Kaka: We’re Not Afraid of Arsenal

We don’t fear Arsenal.

That’s the opinion of the Brazilian, who is currently with AC Milan in Dubai for winter training. He had met fans in an autograph session in Dubai on Sunday.

The 25-year-old has brushed off suggestions that AC Milan will face a difficult challenge against Arsenal.

Despite the Italian Serie A outfit lying in 12th place, he believes that the team’s victories against Manchester United and Liverpool in their Champions League campaign last season, showed that Milan are capable of taking on the best English clubs.

He said: “We beat two other English teams last time and we won’t have problems with Arsenal.”

After clinching the 2007 World Player of the Year award, Kaka acknowledged that there is more responsibility on him to perform at his best for Milan.

Instead of resting on his laurels, he wants to perform even better when the Serie A resumes action.

"Every year my responsibility to myself, my team and the fans grows greater," Kaka added.

"It's up to me to fulfil my role in the team and for us to be positive and for us to achieve."
