Brazilian legend Cafu [Twitter]Brazil World Cup-winning captain Cafu said Saturday that Brazil has the quality and depth of talent to win this year's FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The former Roma and AC Milan right-back said the five-time World Cup champions would not depend so heavily on talismanic forward Neymar as they did in previous major tournaments. "I'm very excited and confident that the Brazil team will achieve great results at this World Cup," Cafu told reporters during an event in Porto Alegre to promote his new biography. But Cafu, who filled the role with distinction at four World Cups, said Brazil had many options, including 39-year-old Pumas UNAM player Dani Alves. "I don't see a problem on the right side," said Cafu, who led Brazil to World Cup glory in Japan and South Korea in 2002.
