Cafu

“Ronaldinho is a phenomenon, and so is Cafu! I am twice World champion and led Brazil to a World Cup triumph in 2002.”

“Neymar is the best Brazilian out there. He is on another level than the other Brazilians.”

“Football has given me a lot of great opportunities, so now I am trying to put that to good use. I have a foundation in Brazil that supports 750 children, and am hoping to do something similar in the Middle East with a soccer academy.”

“I think Neymar has everything to be the best player on the planet.”

“I was born in 1970. In 2002, I became a world champion. I was captain. I had the honor of receiving the World Cup Trophy from no less than whom? Pele! Man! If I say any more I'll cry. It's really emotional!”

“Even today, despite everything I've achieved, I still get criticized. I don't know why, I've never done anybody any harm.”

“I wanted to be the best footballer I could be and also in the best shape possible.”

“Each player becomes the best in the world in their own time.”

“I sincerely believe that sport, particularly in the hands of young people, has the power to change the world.”

“I have a trophy room in my home and at the center is the replica of the World Cup.”

“Without a doubt, winning the World Cup is the highest prize in football. It's the peak - the maximum that you can reach.”

“I always think if you are not a hard worker, you will get nowhere in English football.”

“I'm the only player in history to have played in three consecutive World Cup finals.”

“Right backs now should be the highest paid players in every team! Strikers just have to score. Midfielders, they pass. Goalkeepers make saves. Full backs have to mark, cover centre backs and midfield, get forward and cross, take shots and provide the link to strikers.”

“With Neymar on the pitch, whether he wants it or not, eight opponents will stay connected to him.”

“Ozil is fantastic. One of the best in the world. Not only a great player but a great human being.”

“Firmino is a great player. He can play either side and has powerful contact with the ball in any position.”

“I had a great time at Roma, but Milan have made me feel like a young boy again. When I signed for them I was as excited as I was when I signed my first ever contract.”

“Nobody can ever truly replace Cristiano Ronaldo, because he was unique, a one-off, who created an unbelievably legacy of success at the club. But what I see in Vinicius is special too, I believe he is the best candidate in football to replace Cristiano and to conquer the world with Madrid.”

“The athlete of the century, he scored more than 1,000 goals, and won the World Cup three times. He was complete. I don't need to say anything more. Pele is Pele. No one can beat him.”
