The team that changed my life after a year of the Flamengo game in 1981, this team just changed my life in-terms of football and the appreciation of art, first time I knew art existed in football many people talk about Barcelona now...but this team was way ahead with flair and precision. People say the 1970 Brazil team was better, some said the this World Cup Team in 1982 was better, but I was not there in 70 watching it live I cried when they went out so did my father and it took a lot for my father to cry.
This argument about football being easier compared to now is stupid, every era at that time ...all things are equal so to achieve something at any era is great. Well if you want to compare I will tell you my opinion...This team I dare say was better than Barcelona, why? Brazil in 82 played with not just with precision, but with more flair, they had a couple of players who were just short of being a Messi and those were their average players!!! This video is great with the sound track and the goals watch it...embrace it...cherish it....and (if you were not there to watch live at that time) curse yourself for not being there at that time for watching this team. So thank you Tele Santana for bringing this team and art football to us.
