In a relaxed chat, the two protagonists of the 2002 World Cup talked about various topics related to Qatar 2022.
The world champions praised Vini Jr. and pointed out the Real Madrid ace as one of the likely protagonists to share responsibility with Neymar in Brazilian national team games.
"I think (I like) everyone, everyone. But Vinícius Júnior, because of the way he's playing, because of his personality playing for Real Madrid, I think he's a boy who found himself and learned to score goals, which is important. A player who doesn't score a goal has a lot of difficulty and he, in the training he's doing, is giving that return to Real Madrid. Playing well and scoring goals," Rivaldo told Betfair.
Ronaldo agreed and also added another highlight of the Spanish team, in addition to talking about Brazilian star Neymar: "I live in Madrid, I follow very closely the evolution of Vinícius. But the National Team is very well served, Vinícius, Rodrygo, who has also stood out a lot at Real Madrid. Neymar, who is our great hope, we cannot fail to count on him and hope that he arrives in great shape at the World Cup."
They recalled what the work environment was like in the 2002 conquest and what it takes for a squad to have a winning campaign; and pointed to Brazil, France and Spain as favorite teams to win the 2022 World Cup title.
The next excerpts of the interview will be shown within ‘Dia de Jogo Betfair’ show, which is broadcast on Sundays from 3 pm on the Betfair Brazil YouTube channel.
