I. Ricardo Izexon dos Santos Wright (Kaka)
Mentioning this long name, if it is not a Brazilian or Milan die-hard, is basically difficult to react to, which player are we talking about?
To this day, I believe there are still many fans who do not know, in fact, [Kaka] is the nickname of this player or the nickname of the green field. The nickname is derived from Ricardo's younger brother Digao, who when he was a child could not spell out his brother's real name, Ricardo, so he often called Cacá in the middle part of his brother's name, and put the accent on the second syllable, which reads very much like Kaká.
Subsequently, purely for the sake of simplicity and beauty, Ricardo himself simply informed the outside world that he could call himself Kaká by his name. If measured from the perspective of popularity, the nickname of [Kaka] is undoubtedly the most successful one in the history of football.
