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.
@@SamuelOliveiragarrafieloTruly an amazing player. I remember him in that great 82 wc team. Some of the best goals I’ve ever seen in a wc. They just lacked a strong enough defence and decent keeper.
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.
Agreed In 1982 Brazil decided defense wasn't important, they'd just outscore everyone, but come unstuck against Italy. It was a great tragedy as that team played the beautiful game the way it should be played, but sadly, without cunning.
the young Careca broke his ancle some weeks before the WC, therefore the storm center depended on Serghino, a robust, strong striker, but with his skills he didn't fit in the team of flowing phantasie, a total mismatch, with Careca instead of him we would have seen a 6:3 on this very special day.. to sum it up: Messi had Angel di Maria , Zico Serghino..😢
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...
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.
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!!!🙏
He will never be forgotten by anybody. He is a football hero. Nobody can deny it, only a fool. To speak is name is go mention a legend. Who can argue this?
@@fernando-loula For me, he is easily in the same class as Garrincha, Pele, Socrates. In England, we do not think of these guys as normal, but kind of football gods. They are of the past, unfortunately. We don't see players of this kind anymore. The Beautiful Game was magic. When we watched you guys play, we were hypnotised. Nobody would believe it. We would talk in the school playground the next day. We couldn't believe the skill and the pleasure you guys made. I can't praise your people enough. We are not going to forget, believe me.
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.
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
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.
If Zico had won a World Cup, no one would remember Maradona, because Zico performed better, because he was more objective than the Argentine... he delivered much more GAs as a midfielder.
If he performed better he would have won the World Cup. Maradona scored 5 goals and 5 asists how is that not effective. And he was top scorer in Italy too as a midfielder in the toughest league.
He is without doubt one of the greats, but you’re delusional if you think he was better than Maradona. What he did in 86 cannot be surpassed. Brazil had the better team in 82 I agree and Zico their best player, but Diego was on another level.
@@prometheustv6558Totally agree with everything you say. What he did in 86 and esp at Napoli cannot be underestimated. Winning two league titles in the same era where Milan were at their best and dominating Europe. Napoli had won nothing before him and only won their third ever title two years ago.
He's one of the unrecognized legends for sure!! Man, I seriously love your content, the flow of the story, and everything else in between...Keep it coming!!! :)
There were so many great players in that era for Brazil. They just didn’t focus enough on defending and also never had great keepers then like they do now. If Alisson was around then they might have won in 82.
So, listen to this: the only people who doubt him are the ones that did not see him play. He still score freekicks with amazing precision into his seventies. He beat a 40 year old Dejan Petkovich (BTW great on freekicks in his own right) to the surprise of no one. Half of Brazil just wanted to turn their backs on him, that was expeceted. It would be the same with Maradona in Argentina if he played there for a club as large, it is the same today with many players from Flamengo. And, let's face it: every kid in Europe begs for excuses to erase non-europeans from their lists. Just saying how it is, if Maradona, Messi, Pelé or even Adriano just happened to be from England, for example, it would be a whole diferent level of recognition. If Zico had, as his brother did, left Brazil as a teenager and went to play on his father team in Portugal (Sporting, if I am not mistaken) he would have won the Champinos League (whatever it was called then) probably more than once, and would be a whole diferent story. Saying that 78 cup had "serious acusations of match fixing" is a bad joke, the undestatement of the century. Never before and neveer since have I heard of a referee ending a game with the ball in the net, or even in midair on it's way to the net, as ou your eufemism. Anyway, what the world saw on that cup was just a taste of what was routine especially in Argentina and Uruguay on the libertadores. As for the match of 5 red cards, you seem to have forgotten that of the two back to back red cards, the first one to Reinaldo might reasonably be considered overly strict, the second came right after the restart after minutes of Athletico not letting the game go on to complain about the first when Eder trying to move the ball for a foul when the ref was positioning it, zidaned his head to the referees chest (also something I never saw before or since). It was a bad referee, a bad day of game (had a lot to do with trying to end that tradition of violence in the libertadores), and the rest is history. What he did to Liverpool, known to many in Europe as the best team ever really speaks for itself. As for the world cups, 82 was a bad day for the best team ever. It is a part of the game, that is why it is magic, this heppens. In 86 the coach did well to put him, it was from a pass of his that the penalti came, but it was a mistake to choose him for kicking the it. I cannot overstate this, but it was not Zico's fault. He could and maybe should have played 90, and I think he would have made a diference, but who knows what would have happened. André Kfouri, a journalist from Brazil said the 3 most underrated players he ever saw were Ronaldo, Messi and Zico, and I agree. They did the extrordinary on such a daily basis that people began to demand it from him. Fourtunatly the game and especially referees improved a lot, but it was the violence in general that shortened Zico's legacy. But to the ones that did get to enjoy him, the japanese and the Flamengo supporters like myself it will always be Zico, Flamengo, God ans then the rest.
You should have just added that the 1982 Brazil World Cup team didn’t have their main striker, Careca, who was injured just before the tournament started. Their back up striker failed hard.. especially in that game versus Italy. Lots of chances missed.
1982 world cup introduced Brazil to me,as this was the first time I sat n watch the masters at work though their defence was off. I was so captivated by ZICO,then I was 5years of age hearing all the adults talking about the BOSS.He made the game so simple, moving through the opponents like a hot knife through butter. FIFA was at it prime in corruption back then. But the most beautiful game has come on leaps n bounds since then. ZICO carried any team on his back everytime he sets foot on the pitch.
SELEÇÃO (BRAZILIAN NATIONAL TEAM) FIFA WC 1982 Best player of Brazil Seleção, then, in this competition: FALCÃO (shirt number 15) 2nd best player of Brazil Seleção, then, in this competition: SÓCRATES (shirt number 8) 3rd best player of Brazil Seleção, then, in this competition: ÉDER (shirt number 11)
Let me tell ya something....fc24 ....squad battle (word class difficulty) against a high rated team with messi....88th minute they score....all hope was lost.....then zico...iconically....ankara zicoed the whole team single handedly and scores in the 91st minute...while messi stared in utter shock and disbelief from the bench....we then won in the penalties....my schmeichel vs cech. Imma tell my kids someday.
That 82 Brazil wc team is easily the best team to not have won the wc. He was the star among many great players, but Rossi was also a goal machine for Italy.
Zico will always be the best in my eyes. I still to this day if I’m playing football with my son aim for the top corner of the goal and think I’m Zico 😂. A truly amazing player. He would cost £150,000,000 in today’s transfer market.
Zico was an absolutely wonderful player at his peak. So sad that himself and Diego Maradona, played in the era they did. Defenders were so much more brutal on attacking minded, star players back then. That Claudio Gentile was a very uncompromising player, the type of defender who tackled and took both the ball and the man. Defenders of that era often tackled with such force, they sent opposing players into the air completely of the ground. And referees were were also more lenient back then, so defenders got away with a lot more questionable hard tackling.
It’s good you explained how he was the best player in the Italian league. More effective than both Maradona and Platini, in a worse team. The best midfielder of all time.
UDINESE CALCIO ZICO's ERA:..........

Zico had a much bigger career than Maradona. Maradona was amazing for a short period of time, Zico was outstanding for a whole career. Accolates, numbers... you name it. And before you say "Maradona won the WC", remember two words: HAND BALL.
But generally he’s not even mentioned in all time lists. The current gen really don’t even know of his existence. Pele , Maradona, Cruyff all get mentions.
in the lead up to the 82 world cup in p6/p7 I ended up with the nickname Zico, not for my footballing skills much to my PE teachers visible disgust in 1st year after our first footy session when he asked why they called me zico and I said it rhymed with deeko (my previous nickname).
During his short stint in Italy he had better stats than Platini and Maradona I think. Platini was top scorer that year but with more games played, as Zico joined the league part way through the season.
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".

Zico was outstanding
in brazil we consider him as the second one just behind pelé!
he was almost the equivalent of messi if he played only in the midfield, made 79 goals in a year...
That 82 wc team was amazing to watch and Zico one of its stars. They just lacked a decent defence. Going forwards they were miles ahead of everyone.
@@SamuelOliveiragarrafieloTruly an amazing player. I remember him in that great 82 wc team. Some of the best goals I’ve ever seen in a wc. They just lacked a strong enough defence and decent keeper.

@@patinho5589 He played the entire first season 1983/84 ... and he played a 2nd season, 1984/85 (making only 3 goals (against Lazio, Inter and Juventus))
So listen to this, classic
In football one moment can change an entire legacy just like how it changed Baggio's legacy
Do a video about roberto dinamite vasco da gama greatest idol even more than romario and edmundo and holds the record of gols of the campeonato brasileiro to this day and the most influencial club president Eurico Miranda
Zico was the best player in the world before Maradona.
Zico is the best Brazilian player after Pele.
Please make a story about Tomas Brolin one of the most underrated playmakers in my opinion
Finalmente os gringos vão reconhecer o maior de todos os tempos, melhor no flamengo e no brasil, simplesmente uma lenda, vamo galinhoooo!
What an absolute legend 🎉
Hey 👋 you should make a video on Ivan de la pena I still don't know how he got 99 pass on pes 2010. Most people don't know him and I think that he should be on the same tier as iniesta and xavi in terms of passing
Zico, a man so good that there are Bangladeshi's walking around with that name. My mom has a cousin named Zico.
who in the hell doesnt know zico and even if youve never seen him play im sure most kids wouldve seen his fifa card and known that my guy mustve been op in his time
one of my dad’s favorite player ❤

Can u please do a video on the former auxerre fc manager guy roux he did one of the most impressive feats in football history taking auxerre fc from Sunday league level club to champions of France and a regular champions league team and is probably the most underrated manager of all time
6:03 um dos maiores roubos da história
ZICO + VARMENGO + GLOBOLIXO + CBFlu + PT+PSDB+PCC= CORRUPÇÃO e FARSA NA SUA EXPRESSÃO MÁXIMA 💩 DEPRIMENTE!! VERGONHOSO!! DISGUSTING!!🤮
Best of the players in The 1980s. Still in our heart in Udine …. Force Udin
Zico had a much bigger career than Maradona. Maradona was amazing for a short period of time, Zico was outstanding for a whole career. Accolates, numbers... you name it. And before you say "Maradona won the WC", remember two words: HAND BALL.
Zico's grandparents are from Portugal. His grandfather played for Tondela.
This guy is a mad storyteller
souness said he was the best player he played against. he said he couldn't get near him
Ask any old man in Brazil about Zico and he will tell you that this guy is the greater Brazilian after pele
If you could make a video on PH Ganso that would be great! Love your content
Yes, please

Oh, piss off. Nobody who watched Brazil when Zico played has forgotten him.
But generally he’s not even mentioned in all time lists. The current gen really don’t even know of his existence. Pele , Maradona, Cruyff all get mentions.
@@patinho5589 I'll repeat. Nobody that watched him play for Brazil has forgotten him. Millennials and Gen Z don't know their arse from their armpit.
in the lead up to the 82 world cup in p6/p7 I ended up with the nickname Zico, not for my footballing skills much to my PE teachers visible disgust in 1st year after our first footy session when he asked why they called me zico and I said it rhymed with deeko (my previous nickname).
He isn't Brazilian Maradona. Maradona is Argentinian Zico
You should make a video about mats Hummels maybe?
During his short stint in Italy he had better stats than Platini and Maradona I think. Platini was top scorer that year but with more games played, as Zico joined the league part way through the season.
Please make a video on Pippo Inzaghi... (Month 5 of asking)
In my personal opinion !
Zico at his best is better than anyone who's ever played the game !
next make a video about 2019 flamengo squad
2:09 Wow, this dude kinda looked like Messi.
goat
Make a Rivelino video, Maradonas brazilian idol and Corinthians idol.
Video on Chicharito?❤🎉
