Moving forward, “Right foot?”, Kaka replied, “Right foot, Neymar, I love him, I love him as a player”. Holding the ability to convert any threat into a clear-cut chance, Neymar surely would be a perfect player for the right foot.
Up next he got asked about speed, Kaka had a straight-up answer of, “Speed Kylian Mbappe, he’s very fast and it’s not easy to run with the ball”. With the lightning speed Mbappe has there are very few who’d catch up with him in a race. With speed strength is a vital aspect to look at Kaka had the Man City forward as a reply, “Strength Haaland, he’s very strong very powerful.”
Picking the players with physical attributes up next came the mental attributes of the player first pick was the Skills Kaka had an easy and direct pick to come for that being, “Skills? Leo Messi. I’ll take Messi, and I don’t think I want to say more about him. Only Leo, just Messi, so I’ll take him”.
And last comes the IQ of a player who to pick none other than the best playmaker in the world none other than Kevin De Bruyne, “Soccer IQ, Kevin De Bruyne, he’s very smart, he’s very intelligent on the field. He can see the play before the other players”
Picking such unbelievable players people still had their own opinions as well. Not picking Cristiano Ronaldo had people question Kaka a lot why didn’t he pick one of the best players of all time in his complete player setup?
Kaka never believed Cristiano Ronaldo was better than Lionel Messi
Coming from this interview, that Kaka didn’t believe in Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t the first time that such a situation has happened. Back in April 2020 when Kaka was doing a LIVE Q&A for FIFA’s channel on Instagram, Kaka was asked about which side of the Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo rivalry he is on.
Coming with a strong response Kaka revealed, “I played with Cristiano and he’s amazing, but I’ll go with Messi.” He further added the qualities of Messi he believed in, “He’s a genius, a pure talent. The way he plays is incredible.” Claiming such praises for the Argentine, Kaka didn’t slate Ronaldo still.
Commenting about Ronaldo, Kaka said, “Cristiano is a machine, It’s not just the way he’s strong, powerful, and fast, he’s strong mentally.” Praising the mentality of Ronaldo, Kaka further added, “He always wants to win and play. To be the best.”
Praising both the players Kaka claimed to say, “In the history of sport, they [Messi and Cristiano] are definitely in the top five.” He further added to say, “We are very lucky to have been able to see both of them.”
With the mentality Cristiano Ronaldo has, nobody can ever doubt him to be a great across soccer history. Whether you have Cristiano Ronaldo as your best ever or Lionel Messi, nobody can ever doubt that these two will forever be the best to grace the field we get to watch.
