00:00Football in the 1970s was very connected to the public; people followed it closely and identified strongly with it.
00:05The selection.
00:06Do you think that this has been lost in today's national team selection, in today's football?
00:10Football continues to move crowds, of course, but I do feel a certain disconnect with the Brazilian national team.
00:19But I think a lot, because there started to be a disconnect with the players.
00:23So there are players that we here in Brazil might not even know.
00:27The guy who went to Europe early and suddenly became a star there.
00:32And we had a team where I didn't know anyone, I'd never even heard of Hulk.
00:35I had never heard of Daniel Alves, I had never heard of David Luiz.
00:41So, back then, no, the players, I saw them, I'm a Vasco fan and I saw Zico from Flamengo, Sócrates from Corinthians,
00:48Inter's big stage.
00:49So, I think that made us more connected.
00:54I don't know, I'm taking a chance here, maybe yes, maybe yes.
00:57But when the World Cup comes around, there's no way around it, especially after watching that series, he's going to...
01:02I'm really rooting for them.
