Real Madrid's Kaka: I Am Not Satisfied With My Own Performances
The Brazilian believes he has much more left to offer...
By Cyrus C. Malek
"I am not happy with my own performances, but my entire problem is physical; I suffered a lot since I arrived here [in Madrid]," said the Brazilian in response to questions about his physical ailments and doubts about his play.
Instead, the midfielder forecasted an improvement saying: "When I am better physically, my performance will change. I will be happy and the fans will as well."
The ex-Milan star also rejected the claim that the injury which kept him out of action for a month was suffered in the Champions League knockout match against Lyon. "I was not in pain in that match. It was on the following Saturday when I struck the ball that I felt pain."
Kaka also denied that the injury was a recurrence of his sports hernia, instead faulting a leg muscle as the offending injury.
For the Brazilian, the whistles and jeers that were directed towards him in the Lyon match were nothing new. "They jeered me at Sao Paulo, at Milan, with the Brazilian national team, and here. It happens to every player. When things do not go the way of the crowd, even the best players suffer. I am going to share a lot of happiness with these fans."
