Kaka acknowledged in an interview that he had thought of quitting AC Milan last season.

As one of the main inspiration behind Milan’s Champions League victory over Liverpool in Athens last May, Kaka admitted he considered making that memorable victory as his last appearance in the famous black and red jersey.

Since that victory, Kaka has gone on to win three individual awards, making him the undisputed best player in the world.

To Kaka, individual awards only spurs him on to greater heights. He feels Milan, as a team, deserve more accolades than himself, as an individual.

Now Kaka wants to stay on with Milan and hope to captain the team one day. He has a contract which keeps him at the San Siro till at least 2011. He revealed he is willing to bide his time in order to get the armband one day.

The attacking midfielder joined AC Milan in 2003 and has won the Serie A, the Champions League and the World Club Cup title. While his future with Milan was in doubt prior to the Champions League final last season, when he had thoughts about quitting the club, Kaka’s commitment to the Milan cause is now more evident than ever with coach Carlo Ancelotti remarking: “The chances are I will leave the club before he does.”

AC Milan sponsors Adidas has made an announcement that AC Milan star Kaka and other AC Milan players will be visiting the Adidas store in Dubai Festival City. This news will be great for football fans living in or around the City.

Kaka and other AC Milan players including Alessandro Nesta and Carlos Ancelotti will be making the trip to the store in Dubai.

Fanatic football fans can see Kaka and the AC Milan team in the Adidas store at Dubai Festival City, on the 1^st Floor, Crescent Walk, on Sunday the 6^th of January 2008 at 6.30pm. AC Milan players and coaching staff will meet with fans and will sign autographs and other merchandise for around 45 minutes.

This is a great opportunity for football fans in Dubai to come out in force and see some world class football players including World Player of the Year Kaka, who no doubt will get the biggest reception. Kaka has fans from all over the world so the reception for the player will be huge.

After having won the FIFA World Player of the Year award last month, Kaka has given the trophy he won to his local church in Brazil for a short while.

A spokesperson for Kaka said that the player was a very religious person and wanted to give something back to his local church. He has given it to a Sao Paulo temple to display for a while.

Kaka won the award after he was voted the best player in the world by national managers and team captains in December. The Brazilian born Kaka beat Argentine playmaker Leo Messi who came second and Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo who finished third.

Kaka has not yet decided how long the trophy will be on display in his local church. Kaka in recent times has shown his faith by raising his arms to the Gods every time he scores a goal for AC Milan or Brazil.

Kaka played against Boca Juniors in the FIFA Club World Cup last month and wore a t-shirt during that match under his AC Milan one that had the words ‘I belong to Jesus’ written on it. He offered this t-shirt to the Brazil president after the game.

Kaka has plans to become an evangelical minister when he retires from playing football professionally.

The striker is the best in Serie A at this present time for Palermo and has being knocking in plenty of goals and great performances in the last few weeks.

The 27 year old striker is wanted by both AC Milan and Juventus who would be willing to sign him in January or the summer. Amauri has two clubs chasing him who have both players he would love to play with. Juventus have Del Piero and AC Milan have Kaka. He admitted that he would relish the chance to play alongside Kaka more than Del Piero. He said that although Juventus are a good side, if he went to AC Milan then he would be playing in a World Class team with the Golden Ball winner in the shape of Kaka.

Amauri did say that he didn’t want to leave Palermo until the end of the season as he wants to get the club into the Champions League but would be very interested in a move at the end of the season. He added he’d love to work alongside Kaka or Del Piero and be able to show off his quality at the highest level possible.
