Real Madrid star Kaka: Pellegrini sack talk is ludicrous

Kaka has branded talk of Manuel Pellegrini being under pressure at Real Madrid as "ludicrous".

The Brazilian insists the players are behind the Real coach and says he deserves time to get his methods across.

Kaka told the Guardian: "The media and public created the idealisation that you would immediately reap the benefits of all the signings, mine and Cristiano's included, while the people who live football know that it takes time to get things going. Expectations will always be high and obviously it is not normal for Real to be hammered by a lower league team [they were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by third division Alcorcón this week, after losing the first leg 4-0].

"But to expect us to win all games 4-0 or start talking about a crisis and sacking the manager [Manuel Pellegrini] when we are only one point behind Barcelona in La Liga and joint top with Milan in our Champions League group is a bit ludicrous."
