Valencia striker Edinson Cavani: Modern football attitudes not for me

Valencia striker Edinson Cavani admits the modern attitudes that exist in football aren't for him.

Cavani left Manchester United for Valencia last summer.

He told the Guardian: “We have maintained that essence. Look at modern football, which is losing that essence. Maybe I come from that old school. Maybe I don't quite fit in with modern football, in terms of attitudes, what it means for the players.

"That doesn't mean you can't say how you feel, right? I see it constantly: modernism, social networks, how the world is, how technology has advanced, what has gotten into football. That changes minds.

"Before, everyone on a team had the same goal. These days, in certain teams for various reasons (fame, what people and the press make the players feel), that is not always the case."
