Kaka thanks South African fans
Brazilian superstar Kak� has thanked the thousands of South Africans that attended their opening match against Korea DPR on an incredibly chilly evening in Johannesburg.
Despite sub-zero temperatures, the packed Ellis Park stadium, with attendance figures reaching 54,331, was swarming with Brazil fans - both international and local - decked out in the distinctive yellow and green.
The famous Brazilian number 10, real name Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, said, �It�s very good to be back and we are very happy for the support we received from South African people during the match.�
The team is currently staying in Johannesburg�s suburb of Randburg and has its training camp at the local high school.
�We are enjoying training there. It is good,� said Kak�.
Asked how they were spending their time off and if there were any plans to visit some of South Africa�s famed tourist destinations, Kak� said, �that would be nice but I don�t know. We had two days off but we stayed in the hotel.�
Brazil beat Korea DPR 2-1 and will remain in Johannesburg as they prepare for their second match against African giants Cote d�Ivoire on 20 June.
