AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti hailed midfielder Kaka as the "best player in the world" after the Brazilian struck a treble in the UEFA Champions League match against Anderlecht on Wednesday. "He's exceptional. He can do absolutely anything," Ancelotti said of Kaka after the game. "For me, he's the best player in the world at the moment. I don't think anyone could complain if he won the Golden Ball.” The Brazilian international opened the score line early in the first-half from the spot and doubled the lead before the break. Kaka fired home in the second period to widen the gap and register his second hat-trick ever since joining the Milan side.
Ancelotti "Ricky has always scored goals, he's an excellent finisher. But he was not always so good at setting up his team mates," Ancelotti said. "Now, however, he has improved even that aspect of his game.” The Milan manager was so impressed that he took his praise up a notch. "There are lots of great players in circulation, but nobody is worth as much as him," he said. "Nobody has more determination or is capable of making such a difference in a match. He is better than Ronaldinho."
