STYLE GUIDE
Kaka glides past defenders, making them appears as if they have stepped aside to let him through. He looks relaxed playing anywhere in midfield, from where he strikes the ball in ways that are unimaginable until he has kicked it. Goalkeepers know the feeling especially well. Now that Kaka is in the full pomp of his skills, managers are asking him press forward and display his astonishing yet economical footwork in conjuring closer-range goal-scoring opportunities.
