‘I’ll be your Kaka’ – how Joao Felix hopes to emulate ‘idol’ at Milan

AC Milan signed Joao Felix on the final day of the winter transfer window meaning he has been at the club for just over one week, but fans already like what they see.

As this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes, there are obvious similarities between Joao Felix and Ricardo Kaka, an icon of Milan who was and continues to be adored by supporters.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic responded without hesitation when asked in yesterday’s press conference about who Felix reminds him of: “Kakà. The Brazilian was fluid, dynamic like I see Joao Felix today. Joao likes playing games with the ball more, Kakà was perhaps more clinical.

“But it’s not fair to compare him to others, Felix is ​​a great talent, still young and will make his way here. It’s true that he’s on loan, but if he does well anything is possible.”

It is also possible that he remains beyond the summer, as the player himself hinted: “I feel good here, if there was the possibility of staying I would like to.

“Kaka? He is my favorite player of all time. I never spoke to him about my arrival at Milan, but in the past I met him in the USA and did an interview with him. He’s an idol, I can’t compare myself to him but maybe I could do in Milan what he did.”
