Soccer-Former Brazil Captain Cafu Says Neymar Leaves Proud Legacy as Ancelotti Begins Rebuild
- Cafu praised Neymar's international career as "successful and honourable" following the forward's retirement from Brazil's national team after the disappointing World Cup campaign this year.
- Neymar made 130 appearances for Brazil with 80 goals and 58 assists, though his international legacy was marked by a sole 2013 Confederations Cup title and an early World Cup exit against Norway.
- "The end of the cycle with the national team comes for everyone," Cafu told Reuters on Tuesday, noting that Neymar left his mark and made history with Brazil in world football.
- Coach Carlo Ancelotti is now implementing a tactical system for Brazil's reconstruction, using recent friendlies against Japan and Singapore to test new players in the squad.
- With Brazil focusing on the next generation, Cafu remains optimistic about 2030, stating, "I am fully convinced that 2030 will be completely different," with Brazil having a real possibility of winning.
