In part two of this series looking at the best Brazilian players of all time, I will be taking a look at the finest Brazilian talents of the 1970s and 80s.
From the remarkable team of 1970 through to the abundantly gifted yet ultimately unsuccessful squads of the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, there are some truly extraordinary footballers to choose from. Again, if you think you know better then please don’t hesitate to express your views. (…)
Jairzinho (81 Caps, 33 Goals)
Another member of Brazil’s World Cup squad of 1970, the Rio-born Jairzinho was arguably the finest, most electrifying member of that abundantly talented group of players during the competition. Playing for the most part as a right winger, Jairzinho was, like Garrincha before him, a Botafogo legend and an audaciously gifted presence in the Brazilian sides of which he was a part.
During the 1970 tournament Jairzinho scored in each and every game, finishing with seven goals and a reputation as one of the world’s best players. He went on to play for Brazil until 1982 before finally calling time on a glittering eighteen-year career in the yellow and green of his home country, retiring as one of the most revered Brazilian players of all time.
Gerson (70 Caps, 14 Goals)
Perhaps not the most glamorous member of the class of 1970, Gerson was patently one of the most important. His willingness to sit in midfield alongside Clodoaldo allowed Pele, Jairzinho and Rivelino the optimum creative freedom with which to take apart opposition defences, something they achieved on an alarmingly regular basis.
Gerson was the link between defence and attack, a studious passer of the ball and a tactically astute player who was integral to holding Brazil’s many components together as one efficient footballing machine. His influence was noted during the 1970 final, a game in which Gerson was given the man-of-the-match award for scoring the third goal of the match to make it 2-1 to Brazil and for the way in which he effortlessly orchestrated so many of his team’s attacks as they played their way into the history books.

dos anos 2000, vão colocar o alessandro, fahel e o artilheiro das decisões, émerson...
Snoopy, nos anos 90 também é referido o Beto, mas teve tão pouco tempo no Botafogo que julgo não ser referência nimportante...
Além dos que referiste, talvez incluir o Fábio, o Abedi, o Vanderlei... que grandes jogadores nos últimos anos...
Abraços Gloriosos!
