    'He had a tremendous influence on the game and was extremely effective on both sides of the pitch,' group member Abdel Moneim Hussein of Sudan said. 'Kaka's attacking capabilities helped Brazil to reach a new level. On top of that he is also an honest player who never complains. His behaviour is always exemplary and he is the perfect player in that respect too.'
