Brazil Legend Cafu Sings the Praises of Liverpool's Jon Flanagan...Again

Sean FayOct 7, 2015

Cafu is one of the greatest right-backs who has ever played the game.

Liverpool's Jon Flanagan has not got there yet, but his run in the team that almost won the Premier League title in 2013/14 earned him the nickname The Red Cafu among Liverpool fans. 

It also won him the praise of Cafu himself, who predicted big things for Flanagan

Dreadful luck with injuries has stalled Flanagan's progress, but it hasn't stopped Cafu from once again talking about his admiration for his Merseyside counterpart. 

He told FourFourTwo, per the Liverpool website

"

I paid him a visit not long ago.

We had lunch and took some pictures together. He is very fit and has everything required to be one of the best full-backs in the world.
