Kaka parades Ballon d'OrSunday 2 December, 2007Kaka has paraded his Ballon d’Or trophy in Milan’s Piazza Duomo and pledged to stay for many years.
The Brazilian was in Paris this morning to pick up the ‘France Football’ award for Player of 2007, but came straight back to Italy to celebrate.
He leaned over the balcony in Piazza Duomo and showed the Golden Ball to over 2,000 fans who waited for him in the square.
“I want to win a lot more with this club and double all the trophies I have so far, from the Champions League to the Ballon d’Or,†he told Italia 1.
“This is my fifth season here. I have had many opportunities to walk away, but it is only normal that a Milan player is highly sought after.
“I want to become the captain of this side and a symbol. My future will be here and I am happy at Milan.â€
Ricky has been the subject of a series of bids from Real Madrid, going up to a reported £80m, but insists he has no intention of walking away.
“I have a great rapport with my teammates and the club. Why would I want to change?â€
::channel4:: Sweet!!! Guys, I don't think we're giving this as much heft as it deserves. Just because it was a much expected individual victory for Kaka does not mean we should take it for granted. It is a big thing, and a rare occasion to smile in this dark season! Now post every single picture you find here, I'm going to do the same. I hope we find some from the Piazza Duomo celebration!
Once again, thank you Ricky!!! Congratulations and best wishes for future victories
with Milan!! I truly hope he actually means the words he spoke... I couldn't stand it again to see someone spell Maldini's name so bitterly!
