Heart 'n' Soul gone in a week.. Part II

Sunday, June 21, 2009
Just a week after we had to deal with the emotional retirement of Il Capitano the management dropped another ferocious bomb on the hearts of all Milan fans.. Kaka , the 'Soul of Milan' was sold to Real Madrid. Florentino Perez, the newly re-elected president promised for a Galacticos part II and this was the first major signing towards his ambitions. He broke his own record of signing fees which he set up when he bought Zidane from Juve for 46m Euros. Milan gleefully accepted his offer of 58m euros for Kaka.
Most of us already knew that Kaka would leave after what happened in the previous window. Manchester Shitty bid a whooping 100m Euros and management, who always used to say that Kaka was not for sale, was forced to think about the prospect of selling Kaka. Their tongues wagged out seeing the amount of money that the Arabs were offering and they allowed the transfer and leaving the final decision to Kaka. Milan fans urged him not to go. They protested against this transfer by holding up banners inside the San Siro. The Tifosi gathered outside Kaka's house in large no's on the day he was to take the final decision. He acknowledged their love and support and decided against making the move. In the end Silvio again tried to play a hero by saying that he had faith in Kaka but this time everyone could see him making a fool of himself. 
Kaka was never going to leave for a club like shitty. He always used to say that his heart belongs to Milan and he made no secret of his ambitions to captain the Rossoneri in the future but even he must have been shattered after seeing the club management put him on the market. To top it up we did not win a trophy this season. He never really contributed much to Milan this season as he was plagued by injuries and most of the goals he scored were either penalties or tap-ins. Regarding his speed and attacking play, all of us would agree that he was not the same Kaka this season. It was clear that his game was not in sync with R80. Their was no chemistry between them and he never made it a secret. If we weigh up these factors along with the decreasing popularity of Serie A as compared to other leagues we can perhaps figure out why he moved. If there ever was a club that he could move to, it was Real and he made the right choice. I wish him all the best for his future at Madrid and I feel sorry for the crappy defenders of the La Liga because Kaka's gonna run through them any given day. I hope to meet Real in the Champions League and I can see us knocking them out.  
To all Milan fans.. The world certainly doesn't end here because a club is always greater than an individual. We should not forget that Milan made Kaka and its not the other way around. I still have faith in the management that they will put the money from Kaka's transfer to good use and a build a squad that will lead us to glory.

Forza Milan!!

Heart 'n' Soul gone in a week.. Part I

Paolo Maldini.. The Legend.. The Soul of Milan..Il Capitano said goodbye to Milan after the last league game against the Viola. After Roma broke our heart in his final game at the San Siro this was the best way we could bid farewell to the best defender of all time. We won 2-0 and qualified directly for the next season's champions league. The Viola fans gave him a standing ovation and they put up some very insprinational banners all over the stadium to acknowledge the end of a great career. This was a great gesture by them especially after the treatment given to him by the Curva Suds in his last home appearance. Its hard to imagine that some douche bag "fans" put up banners disrespecting a guy who has done so much for the club. He has been such a humble servant to Milan football. An inspirational figure for the youth, a great motivator and a dashing captain who gained respect throughout the world, be it the players or the fans. In this day and age when most of the players are switching clubs, no money talk could lure him away from us. He started his career with us in a youth team and ended it as a Rossoneri. His sheer presence on the field used to inspire our players to perform. Most o' my pals support English clubs and they gave him a standing ovation in front of the TV. I had tears in my eyes when he was leaving the feild. Even Inter fans have their utmost respect for Paolo. If it was in my hands I would change the meaning of the word respect in the dictionary to Paolo Maldini. Damn its hard to describe him in words. This is my way of giving him a farewell- Thanks for everything that you have done for the club and the we will never be able to fill the void that you left behind as a player and as a person. We wish you all the best with your life and hope to see you as a manager of AC Milan in the future.
Grazie Paolo
Forza Milan
