Kaka, thanks for the memory!



Today is indeed a hard day for Milan fans. Kaka is leaving Milan for Real Madrid, at a whopping transfer fee of £59m. This amount is equivalent to the debts of the whole AC Milan, therefore this deal makes perfect sense, financially. But to lose a player of Kaka's calibre, no matter how much the money is, will be a lost to Milan.

As Kaka is not just another footballer, he is the greatest footballer, a great role model to the world as a footballer, when other footballers are disgracing the profession. He is down-to-earth and never let his stardom and money to get the better of his character. He is the unique one in the current crop of great footballers, who despite their great talent and skills, have shown some volatile and unprofessional behavior.

And in his last press conference as a Milan player, he said he joined Real Madrid to help AC Milan financially. I'm touched, but at the same time, feel unfortunate that Milan is in such difficult situation. If only Milan is stronger financially...

As a Milan fan, I can only say thank you to Kaka, for all the great memories, and his professionalism he had shown to the club during the 6 years at Milan. And I hope Milan had redeemed the pride they lost in the 2005 Champions League final by winning the same tournament in 2007, against the same opposition. Therefore I choose this pix to remind everyone of the great moments when he was at Milan. As he said in the press conference, "My professional link with AC Milan finishes now, but my sentimental link will never end."

Definitely, as he has become a legend in Milan! And wish you all the best at Real!
