England a very tough team to play against: Kaka

DOHA - Brazil striker Kaka has warned football fans to forget about sexy football during their friendly against England in Doha on Saturday, saying he only cares about beating England.

Kaka says he expects a tough game against England and sees manager Fabio Capello as the key to England’s development as one of the strongest teams in next year’s World Cup.

“England are a very tough team to play against. For us, it’s good. It’s a huge motivation to understand how to play against them. The most important thing is to win. The best thing is to win. Afterwards we must try to make a good event for everybody. But winning is the priority ahead of anything else,” The Sun quoted Kaka, as saying.

“Not only England, but a lot of the Brazil team are injured so the game is not as rich. But it’s still a good game to see how England play and to face one of the favourites to win the next World Cup,” he added.

The 27-year-old is a keen observer of the English game and has been impressed by the way Capello has resurrected the national squad from the ashes of their failure to reach Euro 2008, to the World Cup finals with nine wins in ten qualifiers. (ANI)
