The event was prestigious and brought together a large number of prominent football players from South America. The American Football Federation (CONMEBOL) and the local organizing committee were honored in the list of ornaments and guests. He had only to warn the former captain of the Seleção, Cafu, that he was not the center of attention of the ceremonial on the night of Thursday 25th. at the City of Arts, Barra da Tijuca, west of Rio.
Cafu was on the scene to receive the bullets fired and read the names of the countries and their respective groups in the competition.

He could have done it more discreetly. Or less inconvenience. The victim of his first goof was Marta, in charge of the polka dot pot bearing the names of the heads of the national team: Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. As soon as the best player in the world made his choice, Cafu scored his first goal against.
"Do not forget, Marta, what I told you about at a recent meeting in Zurich, not Zurich, London, do you remember?"
With an expression of discomfort, she transfigured herself and seemed to be afraid of the question. On the insistence of Cafu, Marta replied in a low voice: "They are behind the scenes, Cafu." No one in the audience understood anything.
The former team of Seleção, world champion in 2002, is interested in the former star Zico, also occupying the stage to participate in the draw. He walked twice with Quintino's chicken. "Zico, what does it mean to be an idol in Japan, where you conceived football, without being recognized in your own country?"
Educated, Zico was not in agreement. "I am very grateful to the Brazilian fans."

Not satisfied, Cafu finally tried to hit one, still without success. "And when will you invite me to participate in the Star Game – a charity event that Zico has been organizing for several years in Maracanã?" Once again, Zico left the colleague puzzled. "Cafu, I'm calling every year – it's been like this for 11 years and nothing."
With each release, Cafu seemed more and more excited and laughed loudly, much to the chagrin of many who watched everything. Shortly before the end of the draw, he caused Zé Roberto, another player graduating to shoot the balls, because of the hairstyle of the former player. "I'm going to introduce you to my hairdresser." Zé Roberto ignored the comment.
Curious, a few minutes ago, the official presenters of the event, Tadeu Schmidt and Fernanda Gentil, had already invited the guests to questions of protocol. But Cafu, without the ability of the couple, tried to do the same thing and did not realize that it ended up being the fiasco of the night.
