without playing

However, when the important part of the season has begun (the four games against Barcelona that the League leaves this weekend on 'standby') Kaka has returned to the bench. Mesut Özil's great season has also contributed to this relegation. German player has owned ​​the playmaker position in the scheme of Jose Mourinho.

Is always expected something more from Kaka. To begin, he will play as starter this Saturday at the Mestalla Stadium, a very diffiult date for Real Madrid. And who knows, maybe Mourinho is cooking a plan with the Brazilian as secret ingredient for the Champions League duels against Barca. Stranger things have been seen.

Gillette knows that Kaka's beard has a price

Kaka, a player who claims to wear a normal and good boy image, fleeing the eccentricities, was presented Tuesday at the Bernabeu with a beard, not usual for him. Shocking. The explanation is that the contract he has with Gillette has expired and is in negotiations to renew it. The brand of shaving products (Kaka has been image along with other global sports icons like Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Thierry Henry) remains confident in the style of Brazilian soccer.

Kaka has not grown a beard to press for renewal of this contract, but it is certain that his image is having a global impact. Is a reference. To see him having a shave again, along with other stars, can produce large revenues to this trademark. Kaka's beard is still highly valued and Gillette will put a new price for that shave. How long we will see him with that beard? For now, he presented his intentions in the game against Tottenham.

In his case there are more factors. Not only advertising but also the fact that he took more than a month without playing a match and in some ways, he wants to start again. Change the look is very typical of the Brazilian players when they want to end a poor run and claim that the fans see them with different eyes. Ronaldo did it in the World Cup in Korea and Japan in 2002. He shaved his head and left a lock on the top of the forehead. He wanted to talk more about his look and less abou the state of his knee. Had a positive effect, with covers dedicated to this style and children copying the hairstyle. Ronaldo, who many people took for finish, won the World Cup and ended up being the top scorer.

Kaka is in the process of proving to the critics that he has football in his legs for a longtime. The beard is a superstition that matches the new contract he is negotiating with Gillette.
