He said : “When I spoke to the president he showed us his sporting project, and it influenced my decision a lot,” explained Kaka, who had attracted the interest of other clubs, including wealthy English outfits Chelsea and Manchester City. He’s a winner and everything he wants is with this in mind.

“I asked him if he could do everything that he said, and he has shown that he can. It’s a great privilege to form part of great teams. I’ve been fortunate to play with great players, and I’m now going to continue doing the same.”

“My experience in football has told me that talent alone is not enough,” said Kaka, who will be aiming to take Madrid past the last-16 stage of the Champions League for the first time in six years next season. I’ve met players with a lot of talent who have not been successful, and others with less talent who have been champions.

“It’s something else to have a team of players with talent who sacrifice themselves to achieve the same aim.”
