Brazil's legendary right back Cafu praises Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Anrold

No kid wants to grow up and be a Gary Neville.

Even from the other side of the world in sunny Sao Paulo, Cafu is laughing at Jamie Carragher's infamous assertion.

The Brazil legend understands the sentiment, but protests: 'No, no, Gary Neville was a fantastic full back. He would genuinely get to the by-line. He played without fear. He was a leader.'

What about Carragher?

'He was very good, too.' Less effusive, but polite all the same.

Carragher made his claim about young players not aspiring to be right-backs in 2013.
