To protect his growth, he avoided weight training and instead took up swimming three times a week with his father.
Originally playing as a forward, Kaká revealed that coach Pita later moved him into a deeper role due to his physical limitations at the time, a decision that ultimately shaped his playing style and career.
Reflecting on his achievements, Kaká described Brazil’s 2002 FIFA World Cup victory as the pinnacle of his career. He said being part of the historic squad and lifting the trophy in his first World Cup remains his most cherished memory.
He also highlighted winning the UEFA Champions League with AC Milan and being crowned the world’s best player in 2007 as defining milestones.
On receiving football’s top individual honors, Kaká shared that he learned about his Ballon d’Or win weeks before the public announcement during a private photoshoot arranged by the organizers. He kept the news within his family.
His FIFA World Player of the Year award came as a surprise, and he recalled an overwhelming rush of emotion when his name was finally announced.
