| Kaka: We can win it all |

Kaka has discussed David Beckham, the Scudetto race, Milan's current form and the Ballon d'Or.
England international Beckham is due to arrive in January on loan from his side LA Galaxy.
“Lots of people think that the arrival of Beckham will be a negative thing, but us players think he can give us a hand in winning the title and the UEFA Cup,” Kaka said.
“Often I have to play very close to the midfielders and I would prefer to be closer to the strikers but I know what the team needs.
“I know that I have responsibility because everyone expects goals and assists from me - that gives me an added motivation to make sacrifices for the team.”
Milan's defence has been under fire in recent weeks and there are rumours that new faces will arrive in the New Year.
“Thiago Silva would be very useful,” Kaka admitted. “I have played alongside him for Brazil and he is a great defender. But it's up to the directors to discuss the market.”
After two disappointing defeats, there has been talk of a Milan in crisis ahead of the visit of Catania.
“We aren't having any crisis,” Kaka stressed. “Everyone talks about the two losses and not the 16 games unbeaten.
“Of course we need to make some improvements, but we are second in the table and we are through in the UEFA Cup.
“We need to build more consistency and even when we are winning it is not always with great football.
“Inter are more concrete. They don't play beautiful football, but they are six points ahead of us.”
Kaka concluded by discussing the Ballon d'Or, which Cristiano Ronaldo won at the start of the week.
“Cristiano deserved his win. He won the Champions League for Manchester United and he is a great player. But just wait for next year…”
