Me As Captain? We'll See - Kaká
Kaká talked about the possibility of becoming the Milan's next captain after Paolo Maldini hangs up his boots.
Lately there's been a lot of talk and rumours concerning the identity of Milan's new first-choice captain after Paolo Maldini finally hangs up his boots (which might not be already this year...). It's been suggested that Gennaro 'Rino' Gattuso intends to leave the club unless he is named the next Milan captain, and it seems as if star playmaker Kaká forms a big threat in this particular race for the gritty midfielder.
However, the Golden Ball winner predictably kept things vague when he was asked about this subject.
"Perhaps one day we'll talk about this, but there's no hurry," he said. "I think that at the moment there are some team mates who have the desire to become captain of Milan. It's normal. I respect the hierarchies at Milan, one day we'll come together to decide about this."
Another strong candidate for the coveted captain's armband is midfielder Massimo Ambrosini, who has been at the club since 1995 (barring a brief loan spell at Vicenza), four years longer than 'Rino', so perhaps Gattuso's demand to be the new captain seems a bit unjustified.
