Even Roberto Carlos and Dani Alves were trading off their reputations by ~33.

True, but Alves played past 40.

Marcelo and Cafu played pretty high level football too for much longer than most Brazilians.

To be fair I do wonder if all the travelling plays a big role, Brazil are like the Harlem globe trotters when it comes to friendlies they fly all over the world, and just to Brazil and back is a long trip even on private planes.

I think this is it. Private air travel is great for cutting down overall travel time, but you're not exactly getting a good night's sleep. And of course you still have the same time zone adjustment issues to deal with whichever way you travel. Wouldn't be at all surprising if on and off poor recovery for ten years shortened an elite athlete's career.

Decent save at the end.

Great save at the end. Unlucky with the Dias OG.

 

[1894southstander]

Great save at the end. Unlucky with the OG. Think we look so much calmer in defence with him there tbh. His sweeping play is excellent

 

[skillman]

Superb save at the end.

Love that he’s basically a hybrid between left centre-back and a goalkeeper this season.

Decent save at the end.

Yeh it was all right I suppose

It won't be long don't worry

 

[M Gaudino]

did absolutely nothing all game until minute 92 when he managed to get his tubby arse off the ground and save a shot that should be saved every day of the week by a professional goalkeeper. for the goal he reacted like a Pro Evo goalie from 1999 and never at any point did west ham apply one second of pressure to be able to use his main USP which is his quick passing.
