Kaka’s
move to Real
Madrid from Milan was confirmed on June 8,
2009, in a deal that would see the Brazilian join the Spanish club
for the next six seasons. The deal cost the 'Casa Blanca' a mammoth
fee of over €65 million, which kicked off their spending spree this
summer.
For the first time since the move was sealed, the wife of the
player, Caroline Celico, had her say on the transfer, and more
significantly the cost, something that she has declared is a sign
from God.
“There are people out there who need our help,” Caroline stated in
an interview, as reported by Corriere dello Sport.
“I made a covenant with the Lord, that I was convinced in spirit to
marry a virgin. After falling in love with Kaka, I thought that I
would fail in doing this; however I told him clearly that I wanted
to remain a virgin until marriage.
“It was a signal that I had respected the Lord, and now there is a
sign from God, through Real Madrid.
“How can someone, in this period of crisis, be worth so much
money
? It is because God has put
this money into the hands of Real Madrid, in order to recruit
Kaka.
“From here we can open a church in Madrid, as there are people who
must hear our words.”
Kaka and his wife are both evangelical Christians, who are involved
with an organisation that preaches the word of the Lord. There is a
video currently on Youtube which outlines their objectives through
this mission, which they will be hoping to pursue further in
Spain.
