Cafu: I was a winger when I first started playing and I didn't want to play as a full-back

Live bar December 18, Cafu was recently voted the best right-back in French Football, and he revealed at the awards ceremony that he actually played as a winger at the beginning of his career, and he did not want to play full-back at the beginning.

Cafu said: "At the beginning of my career, I was a right winger, and then I played in the No. 8 (midfielder) position, until the end, when I was fixed at full-back. ”

"I always played where the coach needed me to play, I tried a lot, but in the end I became a full-back. I remember in 1991, the main right-back in our team was injured and needed someone to replace him temporarily, and then the manager at the time called me over and told me some tactical and principled issues, and then he let me play. ”

"Since then, my position has been fixed at right-back. I didn't really want to play in that position in the beginning, I complained a lot of times, I asked the coach to let me play as a midfielder or a winger, and I was always saying to him: 'I'm not a full-back, I'm not a defender!' ’”

"He replied to me at the time: 'I value you very much, just like I value everyone in the team, and because of your good performance, I will not be in that position again.'" Eventually I accepted his decision. ”
