AC Milan legend, Riccardo Kakà, winner of a Ballon d'Or with the Rossoneri colours, spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport about his ex club:
"The many goals conceded in recent games will weigh on Milan, but there's always a derby to recover. We need to take advantage of an important appointment to restart. I expect a balanced match. Milan have nothing less than Inter, despite the recent negative results. I repeat, I expect a balanced match. And Milan wins 2-1. A derby is ideal for recovering."
On Rafael Leao, Kakà said:
"A fantastic player, I like him a lot. If he considers Italian football as a stepping stone, it's good to leave, it's the right time. I would advise him to stay, because I don't consider Italian football a stepping stone. And sometimes leaving Milan is not a good idea. I think Leao should consider all possibilities. Milan is giving him a lot. In Qatar, where I was working for BeIN Sport, I met Galliani and we talked for a long time. He says that Serie A is now a stepping stone, then the players go elsewhere. I find it hard to think of it this way, for me the Italian league remains very tough for a striker, and I don't feel like considering it a minor league, despite the different economic potential."
Any advice to Charles De Ketelaere?
"I advise him to enjoy the situation and make the most of the opportunities Milan gives him . He doesn't look like me and I don't like comparisons. They only put pressure on the boys, especially if they join the big clubs. I would say to De Ketelaere to be calm."
Kakà on Juventus:
"What happens to Juve is bad for all of Italian football. I hope they recover soon, they are also an important club in Europe and have many fans. I really hope they come out quickly. We have lived through a different moment in the 2006, taking penalties during the championship is difficult to manage."
