Cafu, from the city of São Paulo, has
an overcoming story from the moment he
imagined to be a soccer player, since he was
refused in the sieves of São Paulo Futebol
Clube in eight opportunities. Approved in the
ninth attempt, he took part in one of the best
teams in the history of the club and world
soccer, achieving several state, national and international titles.
He played at Palmeiras for two years and made history at Roma (from 1997 to
2003) and at Milan (from 2003 to 2008). At the same time, the right back went down in
the history of the Brazilian Soccer Team, being so far the only athlete to perform in three
consecutive World Cup finals, with titles conquest in the 1994 and 2002 World Cups. In
the latter, he consecrated himself twice world champion as the captain of the team. He
still played in the World Cup in Germany in 2006. He is the player that has worn the most
Brazilian jerseys in 148 matches.
His favorite destinations for holidays are beaches. In the capital, the former captain
of the Brazilian soccer team suggests Ibirapuera Park in the South zone.
