What are you implying there, Jack? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Shite. Just realised what repercussions that could have! I take it back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Galliani: "Kaká won't play in front of the defense. Allegri wants to play him as trequartista. It was just an experiment in a friendly match, nothing more"

This just goes to show you how full of sh*t Italian papers are sometimes. 35-40 minutes as playmaker in a friendly game and they all came up with all these articles about Kaká's new position. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Well Allegri himself mentioned his "new role" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

And Allegri has not played Kaka as a trequartista, he's usually a winger in the ridiculous 4-3-3 we play

Indeed he is. And it's the new Kaka - he works on the left with freedom to roam centrally.

And it works well, you HAVE to admit?

It's actually more of a 4-3-2-1, because both Kaká and Birsa ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) sometimes expand their game from a more central position. Kaká falls back in midfield and tries to initiate attacks by himself. Allegri's pure 4-3-3 involved El Shaa and Boateng/Niang completely on the flanks.

Yes, that's what the old 4-3-3 from last season was aimed at, but about 70% of Kaka's best work these days is on the left with 30% in the middle.

At least that's how it looked to mine naked eye but stats say otherwise:

Actions areas from today's match. It's curious how facts can actually contradict what you believe you saw. Heavily involved on the left, yes, but it seems he spends more time in the hole.

[X-Offender]

Yep. Like I said, he starts off centrally and then shifts his game on the left. Birsa does the same but on the right.

Birsa just stands around like a potted plant shifting from centre to wide right

Kaka does all his best work in the centre for me, sure he drifts to either wing when play is being built up there but his major contributions come through the centre, which is why we should be going for a 4-3-1-2 with Kaka behind SES and Balo and then go for a 4-2-3-1 when Honda arrives. I think Kaka has proven that we should in fact base our game plan around him as he is THAT good

I actually think Kaká gives his best as a mezzapunta, basically somewhere in-between a trequartista and a SS. That's why I think that with Honda, a 4-3-2-1 would be the best way to go.

I think he's best when he drops in behind a front 2 and puts them through, it depends on what you want more from him, assists or goals

It's the same thing from before, when we had Sheva Kaka was used more for his assists rather than goal scoring, but when we lost Sheva we relied on him more for the goals rather than creativity

These videos are actually kind of depressing.

So the word is we'll sell him after not qualifying for next year's CL?
