He’s the greatest Brazilian to never win a World Cup.
Former Dutch international Ruud Gullit rated Zico as "one of the best dribblers in the history of the game", describing him as "very nimble".
In addition to his footballing skills, Zico was also known for his leadership, mental strength and determination, as well as his stamina, dedication and for having an outstanding work-ethic;
He scored 333 goals at the famous Maracana stadium alone and guided Flamengo to four league titles, one Copa Libertadores and another Club World Cup in the '80s.

"So listen to this" is iconic 😅

He's a legend in Brazil and Japan. Most of the powerhouse Japan had become in football in the last decades is due to this man. A hero of two worlds.

Zico wasn't responsible for the awful performance of the defense and the goalkeeper against Italy. Indeed, he played an amazing match that day. His assist to Socrates goal was poetry.

[FlorensVanSchooten]

Zico is my father's hero. Even being a Botafogo fan (Flamengo Rival) my dad still loving Zico!

[Heman-kzxr]

He is remember as
"White Pele" or "the greatest brazillian to never won an World Cup" that would have been appropriate title over Brazillian Maradona.

Zico is among the all-time top 5 best Brazilian players ever and I don't think youngsters fully understand how incredible this guy was. Maradona was certainly the top player of the 80s, but this guy was certainly the second greatest of that decade... His performance in the Intercontinental Cup against Liverpool was not merely a masterpiece, it was a massacre. Liverpool were completely shred to bits by Zico in just one half of the match, in a breathtaking display of amazing footballing skills...
During WC 1982, he was the best in a team of grand masters. Every single goal from that team was a piece of art and he was involved in most of them...

A truly great player that didn't manage to get football's ultimate prize, in the same fashion as other past greats such as Di Stefano, Puskas, Cruyff and Eusebio...

My grandfather always told me about zico and his heroics

Eu adoro esse tuga... O roteiro é bem feito e te pega na história. Sendo eu um torcedor do Flamengo, só posso ficar mais comovido com esse doc. Thanks, dude.

Finally Zico! My favorite player after R9. Good work and i'm happy your channel is growing so fast. Love from Norway

I still remember the 4:1 Brazil vs Scotland World Cup 1982 and of course the game against Italy, was a little boy back then

[depekthegreat]

Brazilian legend Zico sir was an iconic legend even if that one defeat ruined his career and he must be ever remembered as one of sporting greats and long live to him, good friends!!!🙏

[johnpacino]

He was not the Brazilian Maradona. That's just crazy, because he was before Diego. He was known originally has "the white Pelé". A title he hated.Zico had everything has a footballer. Dribbling, passing, speed, heading, free kicks, playmaking, free style skills, prolific goalscoring. Never lost a match against Maradona. And out the six games they played against each other. He won four of those matches & matched Maradona skill for skill in all those six games. What cost him in terms of a PR goated legacy, was never leading Brazil to a world cup trophy win & not playing in Scudetto extensively like Platini & Maradona. Bossing the league like them. Still, he was the best South American player of the 1970s & second best South American player of the 1980s behind Maradona.

[rafael_moreira]

I never saw this guy playing, but he is one of my idols in football. His persona, everything he represents for us Flamengo fans is just another level. As some people would say: "If Zico never won a World Cup, well... too bad for the World Cup".

[annjacobs]

You always know how to make good content!

[Han-qppe]

"where ironically he won two world cups" that line gave me goosebumps all around my body.

[Kelberoth]

he'll never been forgotten in Brazil :')

[xmoose]

Your storytelling and respect for the most beautiful game on Earth and it's legends are amazing, the best. Thank you very much for teaching those history lessons <3

Add to it, he was one of the greatest players to go to Japan, and help outside of the pitch to create the J league and evolve the Japanese football.
Finally in 2004 he was Fenerbahce coach and led the team to the historical semi finals of UCL, until today the best position of the Turkish team.

I love this guy, one of the best players in history ♥️🖤
