Before the match between Croatia and Brazil in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar, the legendary Brazilian Kaka surprised analysts John Terry and Gary Neville.
Speaking on English television beIN Sports, he said that many Brazilians are not with Brazil.
“It’s strange to say, but many Brazilians do not support Brazil. If you see Ronaldo walking around your house, it will be ‘wow’, but the situation is different here. In Brazil, it’s just a fat man walking down the street. “, he said.
The host of the show Richard Keys asked him if Ronaldo is appreciated in Brazil as much as in Europe.
“Of course many Brazilians love Ronaldo, I love Ronaldo, but the way they see him in Brazil and abroad is different. I see more respect for him abroad than at home,” replied Kaka.
