Many people still have a very fresh memory of the joy that paralyzed the country in the celebration of Brazil’s fifth World Cup in 2002. But it's been 20 years since the group of football geniuses, led by Ronaldo and Rivaldo, won the mighty Germany in the final by 2x0. To this day, the image of the two stars on the pitch still moves Brazilian fans. And since 2002, the two have not met for an interview.
Proving that every result is possible for Betfair, the bookmaker brought together the two Brazilian legends, both elected best in the world, to record an interview for ‘Dia de Jogo Betfair’. Tiago Leifert, who acts as creator and artistic producer of the show aired on Sundays on YouTube, was the one who conducted the interview. Only Betfair has achieved such a feat in 20 years. The result can be seen by fans over the next few weeks.
“When we confirmed the debut of ‘Dia de Jogo Betfair’ in the presence of Ronaldo, we understood that there was a unique opportunity to also invite our ambassador Rivaldo to make history in a joint interview. The two were protagonists in winning the 2002 title and have a special place in the hearts of Brazilians. This kind of unique experience is what Betfair can offer football fans: reliving an emotion and fueling the possibilities of celebrating that feeling again in the near future because for Betfair, every outcome is possible,” said Kimberley Daly, Marketing Director of Betfair.
Betfair gave a taste of what was to come by sharing on social networks the moment of the reunion of the two idols backstage during the recording of the interview. Rivaldo and Ronaldo 'Fenômeno' spoke with Tiago Leifert about their expectations for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and believe that there are reasons for fans to have faith in the possibility of the Brazilian team bringing home the sixth championship.
They analyzed the opponents of the first phase, the moment of other favorite teams, the possible stars, and of course, the quality of the players that must defend the canary team in the Cup.
“Interviewing the two protagonists of that achievement 20 years later is every journalist's dream. I also took this opportunity to talk about the future and find out what they think about the current national team and the upcoming World Cup,” said Tiago Leifert.
The first part of the interview will air this Sunday, May 22nd, on ‘Dia de Jogo Betfair’. The attraction, which brings valuable information to sports fans about betting, is shown from 3 pm on the Betfair Brasil channel and on channel 3 in the YouTube Area, on Ronaldo TV's Twitch and also follows live one of the main games of the Brasileirão 2022 round.
