Brazil great, Kaka has opened up on his disappointing spell at Real Madrid, accepting he was ‘absolutely lost’ during his time at the Bernabeu under Jose Mourinho.
The Brazilian, who hung up his boots last year, became one of Real’s Galacticos when he became part of the club in a £56million deal from AC Milan in the summer of 2009.
Moreover, after an inspiring first season under Manuel Pellegrini, Kaka struggled for form and fitness during Mourinho’s three-year stint with the Spanish giants.
‘Jose Mourinho was a tough coach for me and we had a respectful but difficult relationship.
‘When I thought he would give me an opportunity, I couldn’t prove to him that I was in good shape.
‘I trained, I fought and I prayed a lot, but having not received the confidence of the coach, I discovered that I could not work with him.’
Moreover, despite his matter with Mourinho, Kaka revealed that the Portuguese sent him a positive message when he left Real for Chelsea in 2013.
He expressed: ‘The joy I had was to receive a message when he left Real Madrid and said that I was one of the topmost players he worked with.’
Kaka left the Bernabeu during the same summer as Mourinho, returning to AC Milan before spells at Sao Paulo and Orlando City. He resigned in December last year.
