AC Milan star Kaka has revealed his admiration for the style of football Arsenal play ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with the Gunners.
The reigning World and European Player of the Year believes Arsene Wenger's side are the best British exponents of playing 'beautiful' football like his Brazilian counterparts.
"Arsenal play football the way we like to see it in Brazil," he said.
"They play with style, changing position, moving the ball quickly. If you say Arsenal, that's what we think of. It is different to the normal English style.
"Man United are similar but are very English, direct and more tactical with the defence closing down quickly.
"This tie against Arsenal will be more open and interesting than one against Liverpool or Chelsea. This is a game we can enjoy. It can be beautiful."
Meanwhile, Kaka has warned Arsenal's youthful squad not to under-estimate the challenge posed by a veteran Milan line-up.
"People have called this tie against Arsenal a match between an ageing team and a new, young side," he continued, with Milan boasting the likes of Paolo Maldini, Clarence Seedorf, Cafu, Dida and Filippo Inzaghi among their over-30 ranks.
"It's a fair comparison because the average age in the Milan first team is 32 but that does not mean we will struggle. Experience counts for everything at this stage.
"When I came here four years ago, the likes of Maldini and Seedorf had already won every title they could win. But they were hungry to keep winning.
"We have won them all again in the past few years. To have that level of experience in a tie like this is so important."

Kaka should come to arsenal if he likes it so much, but Wenger being the stingy man he is probably wouldnt want to spend the $$$$$$
lol, yeah ^^^^^^^^^^^^ it would be cool if kaka came but where would he fit into the team?
For KAKA to get into the team it would mean we would play without a defensive midfielder (meaning the flamster would have to sit out) or him playing or it would mean arsenal playing 4-5-1 all the time with Kaka as the attacking midfielder like Hleb does sometimes
what u talking about, i ac milan fan and i no that Kaka will never leave us. (sorry 4 bad english)
I'm an Arsenal fan.
If we got a new central midfield who was better then both fab and flam (e.g. kaka), if i had to choose one to drop it would have to be cesc. He just flopped it v manU and for the passed 15 or so games he has just been average for Arsenal. When i saw Flamster come on in the 2nd half, we at least started to get the ball into manU half.
