New Delhi: Kaka believes that Real Madrid paid huge amounts to sign both he and Cristiano Ronaldo because they were worth it and believes that he will live up to the price tag.
Los Merengues spent a reported €67million to prise the Brazilian away from AC Milan having already agreed a deal worth around €94million to sign the Manchester United star.
While many eyebrows have been raised about the amount spent by Madrid, Kaka thinks that it will be seen as a wise investment because he has earned that fee by being so good.
"(The reason) that Real Madrid have decided to pay so much money for us is because we are worth it, isn't it? Because we've shown it with our football over the last few years," he is quoted as saying by Marca.
"We are in a sport which pays these kinds of figures and within this sphere it could be that we are worth this investment.
"In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the most expensive player, he has shown that he's number one and that he's worth this money.
The price tag will not cause him any sleepless nights either as he thinks that he will play well and fans and pundits will forget about it.
"To tell the truth, I'm very happy to know Real Madrid paid all this money to sign me," he continued.
"It's not a form of pressure for me, but a responsibility. But in no way is it going to create a negative effect - just the opposite.
"I think it's something that is going to motivate me even more."
