DESPITE his clean-cut image as a devout Christian and family man, it is Kaka's disciplinary record that is turning heads. Another yellow card in Brazil's win over Chile on Monday added to his red card against Ivory Coast in the group stage.
Kaka said the yellow card he received after half an hour against Chile was "a normal foul". He was "worried" that further bookings could rule him out of matches in the latter stages of the tournament, although all players have their records wiped clean after the quarterfinals.
"It was a normal foul and the first foul I did in the match," the Brazilian playmaker said. "I don't know why the referees are taking an interest in me.
"I was a bit worried about getting another yellow card," he said. "Another expulsion would put me out of another game."
Dunga said he would talk to Kaka about the situation but insisted referees were targeting the wrong players.
"Yes, it is a problem. I don't want Kaka to be left suspended," he said. "The technical players are punished and those who commit fouls always aren't. This already started happening in the first round and it's lamentable."
