The Brazil ace admits he wants to enter football politics when he retires and told Corriere della Sera: "At the end of my career, I'd like to enter football politics. I want to do something similar to (UEFA president) Michel Platini."

Kaka also reacted to criticism over his quit threats last week following a weekend of fans violence across Italy.

He said: "I said the violence could force some players to leave Italy - and I was criticised heavily for this. But I only wanted to point things out and help Italy."
