Kaka: I may quit Milan

[AFII]

AC Milan star Kaka says he could be forced to quit Italian football if the violence continues.

There have been several instances of hooliganism in recent times, and the problems reached a peak at the weekend after Kaka, who has been repeatedly linked with a move to Real Madrid, has already spoken of his concerns that the violence could deter top players from moving to Serie A, and has now suggested it could lead him to leave Milan to protect his family.

"Could I leave Italy? Yes, if the episodes of violence continue," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"The football I love is happiness. At this time, I can't enjoy myself. Should there be big problems that would prevent me doing my job in an adequate way, anything could happen.

"There is the possibility of going to another country.

"I'm also worried for my family's safety. My wife and parents frequently come to the stadium. How can you be tranquil in this way?"

I can see alot of top players in Italy leave after all the trouble that has happend recently.

There wont be the same money from TV and stadium attendances as Italian football is dropped down below the Prem,La Liga in the last few years and is a distant 3rd.

Italian football = useless

Never watch it anymore

If he wants to play football in the best atmosphere and the best league, he should join us.

It's sad to see how far Italian club football has fallen recently.

As silverfox said they are now a distant third to England and Spain.

I remember the days of watching Football Italia highlights and marvelling at the skills of Maradona, Baggio, Del Piero and co.

Happy days.

Kaka - I May Quit Italian Football...!

TERESOPOLIS, Brazil, Nov 13 (Reuters) - AC Milan and Brazil midfielder Kaka said on Tuesday he would consider leaving Italian soccer if fan violence and other scandals continued to dog the game there.

Kaka said he was saddened and shocked by the hooliganism that forced his side's game at Atalanta in Bergamo on Sunday to be abandoned after seven minutes.

"It's sad and I was a direct victim because the fans stopped the game and we didn't play," he told reporters after training with Brazil, who are away to Peru in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday.

"It was a sad experience."

The violence followed the shooting of a Lazio fan by a police officer following scuffles with Juventus supporters at a motorway service station. Police said the shooting was accidental.

Italy was also hit by a match-fixing scandal two years ago, dubbed Calciopoli, and the killing of a policeman during riots outside a Catania match in February.

"Something must be done, it's a social problem and it goes beyond football," said Kaka.

"In the end, it's the players who are punished. They cancel the game, the championship is suspended, we never know when we are going to play, but we have to keep training and make ourselves available."


URBAN VIOLENCE

Asked if the problems could prompt him to leave, Kaka, a top target for Real Madrid, replied: "Of course it could. It's not the first time.

"It's not that I want to change clubs because I'm happy at Milan, but if these situations keep happening, I have to wonder whether it's worth it and if I'm still enjoying what I'm doing."

Kaka added that he found Brazil's urban violence more frightening.

"It's different," he said. "The threat of kidnapping frightens me more but this is still worrying.

"A lot of families and children are in the stadiums and our own families are there as well."

Earlier on Tuesday, Kaka said in an interview with Italian sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport that other top players would shun Italy if the trouble continued.

"All these acts of violence risk distancing the top players from our Serie A," he said.

"The world class players want to play in great teams and in Italy there are some of the most prestigious clubs in the world. But they are also looking for joy and enthusiasm." (Editing by Sonia Oxley)
