Brazil 1970

The Brazilian National Team in 1970, is a unique team, which came to the sound of goals and play in the hearts of football fans . E 'in all probability the only team to have ever played with five "number 10" at the same time: Gerson, Pele, Rivelino; tostão; Jairzinho. In a distinctly defensive football (ball long and pedal), the CT Zagallo Brazilian former world champion's left wing 58, is incredible how the coexistence of these five players on the field, giving the show and emotions.

Fantasia, fantasy, fantasy.

See Brazil play is a spectacle of good Brazilian players all love to hold the ball at his feet, make a play, ordendo dense webs of horizontal passages interrupted by sudden vertical solutions. The continuous movement of the various rhythmic and midfielder confuses defenses more grim, perilous, even the backs (especially Carlos Alberto Torres, captain), participate in continuous overlaps with the offensive play of the team, making him a goal machine . In the qualification round the world, played between '68 and '70, Brazil is facing, in races and back, three teams:

- Paraguay

- Colombia

- ; Venezuela

The only real danger comes from Paraguay , tough team in the European mentality and tactics. Roundtrip Brazil scored four goals for Paraguay, without being exposed to anyone. The weakest of Colombia and Venezuela are buried goal: Colombia to eight (two legs) and even 11 to Venezuela. Brazil wins then the first in the group with six wins in six matches, with twenty-three goals made and only two suffered . The only game where the team formed by Zagallo shows some weakness is the one against Paraguay was finished only 1-0, but where the files are full of green and gold of supporting actors (Joel, Paulo Cesar, etc.).. After the disappointing World Cup '66 Brazil is thus presented to the Mexican world eager as ever in search of the third World Cup title in their history.

Mexico and Clouds - WORLD -

The Pool of Brazil is certainly not the easiest. The most insidious opponents are the reigning champions England, with Romania and Czechoslovakia Loose Cannons. More generally, other claimants to the title are the usual World Germany, runner-up to the World 66, and Italy, after the disastrous increase in global English.

Brazil - England 1-0 (59 'Jairzinho)

Carlos Alberto and Bobby Moore.

The second match against defending champions England, it is more difficult. The spine is made up of the English champions such as Gordon Banks, Bobby Moore , Bobby Charlton, Alan Ball and the striker Geoff Hurst. The team fielded by Alf Ramsey, accomplice excellent athletic condition and pressing a suffocating cause problems for most technical Brazilian, who However, in the early minutes of play are likely to go ahead. England plays a rather defensive football but attentive, and came close a couple of times with the usual goal Hurst, accomplices of the central Brazilian defensive lapses. The second half opened with the green-gold attack: we first prove Rivelino, then tostão with a shot from close range, but the door seems haunted Banks defense expert. Retail '59 Jairzinho good action is rewarded with a solitary goal: Brazil has the advantage. I earnestly seek Verdeoro doubling, but a careful defense of English for the first time puts difficulties in the Brazilian strikers. The game will end 1-0 for Brazil.

Brazil - Romania 3-2 ( 19 '- 67' Pelé, 22 'Jairzinho / 34 'Dumitrache, 84' Dembrovschi )

The gap technical between the two teams is great, and after 20 minutes, Brazil is already leading by two goals: first go in goal Pelé, Jairzinho and again, beautifully primed by his teammate. It should be noted that among the ranks Romanian Mircea Lucescu a certain .

In the following minutes of the game for the first time Brazil shows its limits: too much affectation of the Brazilian players with the ball at his feet opens the way for the Romanian Dumitrache, which shortens the distance . In the second half Brazil riallunga again, again with a goal by Pele, and then see each other again recovered, again for a blunder of the defenders. The game will end 3-2.

The first team to face Brazil in the knockout stages is a strong Peru.

The shining star of Peru is the strongest Teofilo Cubillas , after Peruvian player considered stronger than ever. It 's a fast player with a great outside shot and deadly on free kicks. The Peruvian defense is led by strong Chumpitaz Hector, defender of the considerable physical and tactical means. The diamond is Hugo Sotil, technique and dribbling around player, who would soon become a true idol of the fans Blaugrana.

The extraordinary action in Cubillas

The game is beautiful and spectacular. Brazil goes to 11 now with a great goal by Roberto Rivelino, and shortly after doubles with tostão. The Peru team, however, is obstinate and stubborn and not give up. 28 to get the equalizer after good work by Gallardo. In defense Chumpitaz almost doubles, marking Pelé is that tostão. The excessive power is too technical for this Brazilian Peru: tostão acronym made it 3-1 shortly after the second time, and almost immediately after the goal of his hat-trick. The Peru attacked head on, a Cubillas complicit in extraordinary form. And it is the Peruvian champions to sign an unexpected goal at 70 '. The result is now 3-2: match reopened. Brazil once again proves to be a team with a winning mentality, and soon finds the set 4-2, Jairzinho than usual.

the semi-finals Brazil meets another South American team: Uruguay. Among their ranks the Uruguayans may field a team of highly respected: in porta c’è il fortissimo Mazurkiewicz , e il duo d’attacco è formato da giocatori rapidi e tecnici come Luis Cubilla e Pedro Rocha. Il centravanti è il possente Morales. Sud-Americana nel nome ma Europea nel gioco, la squadra Uruguaiana fa dell’aggressività, della grinta (la famosa “ garra ”), e della tattica il punto di forza. La partita è vibrante e tesa: i primi 20 minuti sono appannaggio dell’Uruguay, che pressa a tutto campo raddoppiando su ogni portatore di palla. Il vantaggio è di Luis Cubilla, al ’19.

Brazil - Italy 4-1 (18 'Pelé, 66' Gerson, Jairzinho '71, '86 Carlos Alberto / 37 'Boninsegna)

The impressive detachment of Pele.

The final will be played against Italy proved to be a famous 4-3 to Germany. The athletes, in partial defense, arriving tired and exhausted by their semi-final played against the Germans. In a packed Azteca Stadium (107,000 available) will challenge the defensive mentality (all defensive and starts) against the Italian imagination and technical Brazil. Italian stand out among the ranks of two "blocks": the one of the great Inter and that of Cagliari just won the championship. Guarding the door is Albert, in front of him, a defense to 4, there are Cera, Rosato, Facchetti and Burgnich. The two central midfield are " top er de wholesalers, and Mario Bertini, two fundamentally interditori, although equipped with good technical qualities. The two midfielders were offensive and Sandro Mazzola Angelo Domenghini, behind the pair of attack Riva / Boninsegna.

Brazilians celebrate the victory.

Italy started well, showing great consistency between departments and a careful and aggressive defense. Everything changes, however, in the 18th minute. Dall'out a sudden left hand cross to the center of the blue: the sullen Burgnich jump, but was overtaken by a detachment of Pele imperious remains almost suspended in air, bagging. Brazil is leading. Instead of exploiting the momentum Brazil began to dribble in midfield for an error of Clodoaldo, pressed by Boninsegna, puts him in terms of scoring. E '1-1. The second time, after a quick action from the outside, Gerson is the angle low and winning with a blow to the left shows the advantage in Brazil. Brazilian players have to square the circle: Italy, tired and discouraged, Spring. The 3-1 comes a little later: cross from the left, Sutomore Pele's header for the onrushing Jairzinho. E '3-1.

Tactics

As stated previously, the Brazil adopts a tactic unscrupulously and heavily unbalanced offensive forward. The line of defense before Felix, strictly in the area, consists of two stations almost always planted in front of the goalkeeper, a defender of movement and travel as Carlos Alberto Torres and, on the other end, and blocked by a more careful (Everaldo ).

The first midfielder in front of the defense in a position of "flying " Clodoaldo which is atypical, at ball possession goes even further by using its own technicians. When non-possession but acts almost from the central median in front of two lenses. Also on the center, later, Gérson is located, the playmaker of the team. Although not as mobile companion department Clodoaldo Gerson also often placed in front of defense, serving as director back ( deep-lying playmaker ).

The offensive front is formed by four men in this manner: on the left, wide, there Rivelino, which often acts between the lines and also moves diagonally to the limit of the opponent. In the role of midfielder left, as the number 10 on the back door, there's Pele. In the field, however, the king of football acts mainly in the role of playmaker offensivo/playmaker dietro ai due attaccanti. Come centravanti di manovra c’è Tostão, che ama giocare come attaccante di raccordo e, come giocatore di sacrificio, indietreggia spesso fino a centrocampo sfruttando le proprie doti di assist-man. Infine sull’out destro c’è la vera arma in più del brasile, il brasiliano Jairzinho. Probabilmente il meno dotato tecnicamente tra i compagni di reparto, ama giocare largo sulla destra per poi accentrarsi o sfruttare i corridoio aperti dai compagni di squadra.

Nella fase di possesso palla il Brasile non ha punti deboli: può sfruttare le fasce, in particolare la destra (Carlos Alberto Torres / Jairzinho), o anche the center, taking advantage of the dramatic spine of the team formed by Clodoaldo-gerson-pele-tostão. The defense played quite high, almost on the halfway line, the units are very compact and communicate with each other. The movement without the ball is almost constant, ensuring continuous free space for one or the other attacker. The game is mainly based on phrases or sudden strong vertical solutions, and eleven in the field are very willing "large" in order to extend opposing defenses.

Protagonists

Félix ( goalkeeper ) # 1 - 176 x 72 kg - right - mediocre goalie, the weakness of the team. Discrete goal, reflected in the media and good placement in goal. Of course Brazil has had a much better goalkeeper.

Carlos Alberto Torres ( right back ) # 4-180 x 77 kg – destro. Capitano della squadra nonché straordinario difensore. Pur Brasiliano nell’animo è un’ottima difensore, in grado di giocare sia come terzino destro che come stopper; legge benissimo l’azione sia dal punto di vista difensivo che offensivo. Tecnicamente è dotato di un tiro potente e preciso (vedi il quarto goal nella finale contro l’Italia), di un passaggio e di un cross preciso. 

Wilson Square (defender central ) # 3 - 178 x 74 kg - right - is paired with the giant Brito on defense. In contrast to the rude fellow department Piazza is a defender of medium size, with good speed and good in marking. Frequent barbs over the defending tournament.

Hércules Brito (defender center / median ) # 2 - 188 x 81 kg - Right - The Hercules name is not accidental: the mighty middle recycled by the coach Zagallo central defender, is played by the disruptive physical, strong, tough, rough, as skilled as head of slow and clumsy albatross. Along with fellow Piazza is the weak link in the green and gold team.

Everaldo ( terzino sinister ) # 16 - 171 x 68 kg-Mancino. Terzino sinister fairly quickly and fairly good at marking. A little 'affected with the ball between his feet and certainly not simple character (just after the World Cup punched an opponent after a bad foul.)

Clodoaldo ( mediano di spinta ) #5 – 174 x 75 kg – destro. Centrocampista moderno, in grado di interpretare la fase difensiva ed offensiva con egual abilità. In questo Brasile è lui il “ volante ” davanti alla difesa: dispone di un’ottima tecnica palla al piede; è rapido, agile ed ha una buona visione di gioco.

Gérson ( director ) # 8 - 170 x 69 kg - Mancino. Considered the successor to the great Didi, he is the director of the team, the brain e il metronomo del centrocampo, zona nevralgica della manovra. Sono suoi i lanci millimetrici per le punte e le ali, ed ha il difficile compito di organizzare un centrocampo e un fronte offensivo infarcito di mezzepunte e attaccanti. E’ uno dei migliori “passatori” di sempre.

Roberto Rivelino ( guard / left wing ) # 11-173 x 73 kg - Mancino - "Atomic The Potato" is one of the most talented players ever green and gold. Born as a central midfielder, was deployed on the left to allow the insertion of Pelé and tostão forward. Roberto Rivelino, as well as for his bushy mustache, is famous for his extraordinary left foot, from which true-to-air missiles as well as steps and cross with the tachometer. It 'also famous for "flip-flap " extraordinary pretend attributed to him. In field work as "false wing left, being still able to multimillion across the offensive front. Is also an important outlet for operation.

Jairzinho ( right winger / striker ) # 7 - 173 x 76 kg - Right. Pure striker in the head and soul in field work as "bogus" right wing. A long way and, taking advantage unstoppable down the foot balls, triangles and fast, you run into the penalty area. It 's a quick player, incredibly explosive, muscle-toned, strong, strong head and foot. It will be top scorer in the national and vice-scorer of the world, behind only the great Gerd Muller.

tostão ( striker and maneuver a second striker ) # 9 - 170 x 69 kg - Mancino. Player often overlooked, is a striker tostão operating system being equipped, as well as exceptional technical, tactical intelligence also considerable. E 'at the same time assist man and finisher. Trai number ten Brazilians he is the most advanced, though not the most offensive as a vocation.

Pelé ( left midfielder / second striker / playmaker ) # 10 - 173 x 73 kg - Ambidextrous - What about him? At 30, he won his third (actually second) world from the protagonist. Speed, technique, eye for goal, physical strength. In this world Pelé also showcases an extraordinary tactical intelligence, working for the first time in national as pure playmaker behind the companion department tostão Jairzinho and the right wing.
