FIFPro, the world players union have announced their World Player of the Year and World XI. Milans brilliant Brazilian Kaka has lifted the 2006-2007 title. The award was made to a delighted Kaka today in Milan.

 

FIFPro’s (Federation Internationale des Footballeurs Professionels) 57,500 members around the globe cast their votes and Champion’s League winner Kaka came out on top. He takes over from fellow countryman Ronaldhino who has held the title for the last two years.

I would like to thank my teammates and coaches and everyone involved at Milan and the national team, as well as my family and friends for their support. Thank you also to FIFPro for this award and for your work in protecting the interests and welfare of players around the world.

 

‘My aim is to keep on listening and learning from others and to keep improving as a player and as a person, it is a privilege to be a professional footballer and it is our duty to work hard to be the best we can be for our team mates, supporters, club and country and to earn the respect of fellow men.’

So Ronaldo's English now is he? :S

 

Just noticed that now, but too late to edit it, not my fault though.

 

I`m surprised Puyol is in the team but apart from that I think its alright.

Disgrace that Riise isn't in there. He's much better than all those other non Norwegian types.
