Cafu: It's hard for Brazilian right-backs to come out of Alves or me

By the time of the next World Cup, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the current Brazilian right-back Dani Alves will turn 39. Even though Alves are a veteran today, finding a suitable replacement for the São Paulo player remains a problem for Brazil coach Tite.

For the 49-year-old Cavo, he has also played a right-back position in brazil for a long time, which also reflects the difficulty of the national team in the right-back position.

The Brazilian, who helped his team win the 2002 World Cup, also offered his views on the issue. He pointed to two points: changes in training sessions and athletes not being fully engaged.

In December, Cafu told the São Paulo Page newspaper when he attended an event in São Paulo: "At the end of my daily training, I will practice more than 150 balls. Now, fitness coaches don't let athletes do extra training anymore. ”

'It's hard to have a player of the same caliber as Dani Alves, me and Carlos Alberto in this position.

However, Carver did not just blame the fitness coach, he also talked about the attitude of athletes.

"In our day, as long as we put on the jersey, we would devote ourselves to football."

Carver believes that the top players who are now in the country with millions of annual salaries are a more "inclusive" generation.

He said: "I'm not against players earning high salaries, I'm against players whose money doesn't match the time and energy they put in. ”

In 2002, the year Cafu won the World Cup with Brazil, his salary in Rome was about 2.5 million euros a year (about 5.6 million euros at the current exchange rate).

Before returning to Brazil, Alves' last club in Europe was Paris Saint-Germain, while his annual salary at the time was 8.4 million euros (about 7.94 million euros at the current exchange rate).

After joining São Paulo, Alves earned about BRL 1.4 million (about €300,000) a month, and the contract expires in December 2022. If there is a champion or some individual awards, then the bonus will be added to the monthly salary.
