My legendary hero

Greetings!

While growing, there's this particular being I have always wanted to be like and the reason behind my love for this fellow is because of his talent in his field.

This my hero while growing up is a football player and I love him so much because of how disciplined he was while plying his football trade across all the clubs he had played for.

Kaka, the Brazilian player is one of the best round leather game players I have always wanted to be like in life and this is because of his passion for his career and his loyalty to every of the club sides he has played for.

When this man was still playing football, he was known for his professionalism and discipline, you won't just see him playing rough in a football man unlike others that played in his era roughly. This man is a great talent and his talent transverse the whole continent of the world during his playing days.

Also, his gentility and his love for his creator drew him to me and I could remember him celebrating one of his goals in a real Madrid all white shirt by acknowledging God. When I saw this, I was so excited and my love for this great legend grew stronger.

Although I'm not a fan of most of the clubs he played for, my love for him would always endear me to watching the games or matches of his clubs.

Recently, I read a news article about him where his wife was trying to file a divorce against him. When I read the content of the news, I was disappointed as the woman had no tangible reason for the divorce other than the man being too perfect for him.

This what the woman said was painful for me, but at the same time, i was also happy that the man is a perfect gentle man on and off the field which shows he's fit to be my hero.

So, my growing up was full of love for this man called Kaka and whenever we are playing street football on my street, I am always called the name young Kaka as I have chosen to play like him, run like him and even celebrate like him whenever I score a goal.

Aside from this, I also made sure I customized my shirt into his shirt number 8 and his name Kaka.

Although I have not met or watched him live at the stadium, this man has really made me love him more than any other person, especially his contemporaries in his days. Like I said, I have not met him because, but my greatest wish is to meet him and also embrace him and take photographs with him.

This is my entry to the hiveghana weekly prompt.
