Kaka: Milan Are Not A One-Man Team

Midfield maestro Kaka has hit out at those who say that Milan are a one-man team, and says the club’s success is down to everyone.

The Brazilian is undoubtedly the Rossoneri’s star man and on Sunday he was crowned as the 2007 winner of the Ballon d’Or.

Some sources have suggested that Milan wouldn’t be in Japan competing for the FIFA Club World Cup if they didn’t have Kaka in the team.

“Did I bring Milan here? No, it was an equal exchange,” the 25-year-old maintained.

“I did my best, but Milan isn’t just Kaka - it’s a team.

"We always play to win and I’m going to this competition looking to win it all.”

Milan are set to play Japanese J-League side Urawa Reds in the semi-final in Yokohama, before a probable final contest against Copa Libertadores winners Boca Juniors.

The Argentine-giants beat Milan on penalties in the final in 2003 and Kaka is looking for revenge.

“I want to play Boca,” he stressed. “Mostly because we lost to them four years ago and also because the tradition of this tournament is that a European side meets a South American one in the Final.

“Three years ago I never thought I’d be here again with the Ballon d’Or on the mantelpiece. Today I am really satisfied with everything that we have achieved.”
