KAKA
KAKA
Kaká was born in São José do Belmonte, Pernambuco. Until 2006 he was on contract to União Bandeirante Futebol Clube, also being loaned to several modest Brazilian clubs. For 2006–07 he made the move to Europe, joining Portuguese side Académica de Coimbra and being an undisputed starter in his second season in the top division (all 30 games played, 2,700 minutes of action), as the Students finished in 12th position.
In the 2008 summer Kaká signed with Bundesliga club Hertha BSC, for €1.9 million. He made his debut in the competition on 17 August, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 away win against Eintracht Frankfurt, and finished his first season with 12 matches; after only appearing twice for the Berlin outfit in the first half of 2009–10 – the campaign eventually ended in relegation – he was loaned to AC Omonia in Cyprus on 31 January 2010, helping the club win the First Division title for the first time in seven years.
After his return Kaká continued to be rarely played at Hertha and, in another winter transfer window move, returned to Portugal and joined S.C. Braga, yet on loan.[1] With the Minho club, he established himself as a regular, finishing the 2010–11 campaign with 20 official appearances, including eight in the team's UEFA Europa League run to the final, with the player playing in the decisive match against F.C. Porto (0–1 loss).
At the end of the season, Kaká returned to Hertha.[2] On the last day of the 2011 summer transfer window he was once again loaned, this time to Cypriot champions and UEFA Champions League contenders APOEL FC.[3] Kaká made his debut in the Champions League on 19 October 2011 in a 1–1 draw with Porto at the Estádio do Dragão.[4] He added a further three appearances in the competition as APOEL eventually became the first Cypriot club to reach both the knockout stages and the quarterfinals for the first time ever.
In the summer of 2012, Kaká signed with Hungarian club Videoton FC,[5] and in January 2013 he moved to Spanish La Liga side Deportivo de La Coruña.
On 29 January 2014, Kaká signed an 18-month contract with APOEL FC, returning to his former club after one-and-a-half years.[6] He made his debut on 9 February 2014, coming on as an 84th minute substitute in APOEL's 2–1 home win against Apollon Limassol for the Cypriot First Division,[7] and scored his first official goal one week later, in his team's 3–1 away win against Alki Larnaca.[8]
Lionel Andrés Messi
Lionel Andrés Messi
Lionel Andrés Messi (Spanish pronunciation: [ljoˈnel anˈdɾes ˈmesi] ( listen); born 24 June 1987) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team. He serves as the captain of his country's national football team. By the age of 21, Messi had received Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations. The following year, in 2009, he won his first Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards. He followed this up by winning the inaugural FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2010, and then again in 2011 and 2012. He also won the 2010–11 UEFA Best Player in Europe Award. At the age of 24, Messi became Barcelona's all-time top scorer in all official club competitions. At age 25, Messi became the youngest player to score 200 La Liga goals.
Commonly ranked as the best player in the world and rated by some commentators, coaches and players as the greatest footballer of all time,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Messi is the first football player in history to win four FIFA/Ballons d'Or, all of which he won consecutively, as well as the first to win three European Golden Shoe awards. With Barcelona, Messi has won six La Ligas, two Copas del Rey, five Supercopas de España, three UEFA Champions Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups and two Club World Cups.
Messi is the first and only player to top-score in four consecutive Champions League campaigns, and also holds the record for the most hat-tricks scored (4) in the history of the competition. In March 2012, Messi made Champions League history by becoming the first player to score five goals in one match. He also matched José Altafini's record of 14 goals in a single Champions League season. Messi set the European record for most goals scored in a season during the 2011–12 season, with 73 goals. In the same season, he set the current goalscoring record in a single La Liga season, scoring 50 goals. Also in that season, Messi became the first player ever to have scored and assisted in six different official competitions in one season. On 16 February 2013, Messi scored his 300th Barcelona goal. On 30 March 2013, Messi scored in his 19th consecutive La Liga game, becoming the first footballer in history to net in consecutive matches against every team in a professional football league. He extended his record scoring streak to 21 consecutive league matches, and the run came to a halt only when he sustained a hamstring injury.
Messi helped Argentina win the 2005 FIFA U-20 World Cup, finishing as both the best player and the top scorer (with 6 goals). In 2006, he became the youngest Argentine to play in the FIFA World Cup, and won a runners-up medal at the Copa América in 2007, in which he was elected young player of the tournament. In 2008, he won his first international honour, an Olympic Gold Medal, with the Argentina Olympic football team. SportsPro has rated him as the second-most marketable athlete in the world. His playing style and stature have drawn comparisons to compatriot Diego Maradona, who himself declared Messi his "successor".[12]
