After consoling a tearful Ha-mez Rodriguez at the final whistle and gesturing to the crowd who the star of the World Cup is, the Luiz-Rodriguez love-in continued in a post match interview conducted in Spanish.
With one arm around Rodriguez, Luiz said “It’s not only the ones with the trophies who are the great champions. James has been brilliant, making great plays, scoring great goals, and he can leave here with his head held high, because he’s already a World Champion for everything he’s done at this World Cup.”
Rodriguez gushed back saying “Playes like him, Dani Alves, coming to talk to me, that made me very happy, so personally, thank you”.
Ah, it’s almost enough to make your heart melt.
