Kaka ready to make history
Saturday 29 October, 2005
Kaka is looking forward to tonight’s big game with Juventus and believes this result will put Milan in the history books.
“Playing a match that has so much riding on it is always a pleasure,” said the Brazilian starlet. “This is a truly important tie that has always had its place in history, but it is also crucial for this season and our place in the Scudetto race.”
Juve are five points clear at the top of the Serie A table and travel to the San Siro, where they won 1-0 last term to effectively hand them the title.
“It will be wonderful to play at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza packed with Rossoneri supporters, as they can give us that extra push. We have to make the atmosphere into an advantage for us.”
Former Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati will probably be on the bench, so Antonio Chimenti starts and Kaka claims they can take advantage of this uncertainty.
“I think it will be crucial to find a way to hurt their defence, though until now Juve have conceded just two goals in nine games,” continued the Selecao star. “They have great qualities, but we can find a way through.”
The Bianconeri have already made history as the first team ever to win its opening nine Serie A fixtures, but their rivals are not far behind.
“Juventus may be on a strong run of results, but Milan have won their last six on the trot and we don’t want to stop now. We are on the right track.”
The main doubt for Carlo Ancelotti is in attack, where Andriy Shevchenko is struggling with a heel injury. The Ukrainian is in the squad, though Pippo Inzaghi and Christian Vieri are challenging to take his place alongside Kaka and Alberto Gilardino.
“As far as I am concerned, nothing would change if Sheva did not play. Every striker wants to receive the ball, so there are no tactical differences. Here at Milan we all know each other well and work on team unity every day.”
