Kaka: "...acts of violence risk distancing the top players from our Serie A."

Kaka has spoken out about his concerns for the Italian game, following the death of a Lazio supporter at the weekend and the riots that followed.

The AC Milan playmaker believes that the continued spate of violent incidents surrounding Italian football could be putting players off joining teams in Serie A:

"All these acts of violence risk distancing the top players from our Serie A.

"The world-class players want to play in great teams and in Italy there are some of the most prestigious clubs in the world.

"But they are also looking for joy and enthusiasm.

"First Calciopoli [the Italian match fixing scandal], then the police officer killed in Catania. Now this tragedy. A fan killed while he was going to see a game.

"Italy is losing credibility. The list is becoming too long."

His comments may add further credence to reports that Real Madrid are still interested in taking the Brazilian to the Bernabeu, as it appears that Kaka is far from happy with the current state of Italian football.
