Brazil had a tremendous generation of top players commanded by Ronaldo Nazario that help them to win very important titles and remembering their golden times with Pele. Some stars that shone at Europe, as Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Dida and more, played together at one of the most important national teams in the whole world.

Despite the fortune that they made in those times, there are some now facing economic issues. One of those cases is the one of Marcos Evangelista de Moraes, unknown by his complete name but popularly known as Cafú. The ex-right defender is now going through several problems after making some very bad businesses.

Cafú is 50 years old and the Brazilian press has reported that he was in trouble with the local justice of his country, after having a debt of more than $6 million. It is also said that some of the properties that he had and were bought during his golden times as a soccer player, were confiscated.

Cafú started his professional career at Sao Paulo and played there until 1995, when he had the big chance to move to Europe. He then passed to Real Zaragoza, AS Roma, AC Milan and Garfoth Town. At his country he also played for Juventude and Palmeiras. Despite what it may be though, he only moved $15 million in transfers and finally retired on March 2009.
