Tigers He is 90 minutes away from making history in the Club World Cup, but first he must show that his power goes beyond Liga MX and that it is enough to beat the Palm Trees, brand new champion of Conmebol.
Although the safest thing is that Bayern Munich will wait in the Final for the winner of this hectic Semifinal, one of the greatest legends of the Brazilian National Team and world football, Cafu, assured that both felines and verdão have plenty of elements to snatch the world title from the Bavarians.
“The best team in the world without a doubt, but Tigres and Palmeiras have the conditions to beat them, if they play as they have done so far and are very focused,” said Cafu in a talk with RECORD.
And it is that for Cafu there are no impossibilities, because he won his first Club World Cup in 1992 defeating a giant like Barcelona as a São Paulo player, and a year later he did the same but this time beating Milan.
That is why for the also World Champion at national level, Tigres and Palmeiras have, in addition to their game, a historical record to cling to in order to overthrow the German giant.
“For me it was wonderful, I won with a team of Conmebol to Barcelona and Milan and you enjoy it a lot, but also winning with a European team is special, and more so because it was Boca Juniors in 2007 ”, he mentioned
On the other hand, although his heart is with the paulistas, Cafu did not hide his desire to witness the clash between the monarchs of Concacaf and Conmebol, whom he sees with similar styles and therefore guarantees a real match.
“If the two are not afraid to play, it will certainly be a great game, Palmeiras spreads a lot on the wings, they are fast and Tigers play with its skilled players who face you and are very fast. It will surely be a very good game, “he added.
“It is a difficult game, it will not be easy at all, they are two traditional clubs from their country and they are teams that have the same pattern of play, a lot of strength, attack, outstanding players; obviously I hope that Palmeiras wins, but I know that he has an opponent who is not going to sell the game easily, “he said.
And is that if there is something that impresses the former Brazilian team, it is the possession of the ball by the Monterrey team, something that can complicate the Libertadores champion.
“A daring team, physically strong and that touches the ball a lot to touch the door, and they are also very strong on set pieces,” he concluded
