1 month (and a little) in 1 post..

By: Moka | November 15th, 2008

If you’re a student in a Canadian university (York U, excluded b/c of that strike), then you probably know that October is a terrible, terrible month. Tests, tests and more tests, with assignments and more assignments in between pretty much sums up this past month for me. Enough with the excuses, let’s talk Kaká. (as awkward as that may sound..)

So, 1 month and a little in 1 post. The easiest and quickest way is to just briefly talk about the games Kaká featured in. Here we go!

October 19; AC Milan 3-0 Sampdoria:

Since it was the 1st game after the international break, he started on the bench, featuring at the start of the 2nd half, in which Milan scored all 3 goals. His presence definitely impacted the game, and resulted in another Ka-Dinh-gol. Highlights below:

October 23; Heerenveen 1-3 AC Milan:

Kaká started this time, and he assisted the first two goals. The first was a cross that was meant for Inzaghi, but it ended up deflecting off a Heerenveen defender, and the second goal came from a cross to Gattuso, after a very skillful run down the left and into the penalty box. Highlights below:

October 26; Atalanta 0-1 AC Milan

Lone goal courtesy of Kaká in the 80th minute. Not a good game for Milan overall, but to win championships, there has to be wins like these, as was discussed at the Milan offside. Nonetheless, the goal came from a very nice Borriello pass. Goal.com:

Kaka – 7.0: Not at his absolute best, but still managed to score the all important winning goal after 80 minutes, to take his team closer to the top of the table.

Goal below:

October 29; AC Milan 2-1 Siena:

Relatively quiet game for Kaká , but he scored the deciding goal in the 65th minute from the penalty spot. Enough said. Goal.com:

Kaka – 7.5: Not at his brilliant best, but very effective tonight. Started the move for Inzaghi’s goal after embarking on a trademark slalom, while he stuck away his penalty with aplomb.

November 2; AC Milan 1-0 Napoli:

A match full of action and excitement. Kaká did very well, but lady luck was simply not on Milan’s side. Took 8 shots, 3 on target, 1 of which was a penalty, which was saved by Iezzo. Hats off to Napoli, but Milan dominated the game and deserved a goal after so many chances. Good game for Kaká overall. Goal.com:

Kaka – 7.5: Following a quiet opening, Kaka burst into life in the second half, and was great throughout. Had some glorious opportunities, including a wonderful strike from the edge of the area after 73 minutes that was denied by the post. He did miss a penalty after 85 minutes, solely due to a wonderful save by Iezzo.

November 9; Lecce 1-1 AC Milan:

An unfair result. Milan pressed and pressed throughout most of the game, but simply could not find the back of the net, mainly due to a strong Lecce defense. Dinho broke the dead-lock, only for Esposito to equalize from a needless, poorly-marked set-piece. Fairly decent performance by Kaká, as he was constantly putting an effort. Goal.com:

Kaka – 8.0: Brilliant as always. Set up so many attacking plays for his side, and provided great service to Borriello, Ronaldinho and co. all match. Was extremely unlucky not to score tonight, however he can certainly hold his head up high following that performance.

That’s all I’ll write for now. Tomorrow, time-permitting, I’ll write up another post with a more analytical approach + other news. Cheers!
