World Cup
Kaka is still crucial to Brazil’s hopes of a sixth World Cup crown, according to teammate Robinho.
Robinho outshone the Real Madrid star in the Selecao’s opening Group G victory over North Korea on Tuesday.
But Robinho has no doubt that he remains an important figure for Brazil as they prepare for games against Portugal and Ivory Coast in the next week.
“When Kaka plays well he can decide any game. He is very important to us.
“The Selecao has excellent players and if we have to replace anyone we are reassured by the quality we have.”
