I am Kaka

"Although I don't want to admit it, we didn't lose to Sao Paulo, but to that young man named Kaka." Botafogo's post-match speech was quoted by many local media in Sao Paulo, which made many people who didn't watch the game Fans heard "Kaka" for the first time, a name that seemed strange even in Brazil.

"Sao Paulo has a young player who is very similar to Rai, and he is very likely to become another Rai," the famous football commentator Bossot wrote in the column of "Folha Sao Paulo" on the second day of the game. "The same background, the same position, the same elegance, the same brilliance, this young player named Kaka began to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors. We hope that he is not just a flash in the pan, but can become a real midfielder. Superstar..."

Ray is the younger brother of the famous Brazilian star Socrates. He was born in the Sao Paulo club. He has superb skills and elegant style of play. Rai, who has become a famous Sao Paulo star, is put together. Obviously, the fans are full of good expectations for this young man who has only played one official game.

"The second Lai", this is probably the best compliment for Kaka that Sao Paulo fans can think of at the moment.

This kind of evaluation is of course a compliment and honor, but in other words, Rai is the template they are looking for for Kaka, and it may also be the upper limit that Kaka can achieve in many people's hearts.

Kaka's original idol was Rai, but for Kaka now, "the second Rai" probably means "if you don't work hard, you can only be the second Rai".

So on the second day after the game, when many teammates took advantage of the rare holiday to spend time and drink, Kaka, who was most qualified and had the most reason to celebrate the victory, came to the indoor court early and continued to hone his little football through futsal. technology.

He can't be as strict and perverted as Ronaldo in terms of self-discipline, but he has been a human being for two lives and knows the approximate height he can reach, so he has a little bit of honor and disgrace in his dealings with others.

It can't be called Buddhism, but at least the mentality is much more mature than ordinary young people.

Kaka is quite clear about his current situation.

The system is his biggest capital, but the only help he can provide at present is a dribbling skill and a long-range shooting talent. These two specialties are enough to gain a foothold in the Brazilian league, but they are far from the perfect Kaka he envisioned. Too far too far.

Generally speaking, no matter how talented a superstar is, there is still a process of growth. It takes a long time for their technical style and practical skills to take shape and mature, but the system directly helps Kaka omit this. In the process, the "Stride Meteor", which was polished and perfected in his peak period, was installed on his body as simply and rudely as an APP, so that he can successfully make a blockbuster in his first show even if his ball sense is not so outstanding and his experience is not so rich.

The general future stars have great potential but mediocre strength, but Kaka is just the opposite. He already has good technical and tactical strength at a young age, but his potential is a mess.

Of course, the potential mentioned here excludes such plug-ins of the system.

There are too many uncertainties in the fantasy side of the system. If you really want to complete the epic task of "Hanging Melo", you probably have to beat yourself to death.

When you clearly realize that your all-out efforts are not as good as other people's casual messing around, it means you should be tougher on yourself.

This is also the main reason why he does not miss any free time.

He only played for 30 minutes yesterday, so his energy consumption was not high, and the intensity of the five-a-side system was completely trivial to him, and there was no possibility of fatigue.

Falcao is a professional player and has reported back to the club. Now Kaka's friends in the indoor court are mostly retired futsal players or folk masters.

Kaka is not targeting anyone. For him, regardless of physical fitness and competitive quality, everyone here is a big shot.

Everyone first congratulated him on his performance in the last game and praised him severely, and then tortured him to death on the court.

There was still training the next day, and Kaka didn't play very late, but chose to escape after enjoying himself a little.

After entering the first team, Kaka won't even have many chances to practice, let alone go out to have fun like this.

Because the game tasks of various professional teams in Brazil are terrible.

In addition to the National League and the Football Association Cup that are implemented in all countries, all 26 states and one capital federal district in Brazil have their own state leagues. In addition to various intercontinental competitions, training with games has become the norm for Brazilian clubs.

As far as the Sao Paulo team is concerned, there is only one thing all year round, and that is non-stop games.

From January to May, the Sao Paulo State League has not yet been reformed. The game system adopted is similar to the regular season and playoffs of the American Major League. After five months, 15 games in a single cycle cannot run. If you enter the playoffs or even win the championship, you can play up to 19 games.

From May to December, the Brazilian Football League, that is, the National League, has 20 teams in a double cycle and 38 games.

From July to November, the Sao Paulo State Cup. The number of teams participating in this competition is not fixed every year. Calculated according to the double round-robin group stage, if it reaches the final, it is conservatively estimated that there will be 20 games.

March-November, Brazil Cup: In theory, they can participate in a total of 14 games in 7 rounds at most, and strong teams can participate in a total of 8 games in the last 4 rounds at most.

From February to July, Copa Libertadores: From participating in the play-offs to reaching the finals, there are a total of 16 games.

Adding these 5 events together, the Sao Paulo team can play more than 100 games in a natural year.

This is not counting the South American Cup - according to the rules, a team can play both the Copa Libertadores and the South American Cup at the same time, which is equivalent to a European team can play the Champions League and the Europa League at the same time - Football Kingdom , is so capricious.

The most conservative estimate is 100 games in 365 days, with an average of 3.5 games, that is, double matches a week throughout the year.

However, everyone, this is just an average. The real schedule is far more perverted than you think. For example, the Brazilian League can often have two rounds separated by only 24 hours. Do not give way to continue driving, only during the World Cup will be off for a month.

Let's look at an example: Brazil's traditional giants Palmeiras planned to hit the Triple Crown in 1999. As a result, the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, the Brazilian Cup, and the State League all crashed. The schedule is... three games a day.

The brave Palmeiras did not go on strike. They were either in the game or on the way to the game that day. They really finished three games in one day.

Of course, apart from the Copa Libertadores, there was no suspense that they lost the other two games that day.

It can be said that Kaka is very lucky. In his two lifetimes, he has experienced the two most amazing countries in the field of football. One is that the national team can’t win, and the other is that the club team is always playing non-stop. .
