Kaka Tortures Real Just By Getting Confused

By: Martha | August 3rd, 2007

Praise Jesus.As you may have heard, AC Milan are in Moscow right now — they’re taking part in the rather flash Russian Railway Cup, along with PSV Eindhoven, Lokomotiv Moscow and a little club called Real Madrid. (Actually Milan’s first game just ended; they lost to PSV 4-3 in PKs after a scoreless game. Which, since Milan have zero strikers at the tournament, isn’t exactly surprising.)

When Milan arrived at the airport yesterday, Real also were just landing and, because apparently things can get chaotic in airports even when you’re one of the biggest football teams in the world (It’s sort of reassuring that you can’t just buy travel sanity.), a few of the Milan players — namely Kaka, Cafu, and Rino Gattuso — got a little lost trying to find the team bus. So, like any millionaire footballers, they just clambered onto the first luxury coach they found. The problem was, however, that it wasn’t theirs. Oops.

Yes, the Real directors must have thought they’d died and gone to heaven when they saw The Great Kaka climb onto their team bus like he owned the place. Disappointingly, though, no kidnappings were attempted. Instead, everyone laughed heartily at the error, did some hand-shaking and schmoozing, and the Milan trio wandered off, chuckling wisely about the craziness of life. (One assumes they found the proper bus, but since that information isn’t actually included in any of the articles I can find, it’s possible they’re still wandering the streets outside the Moscow airport.)

Frankly, I’m stunned (and a bit disappointed) the Spanish press aren’t portraying this as a revelation of Kaka’s true desires, and a frantic attempt to escape from the club who are so cruelly keeping him from going to Madrid. Clearly they’ve lost their edge. (At least in their articles on the mix-up, they pretend Cafu and Gattuso weren’t there. That’s something, I guess.)

    Oh, don’t worry. The Madrid papers know they just have to report this story and the overactive imaginations of the Real fans will run wild. And trust me, they do not disappoint.

    And what did I find among with pictures of the match this evening? One of Kaka (and Cafu) speaking to some of the Brazilian members of Real (interestingly it was Emerson and Cicinho, both rumored to be off to Italy).

    Nice, Louise — let the press frenzy begin!

    (I noticed Ibrahimovic and Chivu talking chumily at Figo’s benefit match in June. And, hey, turns out they’re on the same team now. Sure the Milan-Real Brazilian chats were just as sinister.)

    Yeah, Martha, something like:

    Emerson: So, Ricky, buddy, put in a good word for me with Ancelotti, would you?

    Cicinho: How do you say ‘I’ll only play left back’ in Italian?

    Hey, I’m almost never around more than a post or two on weekends, even when Inter don’t lose. (And this isn’t an Inter blog, you know! I’m not allow to lament too much here. I will, however, see if I can work something about Roma’s loss into a post.)

    [...] Real Madrid President Ramon Calderon has finally killed off the Kaka to Real Madrid rumour, which we genuinely feared was going to live forever. The rumour actually predates The Offside, as it all started when Calderon was elected Real president in July 2006 with a promise to sign the Brazilian playmaker. The Kaka to Real story reappears every few months, and no doubt Calderon et al have made the occasional approach to see how many big bags of euros Milan would want. They even managed to tempt Kaka onto the Real team bus last year. [...]
