"It’s a different generation now. For many, many years Brazil produced top, top players. But football has changed a lot. There is so much money in the sport and technology available to other countries; if a player has one good season or even one good game then massive clubs will look to sign them immediately."
"Back in 2002, I had to win the Brazilian league and win the World Cup before even being considered for a big move to a European club. I don’t want to say that these players won't get to the level of Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Ronaldo, but they have had less time to grow in Brazil and hone their craft."
