There are very few people on this planet who can say they’ve had the privilege of playing alongside one of the game’s greatest in Kaka. One can only imagine the feeling of rubbing shoulders with the World Cup champion and Balon d’Or winner.
Simply watching the Brazilian maestro do his stuff is a mouthwatering prospect, but teaming up with him is a different feeling altogether. One particular lad had this opportunity, and my oh my did he ruin it 🤦
The incident occurred in London during a meet-and-greet session, where fans had the opportunity to interact with Kaka and watch the former AC Milan and Real Madrid star strut his stuff in a 6 a-side game. Having been lucky enough to be selected on his team, this player would sour his experience by asking Kaka to cut the ball back to him instead of shooting.
Kaka of course ignored this request and went on to score an absolute beauty with his left foot, causing his vocal teammate to fall into silence. Imagine the brazenness it must’ve taken to ask one of the greatest midfielders of our generation to pass the ball, instead of leaving him to express himself.
This moment became a viral sensation with many wondering what this chap was thinking. The words “Kaka, cutback!” are now etched into football folklore. You get a chance to play with one of the Brazilian GOATs and you do that? Poor guy must still have sleepless nights!
