Over the course of his first two seasons with Orlando City, Brazilian star Kaká recorded 18 goals and 17 assists in 52 games. As he entered the third and final year of his contract, rumors about his future with the club started popping up, putting in question the midfielder’s ability to remain competitive in MLS at the age of 35.
After missing five games thanks to a hamstring injury he suffered in the 10th minute of Orlando’s season opener, Kaká returned to action last Saturday in the 2-0 home win against the Colorado Rapids, and found an important ally in his battle to show he’s still productive: Head Coach Jason Kreis’ 4-4-2 diamond formation.
