Ahead of Brazil and England’s friendly in Doha, midfielder Kaka is all hails for England and believes they have a great chance of winning the World Cup because they have a glut of quality Premier League players, with Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard being his strong admiration.
Unfortunately, both Kaka and Gerrard will be denied the opportunity to pit their wits against each other in the Friendly, as the Liverpool talisman failed to recover from his groin injury and hence wouldn’t be a part of Fabio Capello’s squad.
Real Madrid forward Kaka told the Guardian, “England have always had individually strong players and I am a huge fan of Stevie Gerrard,â€
“He has the heart of a lion and is the icon of the modern footballer with his ability to attack and defend so well.â€
The former AC Milan star claimed England were more than capable of winning the World Cup next summer, but like any team they would require luck to do so.
Kaka continued: “The World Cup is a competition in which everything needs to work for your advantage.â€
“Players need to be fit, decisions have to go in your favour and details such as a red card can cost a team dearly.â€
“I have no doubts that England can do it.â€
