The admirer, Cristiane Sampaio from Rio, was given the chance to meet her football hero after watching the Brazil team's training session here on Wednesday ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Paraguay on Sunday.

And the 20-year-old made sure she made the most of her time with the talented and handsome midfielder by asking him to marry her.

However Kaka was forced to reply: "I can't, I'm already engaged."

The offer of an autographed Brazil training shirt did not seem to appease Sampaio, who loves the player so much she has a tattoo of him.

"I'm Kaka's angel. I became an evangelist because of him," complained Sampaio.

Kaka could only reply: "It was a funny meeting -- she doesn't even know me and she wants to marry me."
