Kaka: Real can improve further

Posted Saturday, December 10, 2011 by ESPN

Ahead of Saturday's highly-anticipated El Clasico clash with Barcelona, Real Madrid midfielder Kaka believes there is more to come from his side.

Real have been in excellent season, becoming to only team to win all six matches in the Champions League group stage this term, and are also top of La Liga, three points ahead of Barca with a game in hand.

Saturday's clash not only gives Real a chance to extend their lead at the top of the table, but send out a stern warning to Barca, who have run the rule over their bitter rivals in recent seasons.

And Kaka has warned Real's opponents that there is plenty of improvement left in the side.
"The team is already very good," Kaka told AS. "However, I think we can still get better and develop further.

"We are on the right track and have to continue our good work."

However, the Brazilian international is adamant Real will not be affected by the magnitude of Saturday's clash, and insists Los Blancos will not be distracted at the possibility of taking a six-point lead at the top of the table.

"We are thinking about the Clasico, but don't really talk about it," Kaka added.

"It will obviously be a special game, but it's not the right time to talk about the game.

"Others always give these games a lot of attention and make it very big. We let the others believe in the hype and don't want to get involved."

Kaka is still trying to force his way back into the Real starting eleven following a wretched run with injuries, and has scored four goals in fifteen appearances so far this season.
