Goat Arena Perspective
Cafu is widely regarded as one of the greatest right-backs in football history. The Brazilian captain combined extraordinary stamina, attacking movement and defensive discipline, becoming the only player to appear in three consecutive FIFA World Cup finals.
Cafu was an attacking full-back who constantly supported the right wing with overlapping runs, pace and intelligent positioning. His stamina allowed him to contribute in both attacking and defensive transitions throughout the match.
At Goat Arena, Cafu represents the evolution of the modern attacking full-back. His consistency at São Paulo, Roma, AC Milan and Brazil demonstrated how a defender could influence an entire attacking structure.
Cafu is the only player to have appeared in three consecutive FIFA World Cup finals: 1994, 1998 and 2002.
