bienvenidos, Kaká!

The new era has started!  Kaká was the first new signing to be presented to the Real Madrid faithful, and they really went all out.  It was more like a Hollywood premiere than anything else, especially compared with previous presentations (when the player was presented to the press in a box in the Bernabéu, then went onto the field in his new uniform and kicked the ball around).  This time, we got lights, camera and action.  Plus, shiny trophies, blown up photos of key moments in Madrid’s history, the honorary president, speeches, and a runway!  The entire presentation looked good, if not a bit over the top.  Let’s hope the new Madrid team also looks this good, but with substance underneath as well.

With that said, I loved how excited Kaká seemed to be.  He looked like a little kid when he was peeping out at the stadium in the moments before walking out.  And later on, in the press conference, it was funny when his eyes and head were swiveling all over looking for the reporter who asked a question.  Plus, he looked good in his suit…
