The last time Brazil played like that Zico was still playing.
Zico was the first International player I idolised. I was Zico during the school summer holidays of '82. Well in truth I had the first touch of Shoala, the passing accuracy of Butt and the goalscoring prowess of Smith, but I did have the Brazil kit.
That team was absolutely class. Shame they never had a striker to match their midfield. Although Serginho does get an awful lot of stick.
They really were fantastic to watch. Even though it was so long ago the names of the likes of Zico, Elder, Serginho, Falcao, Junior and Socrates just roll of the tongue. That World Cup, and in particular Brazils memorable second round group games against Argentina and Italy, was when I really fell in love with the game.
It's been downhill ever since
Serginho was a poor mans Justin Fashanu.Yes he was that shit!Eder was the most one footed player i think i've ever seen,although it ewas probably one of the best left feet i've seen!
