claims that politics has divided Brazilian society and many people do not support the national team and even Ronaldo is not respected in Brazil like the way he is abroad.

"Ronaldo Nazario in Brazil is just a fat man walking down the street,"

Kaka told to BeIN Sport.

"It's strange to say this, but many Brazilians don't support Brazil. It happens sometimes. If you see Ronaldo walking around here, you will say 'wow', he has something different here. In Brazil, he's just a fat guy walking down the street.

Many Brazilian players like Neymar supported former President Jair Bolsonaro and Kaka said that the PSG star is not popular in his home country.

"At the moment, a lot of people in Brazil are talking about Neymar, but in a negative way,"

Kaka continued.
