Romario strikes a blow for older generation

The 1970 World Cup forward Tostao, now a widely respected newspaper columnist, said that a combination of circumstances had led to Romario's revival.

"This is a consequence of his eternal talent, of the effort he made to play and the weakness of the rival defences," he wrote.

"Romario, who was the most genial centre-forward of all time, is still playing well in the Brazilian championship because he plays for the modest team of a big club which is fighting to avoid relegation and where the coach and the president do what he needs and desires."

"It's better for Vasco to have Romario with 40 years than a 20-year-old who does nothing apart from run a lot.

"Unfortunately, Romario is no longer in condition to shine in a big team which is challenging for titles."
