Kaka is in doubt for tomorrow night’s showdown with Juventus, but insists he’ll not only be there, “I want to decide the match.”
The Milan star skipped yesterday’s training session due to a muscular problem and will require a late fitness test.
“I will do everything I can to be there,” he told the Gazzetta dello Sport. “In recent games I had been in great shape physically and hope to be the same way against Juve.”
The Brazilian was in the news over the last 10 days for complaining about his new deeper role to accommodate Ronaldinho.
“I confirm I have to improve my rapport on the field with Ronaldinho, as when people said I wasn’t sharp enough in the box, that was down to certain tactical issues.
“However, I want to reaffirm that I have no problems with Ronaldinho, nor will I have trouble adapting. I like challenges and finding myself more in tune with him on the pitch is another challenge I wish to win.”
Some critics called Kaka egotistical for making those statements last week, but he assures it is all for the good of Milan.
“I’m used to that attitude now. If you shoot then that was a mistake, if you pass it that was an error too. I don’t pay attention to the critics any more.
“All I am interested in is helping the team and being decisive in any way possible, even if that means going in goal and saving a penalty!”
Sunday’s showdown will decide who out of Juventus and Milan will give chase to runaway leaders Inter before the Christmas break.
“What do Inter have more than Milan? Six points.”
