Premier League - Kaka, Robinho come to Arsenal

Eurosport - Thu, 13 Nov 16:22:00 2008

Arsenal's Emirates Stadium will host Brazil's international friendly against World Cup-winners Italy on February 10.

2007 Brazil Kaka Robinho Ronaldinho - 0

It will be the fourth time Brazil will play at Arsenal since September 2006, following games against Argentina, Portugal and Sweden.

National coach Dunga has adopted London as a second home for friendlies, as most of his squad is based in Europe and matches in England ease the players' travelling burden.

It will allow fans to see stars such as Kaka (pictured left), Robinho (middle), Ronaldinho (right), Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso and Fabio Cannavaro, along with former Gunner Gilberto Silva.

Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood said: "Brazil and Italy both have proud and very successful football histories and we are looking forward to welcoming the teams and many Brazilian and Italian supporters to Emirates Stadium in February.

"Some of the world's finest footballers will be on display and we are all very excited at what is sure to be a thrilling contest."

    Kaka has said that Arsenal play the style of football­ that he would wnt to play should he ever come to­ England so more fool you whoever you are. Remember, we­ don't know if world stars would come to Arsenal,­ because Arsene never bids for them
