his fame and over-use of his image led to his downfall, his love for the game died sort of, he hit superstardom, however Barca drained him, he wanted too much fame and his name was used EVERYWHERE! and so his career began to go down the tolilet, there was "an argument" with Rijkaard, and so he lost interest in the game, his love for playing died. so he tried to revive his career at Milan, and despite flashes of his former self, he never forced himself in the team, though some people (including myself) blame Ancelotti's 4-3-2-1 system, where he played Seedorf and Kaka behind Pato, putting Dinho on the bench, now, I think he should stay at Milan for one more year, under leonardo, to see what formation he uses, or even just till January as time is short for him now, but i think he could do well somewhere else,Ancelotti didn't USE him, despite many glimpses of his excellent former self he wasn't given a chance, and he needs consitency,he still has it, but needs someone, somewhere, to bring it out of him again. He is more talented than messi and ronaldo IMO, naturally anyway, it's just a shame, he's not as good as he was now, but he's still got 2 or so more seasons of POTENTIAL brilliance in him.
