The two battled successfully career threatening injuries to become FIFA World Player of the Year.
KAKA at the age of 18 and at the peak of his Sao paulo stint had career-threatening injury, when the young Kaka slipped at a swimming pool fracturing his back. Not only did doctors believe he would never again play soccer, but they feared the worse, as the injury could easily lead to a paralysis.
Kaka managed to miraculously recover and even came back on the pitch the next season! Since then, grateful to God that He saved his life, Kaka donates one tenth of his yearly salary to the Brazilian Church. But the miracle didn't stop here. Just one year after recovering from his injuries Kaka drew the eyes of Brazil's national team staff. Making his debut for Brazil, Kaka was ready for a European career.
He won the FIFA World Cup with Brazil and he went on to join AC Milan and take them to Champions League glory and earned the FIFA player of the year award.
He tortured Liverpool in Athens. With heart on sleeve and slogan on chest, Kaká’s postmatch celebration in Athens on Wednesday night thrust his faith into the spotlight. “I belong to Jesus,” the statement said.
This is what KAKA has to say about his recovery from his career threatening injury
The doctors said that I was lucky to be able to walk normally,” he said. “They were talking about luck and my family was talking about God. We knew that it was His hand that had saved me.”
