Ricardo Kaka

Kaka

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, commonly known as Kaka was born on April 22nd, 1982 in Brazil. He is a Brazilian soccer player who plays the midfield position for the Brazil national team and the A.C. Milan club.

Supposedly Kaka received his nickname because his little brother, Rodrigo, could not pronounce the word “Ricardo” when they were both younger. So instead, his brother Rodrigo called him “Caca”, which soon became “Kaka“. When Kaka was 18 he suffered a possible paralyzing spinal fracture because of a pool accident, but the strong Kaka was able to fully recover from the event.

Kaka was back in action about a year later when he was put into a football game as a substitute in the Tornero Rio Final. Kaka’s football team was down by one when the coach decided to put him into the game with a very short 14 minutes left. People were very skeptical about this move, but two minutes in Kaka scored an amazing two goal leading his team to a great victory. Kaka has since gained much fame and is known as one of the top players around today.
