KaKa當年從游泳池跌下撞斷背骨的事發經過一問？

綜合各方資料來說，2000年卡卡大約18 歲，卡卡於泳池中滑倒，當時頭部撞到池底，該次意外導致卡卡vertebrae第六節椎骨骨裂。

由於類似意外傷者多會癱瘓，醫生都認為卡卡能康復實係非常非常好彩。

意外後卡卡最初認為佢足球事業就此完結，於是自己列出十個目標希望達到.........
("I live for goals and dreams," he said. "To be in the national team, to play in the World Cup, to win the Champions League. And personal achievements? To get married, to have children." )

由於卡卡生於小康之家，因此比起其他窮困既人卡卡得到較好既治療。
加上卡卡對宗教熱誠，經歷過如此意外自己訂下既目標下有住Do or Die既信念，之後卡卡返回球會聖保羅操練但卡卡自己都知道傷處痛楚但仍積極操練，2001 年 Copa Rio 決賽對保地花高後備入替射入兩球。

Extracts of the articles:

"I was 18 and I was on a water slide," recalled Kaka last week. "I went down head first and hit the bottom of the swimming pool, fracturing the sixth vertebra."

It was such a bizarre accident that nobody realised how serious the damage had been. "I went back to Sao Paulo, trained for two days, but I couldn't stand the pain, so they did more X-rays."

The doctors told Kaka he had been lucky not to be paralysed and that the danger was not over. As he lay in a neck brace, the teenager drew up a list of ambitions for a future he was at risk of losing.

'I live for goals and dreams'

"I live for goals and dreams," he said. "To be in the national team, to play in the World Cup, to win the Champions League. And personal achievements? To get married, to have children."

A little over a year after breaking his neck, Kaka had played for his country, scoring on his first start. In May 2002, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari called him up for Brazil's World Cup squad.




Kaka's determination to succeed comes from the time he thought his career was over when he fractured his spinal chord after falling into a swimming pool.
"When I had that terrible accident, I decided to put down on paper a ten-point list with goals I wanted to achieve," he explained. "I since became a Sao Paulo first-teamer, was part of the national team, and a world champion - all just over 20 months after the accident. So the last thing left to be fulfilled was a transfer to a top European club. And I got that too."
