As reported by Scarlett Audrey, Cafu recently gave his view on Garnacho who completed his full debut for the national team a few days ago. The 2002 World Cup winner shockingly claimed that Garnacho wouldn’t be on the national team for a long time. Cafu said, “In terms of Garnacho I do not think he will stay long with the Argentina national team if he does not change his style of doing things in the national team.”
The former Brazilian full-back further said that Garnacho’s obsession with Ronaldo has led him to imitate the Portuguese star’s playing style on the pitch. Cafu also said that not only Garnacho’s runs or shooting style is copied from Ronaldo, but the Argentine’s reactions on the pitch also heavily resemble the Al-Nassr star. Lastly, Cafu advised Garnacho that he should focus on being himself because not everyone can be like Ronaldo.
