Kaka purrs over 'Brazil-like' Reds
AC Milan's Brazilian superstar Kaka believes Manchester United have
overtaken Arsenal as the Premiership's most stylish side.The
25-year-old got a first-hand look at Sir Alex Ferguson's men on
Tuesday as his side crashed 3-2 at Old Trafford in a thrilling
Champions League semi-final first leg.
Kaka was arguably the star of the show with a first-half brace, but
he saw enough of United to convince him they would not look out of
place at Rio's famous Maracana.
"I watch the Premiership and I see Manchester United in England as
the most Brazilian-like in their style," he told the Daily
Telegraph.
"Obviously, Ronaldo and Rooney are very skilful, but they all play
well with the ball on the floor.
"They play the passing game. They did not use any long balls
against us.
"People always say that Arsenal play a Brazilian style of football,
but I think Manchester United are more Brazilian in their way of
playing than the Arsenal players are."
Kaka also hailed United's fans for their vocal performance on
Tuesday night.
"I was particularly impressed with the singing of the Manchester
fans at half-time, especially as their team was 2-1 down," he
added.
"This is one of the great things about Premiership fans. They have
such passion for their team. I love that kind of atmosphere."
The Champions League's top scorer this season has predicted an
equally attacking second leg when the sides reconvene on Wednesday
night at the San Siro.
Kaka said: "The two teams are very similar, both very strong, who
both espouse an attacking brand of football.
"We are two teams who instinctively like to come forward and
attack. I think the combination of the teams makes it a joy to
watch.
"You could never hold back and settle for a draw against a team
like Manchester United.
"The second leg will be an exciting match, because it would always
be this way whenever these two teams of players meet.
"But we are going to go for the kill in the San Siro, to win
outright."
