Former Brazil midfielder star Ricardo Kaka said his countrymen do not get carried away by their World Cup exploits and players. Kaka, who was speaking on BeIN Sports, said not every Brazilian feels World Cup fever, saying Ronaldo is just another fat guy walking in the street. “It is strange to say this, but many Brazilians do not support Brazil. It happens sometimes. If you see Ronaldo walking around here, you’ll say ‘wow’, he’s got something different here. In Brazil, it’s just a fat man walking down the street.” “Of course, many Brazilians love Ronaldo. I love Ronaldo, but the way he is respected in Brazil and abroad is different, I see more respect for him outside the country than there.” He also related his point to Neymar Junior, explaining the Paris Saint-Germain forward was not as popular as he once was. “Right now, a lot of people in Brazil are talking about Neymar, but in a negative way. Maybe it’s because of politics, but Brazilians sometimes don’t recognise our own talents.”
