YOKOHAMA (Japan) Courtesy of acmilan.com – The difference between Yokohama and Tokyo is the same as Assago and Corso Vittorio Emanuele in the month of December, the Christmas period. A relaxed and smiling Kaka, took part to the meeting with television and newspapers of the morning.

Ricky, in Japan there’s a weekly magazine, which highlighted that you want this Cup more than the Golden Ball:

“Yes, I want it. For us South Americans, it’s a very important trophy, and my team-mates and I shall do everything to win it and to write our names in the history books of this trophy, and therefore in the history of football”.

In 2003, you left towards Italy without even knowing if you would have been in the first team. Today there are more responsibilities for you:

“I enjoy responsibilities, I know there are and I know what they expect from m e. It’s true that today things are different than four years ago.”

Last night the FIFA Club World Cup started: “We saw during dinner,” said Kaka, “The match between Sepahan and Waitakere. To have a better idea of our next opponents, we shall follow carefully on Monday the quarter final between Sepahan and Urawa Reds Diamonds.”

Do you hope for the revenge against Boca?:

“In the meantime we are just thinking about the semi-final. For the rest, I don’t like the word ‘revenge’. In 2003 Boca won and it ended there, closed story. Now let’s look forward.”

Ricky, Calderon is coming to Japan…”Let’s forget it, it’s something that does not concern me.”

Ronaldinho…? “The club will talk about the transfer market.”

Kaka then spoke about the Ronaldo issue:

“He has gone through more difficult moments than this one, when he had injured his knee and was out for two years. I hope that he returns as soon as possible and plays those game sequences in which he hopes. What annoys him is that since he does not play he feels he’s a bit out of the squad. It’s for this reason that in this training camp in Japan talk to him a lot, because we want him to feel inside the team. Now we don’t know how long he will be out for, even though we did not lose our hopes in seeing him on the pitch in this World Cup, but when we talk to him, and we often do, we never talk about injuries. The calf is still hurting him, but the doctors will think about this as he is making a lot of treatments and applications with them during this training camp. We talk to him a lot, but we talk about other things, to make him feel part of the team.”
