This week the face of allsport.am website is Ricardo Isaacson dos Santos Leyte aka Kaka. He was born in the capital of Brazil in 1982. on April 22. The younger brother of the football player, Diego, could not pronounce the name Ricardo and called his brother “Caca”, after that parents and friends also started calling the Brazilian by the name Kaka.

As a child, Kaka was inferior to his peers in terms of physical data, but thanks to long training and patience, he was able to equal and even surpass them. Kaka won the first prize in his youth. Ricardo won the title of the best football player during the championship between the schools of his hometown.

Kaka grew up in a family of believers and in any difficulty he asks himself the following question: “And what would Jesus do for me?”

The miracle in Kaka’s life

Perhaps all soccer fans will remember the episode in Kaka’s life when, in 2000, the novice soccer player landed on the side of the top tube of a swimming pool instead of in it while taking a break. At that moment, no one suspected a serious danger, Kaka kept himself strong. But the next day, during training, the boy felt severe pain and lost consciousness. The hospital reported that Kaka’s spine was damaged. It was very unlikely that the football player would be able to continue his career or walk at all. That period was the most difficult in Kaka’s life. for two months he only lay down. As Kaka later noted, only faith in God helped him fully recover. He prayed every day…praying that Jesus would not leave him in that state. After some time, Kaka stood up and the doctors still claim that a miracle happened. That’s why, after each goal, Kaka raises his hands and thanks God that he didn’t leave the football field.

Next to Kakamania: “Happy children live in the heart of Jesus”

In 2001, Kaka moved to the senior team of Sao Paulo. On March 7 of the same year, in the final against “Rio”, Kaka scored 2 goals in 2 minutes and gave the team victory. All of Brazil starts to worship Kaka. A so-called kakamania arises… The press and fans did not give rest to their hero. But all that does not turn into a star disease in a boy. He remained the same kind, smiling child. And the inscription “Happy children live in the heart of Jesus” cannot be erased from the wall of his room.

The diamond acquisition of “Milan”.

In 2003, signing a contract worth 8.5 million euros, Kaka moved to Milan. Kaka was simply shining in the Italian club. incredible speed, brilliant possession technique, unstoppable shots. The Kaka-Shevchenko pair became the main weapon of “Milan”. The press began to write that Kaka is the diamond acquisition of “Milan”, and Pele declared “He is a football genius”.

During the winter transfer window of 2009, “Manchester City” was seriously interested in Kaka’s services. the Brazilian did not want to leave Italy. But months later, Kaka left Serie A anyway.

Football Italia’s June 3, 2009 publication was ominous for AC Milan fans and has the opposite feeling for Real Madrid fans.

On August 7 of the same year, Kaka played for the first time in the Spanish club. Now, although the press sends Kaka here and there, the Brazilian continues to perform for the “royal” club, although he mostly watches the games from the bench.

We should add that Kaka made his debut in the Brazilian national team on January 31, 2002. He won the championship title with the team at the World Championship of the same year.
