Should Kaka be the next Milan captain?
Milan supporters have insisted that Kaka should be the next captain after Maldini retires.
Kaka has chosen to stay at Milan despite the fabulous offer received from Manchester City. This wish was also accepted by Maldini with one condition: Kaka should not leave Milan for Real Madrid.
Even if he refused the money from Manchester City because he can’t leave his friends and the religion played an important role, Kaka could be tempted by Real Madrid.
At Real he would benefit from the best conditions and he should not have to worry about the performances at Real Madrid as it was the case with City.
With Kaka captain Milan would follow Arsenal model where Fabregas was rewarded with the captain armband thanks to the great evolutions on the ground.
Also the Brazilian express his desire to become someday Milan’s captain in 2007 just after winning the Golden Ball Award “I believe that I’m already a leader inside the team, but I would like to become the captain, the flag of this team“.
Kaka was considered until recently the young symbol of Milan and many could consider that he does not have the same leadership like Gattuso or Ambrosini.
Also Ancelotti declared that he thinks that is more important to feel like a leader than wearing the armband and that Kaka could be the captain if the whole team want him to be.
Derby between Inter and Milan
The clash between Serie’s A two giants AC Milan and Internationale will have it’s next episode on Sunday.It’s the same event that catches the attention of not just Milano,the city its self, and Italy, but also of the entire world.Today’s top match will be in the world of football fans the highlight of the day.
Inter while leading the Serie A table with 53 points, with Juventus following behind and Milan on third position, will be looking to strengthen their position in the table, but they know that they will be playing against an adversary that fiercely will fight for every ball and in matches likes these the table position has no effect, and there are no clear favourites.
A defeat for Milan will mean the end of hopes of a new title, as the distance between them and Inter will be to big to recuperate.Kaka, Milan’s player, isn’t going to play due to an injury, and this seems rather a big disadvantage since Mourihnio has his full team in good shape and ready for the battle on the pitch.
Also Maldini, the Milan’s veteran is likely to be playing his last macth of his carrer against Inter, as he is about the retire this summer at the veritable age of 40.This would be his 55th in 25 seasons What could be more thriling that winning against a life time enemy in your last derby?
For everything Maldini has proved as a football player, the fotbalistic value, the attitude, the loyalty, although i am not a fan of Milan, i wish him to snatch a last win in his last derby of his career against Inter,good luck to you Maldini.
Real Madrid not giving up on Ronaldo

Vicente Boluda, the interim president, intends to borrow around €70 millions for the transfer fee. Ronaldo could become the most expensive player in the football history but also the best payed if the transfer will be done.
Anyway Boluda plans could be ruined by Ferguson who definitely doesn’t want to lose his jewelry.The best player in the World in 2008-2009 season doesn’t seems to be effected by all that talk about him and continues to work hard on the field and the results are notable.
Ronaldo brought the victory for his country in the last game against Finland. The Portuguese star scored the only goal of the game after a penalty.
