Kaka - We are worth it
Real Madrid summer signing Kaka feels
his is worth every penny of his £56million transfer fee from AC
Milan.
The Spanish giants have not been shy to signal their intent for
the upcoming season with Cristiano Ronaldo
swiftly following Kaka's arrival at the Bernabeu for a
staggering world record £80million.
Valencia's Raul Albiol and Lyon's Karim Benzema have also been snapped up to
take Real's spending over the £180million mark with no signs of
president Florentino Perez stopping there.
Like Ronaldo before him Kaka feels that his ability justifies
the fee and disagrees with people stating that such a figure is
immoral, particularly in the current economic climate.
"(The reason) that Real Madrid have decided to pay so much for
us is because we are worth it, isn't it? Because we've shown it
with our football over the last few years," he told
Marca.
"We are in a sport which pays these kinds of figures and within
this sphere it could be that we are worth this investment.
"In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the most expensive
player ever, he has shown that he's number one and that he's worth
this money."
The 27-year-old insists that the price tag will not affect his
performances and in fact he believes the expectation can only help
his game.
"To tell the truth, I'm happy to know Real Madrid paid all this
money to sign me," he added.
"It's not a form of pressure for me, but a responsibility. But
in no way is it going to create a negative effect - just the
opposite.
"I think it's something that is going to motivate me even
more."
Manuel Pellegrini is the man responsible with gelling the individuals
into a team with many believing the Argentine lacks the experience
of handling big name players having spent most of his managerial
career with small town team Villarreal.
Kaka, however, is confident Pellegrini is the right man for the
job after his feats with the Yellow Submarine.
"He's a coach who I like," he highlighted. "He did a spectacular
job with Villarreal and if he's at Real Madrid it's because he's
earned it with his effort and dedication.
"He achieved great things in Europe and we knew him well in
Milan, because he knocked Inter out of the Champions League.
"He's a coach who gave Villarreal a very nice style of play and
I'm sure that at Real Madrid he will try to do the same as with his
previous team."
