Calcio Debate: If Kaka Moves To Manchester City, Football Is Dead
AC Milan are the most internationally successful club in world football, with a prestige, history, class, and honour that most other teams can only dream of. Seventeen Scudetti, seven Champions League titles, four Intercontinental Cups, a never-ending list of past and current legends, including Rivera, Altafini, Baresi, Maldini, Van Basten, Ronaldinho - you could spend all day talking about the magnificent Milan.
Compare the Rossoneri to Manchester City. Two English league titles (in 1937 and 1968), and one European Cup Winners Cup in 1970, and that is pretty much the club’s history. The Citizens have not won a major honour for 40 years, nor have they even challenged, even dropping down to the third tier a decade ago, while their past greats such as Colin Bell and Francis Lee, despite being superb players, are hardly household continental names.
Milan are currently third in Serie A, with a realistic chance of fighting for the Scudetto. The most dominant club in the Champions League this decade, the Rossoneri are almost certain to return to Europe’s premier cup competition next season, and fight to win it. Meanwhile, Manchester City are floundering down in 15th place in the Premier League, just two points above the relegation zone. There is no hope of making the Champions League next season, while their only realistic chance of qualifying for Europe at all, will be to win the UEFA Cup this season.
So how could it be possible then that one of the world’s greatest footballers could move from the prestigious Milan to the plastic Manchester City?
The day the transfer of Kaka to Manchester City goes through will be marked down in history as the day football died.
Nothing to add to this, only a small corrction: football didn't died it was KILLED!
The killers are well known: S.Berlusca, A.Galliani.....assisting murderers: Sheick $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
