Brazil and Italy had the best teams in the world and maybe in the whole history.
When the two teams faced each other, the whole world stopped just to watch the art being made.

Giba, Serginho, Gustavo, Ricardinho, Eder, Dante e André que geração dos sonhos essa que o Brasil teve, facilmente um dos melhores times da historia, certamente o melhor que já vi.

[xgettou]

Não é atoa que foi eleito o melhor do mundo inúmeras vezes, o cara é realmente uma LENDA, giba era um monstro, representou e muito, sdds dessa geração

[ancapatrascu]

Wow he was so precise, around the block, perfect down the line, such angles with the cross shots. And i have the impression he was also difficult to read, he seems to always face the same way, but easily go over his shoulder to the left. And so fast and strong! Dreamboat of a player

[jairotipple]

Esse time era ridículo. Melhor ponteiro passador, melhor levantador e melhor líbero de todos os tempos.

[ng.duytan]

The best volleyball player I've ever known

[juninhosilva]

Melhor jogador de todos os tempos! Representou nosso país e ainda é humilde e gente boa. Melhor do Brasil até hj ❤️🏐❤️ 🇧🇷

[dorinevesnogueira]

Serginho fazia cada levantamento. Incrível. Serviu bem ao talento de Giba. E o mundo agradece pelo show.
