Fans who have seen the golden age of brazil know that Kaka is not a samba player in the traditional sense, he is biased towards European players in both style and technique, and the first half of his playing career is also a period of samba football superstars, who recommended the San Siro prince to enter the national team? Many people may think that it is Scolari, after all, Kaka is the head of the Brazilian team who completed under him. However, in the Ronaldo documentary, which was updated on the afternoon of May 29, Beijing time, the Prince of San Siro himself appeared to say that the first person to "nominate" Kaka into the Brazilian team was not Scolari, but the old coach Zagallo.
To be honest, I was surprised that Kaka appeared in the Da Luo documentary after the ball, because the reason why Ronaldo was unable to compete successfully for the presidency of the Brazilian Football Association twice was that the players' union led by Dunga did not agree. The San Siro prince is also the leader of the Brazilian players' union, so on the road after retirement, Kaka and "aliens" are actually two factions on the opposite side. Fortunately, at the level of the Brazilian team, the two still seriously discussed, Ronaldo asked: "I know Scolari has long been concerned about you, but at that time we had too many stars, who was the first to nominate you to enter the eyes of the national team coaching staff?" ”
"Zagallo." Kaka replied that it was a somewhat old name, and although Zagalo had been in and out of the Brazilian coach position four times, the last time as the head coach of the national team and working with the San Siro prince, when Kaka entered the national team, it was not Zagaro who was in power. However, when the samba football star performed well in the u20 national team, Zagallo strongly recommended to Scolari to let Kaka enter the Brazilian team to try it, considering that the samba army in 2001 was difficult in the South American qualifiers, and it was obvious that young players did not have the courage to use at this time.
Fortunately, the Brazilian team has entered the main stage of the Korea-Japan World Cup in a "more ugly" way, but this "inexplicable" qualifier trip has awakened the samba football world - it seems that you have many stars, in fact, your team has a lot of problems! Therefore, in the warm-up match that began in 2002, Scolari was not "moved by fame", resolutely excluded a number of Brazilian veterans, including the qualifier Romario, and used a lot of newcomers, Kaka, who was still playing in Sao Paulo at the time, was a newcomer who was "preferentially treated", and the first person to nominate him to be selected was the old coach Zagallo, not the then Samba Legion coach Scolari.
In the previous "President, Ronaldo", it was learned that when the Prince of San Siro made the big list before the World Cup in Korea and Japan, he actually competed with Adriano for a place to be selected. Although in that World Cup, these two young people born in 82 years, no matter who was selected, most of them could only occupy a substitute place and it was difficult to have a chance to play. However, public opinion in Brazil at that time was more inclined to Adriano, who had already proved himself in the Europa League , because the "Inter Kings" looked more talented, could be close to Ronaldo and could be a substitute striker for the World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
In fact, when Da Luo was in the first six months of that World Cup, the injury was still recovering, even if he could recover on time before the Start of the World Cup, he did not have enough to play to consider his chances, how to be selected? Therefore, at that time, Brazilian domestic public opinion was more inclined to let "Adriano be selected, perhaps instead of Ronaldo". Of course, it is not that Kaka did not perform well around 2002, he was already a star in the Brazilian league at that time, but it was still difficult for him to compete with so many midfielder superstars and superstars of the same age, and Zagaro's nomination at that time undoubtedly gave Kaka a lot of chips.
As an important figure in the "first nomination" Kaka, does Zagaro really just value the down-to-earth efforts of Prince San Siro? Kaka said: "He (Zagaro) thinks I'm a very courageous person. After the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Ronaldinho was banned for a red card, and Kaka proposed to Scolari to start in the semifinals to replace Luo Jr. Although he did not get the opportunity to play in the semi-finals, this temperament is invaluable, after all, in the golden stage of samba football where superstars gather, how can he stand out in the super talented group without a certain amount of courage? So after the 2002 World Cup, Zagallo once again coached the national team, and Kaka became the core training object.
