A former Brazilian international, Cafú was one of the guests at the sports weekend of the newspaper Marca. At a round table with other world champions, the former right-back left Neymar with high praise.
“Technically, Neymar is better than Messi and Ronaldo. He needs to assume the responsibility of a leader, a captain, an ace. It has to be someone who is 100% dedicated to football. I’m not better than Neymar, but I was better than the other full-backs of my time, because I dedicated myself to that, to be a professional athlete», he explained.
Cafú also revealed that he had the opportunity to play for Real Madrid in 1992.
«They spoke to me, but São Paulo didn’t release me to play in the Intercontinental Cup. As soon as we won the Libertadores Cup, I knew they wouldn’t let me out», he concluded.
