when he was @ man u, his haters were blinded to his ability cos of their hatred for his club or rather their allegiance to rival cubs
many refer to him as a diver who was overated by the aggresive english media that was looking for a poster boy to market its league. even when he eventually won world player of d year, his hater down played it by saying he simply had a good yr forgetting he had come 2nd and 3rd respectively prior to his eventual triumph. The also forget the diversity of the voters 4 all d awards he won.
1-ballon dor (voted by european journalists)
2-fifpro (by fellow footballer)
3-fifa gong(by national coaches)
4-all those won it respect to premiership
Its not just d amount of goals he scores but the variety of goals

when he decided to move to spain, i understood with him as he felt he had sumtin 2 prove. d haters were like -he cant make it in spain o! -does he think he will be d only one there? -d other stars in madrid will drown him out, -

but alas he is now the brightest star real madrid have. his haters said kaka was d beta player and wud relegate him to d bench, but alas without him madrid struggle as evident during his injury. now its kaka who struggling.

now 6 goals in 4 UCL game along with his displays have d haters struggling to xplain their earlier stand

His madrid move has finally earned him the respect he was long overdue
