June 17th, former Brazilian striker Elber, as Bayern ambassador, recently attended an Adidas event and talked about his life in Brazil.

Expectations for this Club World Cup

"I think it will be very difficult to play in this temperature. European teams are not adapted to this climate, while Latin America and South America may have the advantage. For South American teams, it is a great opportunity to play against teams like Real Madrid, Bayern or Juventus. It is a good opportunity to test the level of South American football by competing with them. Is it equal or there is still a gap? This is very positive and exciting."

Favorites

"After watching Manchester City's performance against Inter Milan in the Champions League final Later, I think they are the biggest hottest. They have a strong lineup and many outstanding players and young talents. Bayern should not be underestimated: the club chairman has put pressure on the players to go all out to compete for the championship. This is the first Club World Cup after the restructuring, and the winner will be recorded in the history of world football. "

Evaluation of Xavi Alonso

"His work results at Leverkusen... Oh my God, it's so outstanding! He led the team to play an extraordinary season and now has the opportunity to coach Real Madrid again. I sincerely wish him success because he is a good one The way he coaches the team and manages the players is a kind of enjoyment, so I send my best wishes. "

Golden Globe Award belongs to

"We must not ignore Rafinia, he spent an excellent season in Barcelona. And Yamal, who is young but shows a mature style of a 35-year-old veteran. Dembele's achievements in Paris cannot be ignored. This year's Golden Globe Competition will be very exciting." "

Retirement Life

" When I retired, I thought I could live a peaceful life, take care of the Bulls and appreciate the horses in Brazil ...But everything has changed. Now as an ambassador of Bayern, he is running around the world, attending Bundesliga and Champions League, and keeping in touch with the players. But when I am in Brazil, I will be immersed in horseback life, ranch and cattle, which is my favorite time. "

Lifestyle

"Yes, I always love this kind of life. That's where I recharge and restore energy. When I worked for Bayern, I slept in Miami today and woke up in Munich tomorrow. Only when I returned to Brazil can I enjoy family time and accompany my children... all of this."
