“It’s always great to see you, brother”, Kaka wrote in the caption of a photo taken with C. Ronaldo on Instagram Story on Sunday. Kaka and C. Ronaldo both arrived at Real in 2009 and were teammates here for 4 years. Kaka is three years older than C. Ronaldo. After that, Kaka returned to AC Milan in 2013 in a free form because he did not meet expectations with a £56 million contract.

The once Brazilian legend also shared photos taken with his mother and son CR7, with MU rookie Antony. The 2007 Golden Ball also posted intimate moments with some fellow Brazilian or Portuguese stars playing for Arsenal such as Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhães, Fabio Viera, Cedric Soares and MU rookie Casemiro. Before that, he posted a photo with his compatriot, former goalkeeper Julio Cesar, when he went to Old Trafford to watch the Super Sunday match, the evening of September 4.

On September 5, Kaka posted a photo of the training ground at the Aon training complex (Carrrington training center) with the caption: “Today’s class”. The Sun said it is possible that Kaka and Julio Cesar will go to Carrington to participate in a training course of the European Football Federation UEFA. Kaka is completing his studies to get his coaching license.

There is said to be a special friendship between C. Ronaldo and Kaka, formed before they both returned to Real. The two famous players are both stars that attract many female fans with their dashing appearance. In 2007, when Kaka won the Golden Ball, C. Ronaldo received the Silver Ball and Messi finished third. The former Brazilian midfielder was the last person to win the Golden Ball before CR7 and Messi took turns dominating this award 10 years later.

Both speaking Portuguese, the two became close when they became teammates at Real. However, in real life, C. Ronaldo and Kaka rarely interact because of their different lifestyles while at the Bernabeu. While Kaka is a family man, happily married to his ex-wife Caroline Celico, the Portuguese superstar is a charming single father who enjoys a liberal, vibrant lifestyle. In 2015, both experienced emotional breakdown when Kaka and Caroline divorced and CR7 broke up with supermodel Irina Shayk. Two years later, the duo announced their new love.

In the match on Sunday (September 4), C. Ronaldo continued to sit on the bench like the previous three matches. He came on to replace rookie Antony at the beginning of the second half. The Portuguese superstar played energetically, showing a positive and strong image but did not score any goals. CR7 also received many compliments for applauding Antony’s goal in the first half, encouraging his teammates’ morale when they were tied 1-1 at the beginning of the second signal.
