Ricky Kaka said his 300th appearance in a Milan shirt went “better than I could’ve expected,” beating Chievo 3-0.
The Brazilian netted his 12th Serie A brace after a Mario Balotelli volley at San Siro.
“The goal means many things. It is a special moment for us, tonight was an important achievement for me to play 300 games and it went better than I could’ve expected. I am very happy,” he told Sky Sport Italia.
The Rossoneri were in crisis a week ago, but have now notched up two consecutive victories.
“Football is wonderful and painful precisely because it changes so quickly. I said last week our locker room was not divided and people could see that tonight.
“We had two wins and a draw now, so these are results that will help us to end the season on a high.
“At the moment we are testing out many things with the Coach to find the best solution. I’ve always said I like to play in the middle, but I will play anywhere the team needs me.”
Even with this upturn in results, Milan’s chances of qualifying for the Europa League remain slim.
“What we do today is useful for the future, as the way we play and are set out on the field will help us next season.”
Kaka was asked about his comments that he’d like to play in the American MLS.
“I am happy here. Every time I am at Milan, people only want to talk about my future!”
