Pele puts his money on AC Milan
21.5 ||
Football Italia
The countdown to the Champions League Final continues and legend Pele has
tipped Milan to take the trophy in Athens thanks to Kaka and Clarence
Seedorf.
"It is logical that they are the favourites, considering how they improved
against Bayern Munich and Manchester United. This is the great opportunity
to take revenge for Istanbul," he told the 'Gazzetta dello Sport.'
Although Liverpool were also the underdogs in 2005, they came back from 3-0
down to win on penalties.
"This will be a very different game to the two legs against Manchester
United. Liverpool do not play that kind of spectacular, open and attacking
football. They are physically strong, clam up and go on the counter pushed
by Steven Gerrard. A cool head will be essential."
Pele believes the key to the encounter on May 23 will be in the middle of
the park.
"I can imagine a great battle between Javier Mascherano and Gennaro Gattuso.
Milan are technically superior and have two players who can make the
difference Kaka and Seedorf.
"The Dutchman gives a quiet balance, hides the ball from opponents and
provides assists. Together those two equal a Champions League winning
combination."
Whatever the result, it looks as if Kaka will be crowned top scorer for this
competition, having already netted 10 goals.
"He is the best player in the world along with Ronaldinho," added the
Brazilian. "I hope he can bring the Champions League to Milan. He above all
reminds me of Johann Cruyff with that progression, pace, eye for goal and
when he starts from midfield he's unique.
"Kaka has improved so much more than I thought possible even if you
could tell from a young age he would go far. When he is on form, Milan are
devastating."
The semi-final with Manchester United was painted by the media as a battle
between Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo for the Ballon d'Or, won convincingly by
the Serie A star.
"Ronaldo is on the road to being among the best, but there's a long way to
go yet. He reminds me of Julinho, who played for Palmeiras and Fiorentina. I
put him in the second tier along with Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney."
