“Africa doesn’t win the World Cup because the African players play for Europe. This is the difference with us, Brazil: no matter where we are trained, we prefer to defend our country’s jersey. This is why we won 5 world cups. African footballers must be proud to defend their country, no matter where they are trained.

I find African footballers change a lot of nationality, choosing to play for European countries, and that’s what disadvantages Africa to win the world cup. Look at Eto’o, Drogba, Mikel Essien or Sadio Mané: they all left their mark in football while playing for their original pavs. Other Africans should take this inspiration and I am sure Africa will win the World Cup.
