How good was Mario Jardel actually? #GOAT
New video about one of the most controversial and naturally talented players we've seen over the 1990's in football. In this episode we take on Mario Jardel who played for Porto, Sporting, Galatasaray, Bolton and Gremio for most of his career.
Been waiting to see a video about jardel. Never understood how he didn't become a bigger name or play more for Brazil. Phenomenonal goalscorer. One of my favourite strikers as a kid.
He was.more of an European point man, scoring from high crosses , he had no speed, skills, Brazilian national team doesn't play that way
He wasn't the most fancy of players and he played during a time brazil had arguebly the best national team in history full of skilful players with incredible ball control
@@nonsookoye9397 He wasn't the only quality Brazilian target man either. Sony Anderson was the same, tall and scored plenty of headers.
Jardel is loved on Grêmio, he was the best scorer of libertadores 1995 when Grêmio won for the second time
Brazil had Ronaldo, Romario, Ronaldinho, Elber, Sony Anderson, Jardel all to choose from in 98-02, which is absolutely insane. A magician like Djalminha barely got play because of the same reason. It's mindfuck how Vampeta or Edmilson got a WC2002 call-up but neither Elber or Jardel did (Romario was snubbed due to his Copa America 2001 drama)
What Zagalo and Filipão did to Jardel is one of the biggest injustices in the history of football
Welp… reached 2 finals - won one, lost the other. Seems they did just fine
They also left Elber Bayern Munich striker amoroso Italy and Dortmund Germany great striker in his prime.. sonny Anderson Barcelona and Lyon striker goal machine .. but in 98 he took a 34yr old bebto who was playing in Japan past his prime.. when jardel sonny Anderson amoroso Giovanni were all scoring goals in Europe.. but Ronaldo took a seizure before the final.. and no Elber jardel sonny Anderson amoroso Giovanni in the squad.. a 34yr old bebto who was past his prime playing in Japan crazy squad selection Elber and jardel in 98 were both goal machines
Really, with R9 on the squad everyone knows who's starting, but not to bring him at all was just stupid.
Jardel was probably the best finisher i’ve seen in my lifetime. Sublime in the air, could score with both feet and was deadly in front of goal, but was rather clumsy and slow. He could only do one thing on a football pitch, to score many goals. The most “pure striker” ever.
U never saw or heard about R9 Ronaldo i guess
Yeah that's a great description
@@rannyranny64 "pure"
No way he was the better finisher, at most, the best header.
I have never seen a player who was so good with his head
we brazilians dont treat well the amazing players we had over the decades, jardel is one of them, what the national team did to him was a disgrace and to this day its the most disgracefull and nonsensical thing we ever did, even worst than zagallo not calling romario for 98 world cup, so i thank you for this, alot of people will know how fucking good Jardel was, it was indeed out of this world
Jardel should of naturalized in portugal and hope that FPF would call him up. Likes of deco and pepe did
@@2502860 I think here in Portugal we felt the injustice done to Jardel. We were all cheering for him to be called to Brazil National team. Then we saw it also happening to Deco that fueled the opportunity to naturalize Deco. Deco was already showing world class in 2001/2002 and no call to Brazil. Then next year Porto won Uefa Cup and still no call , and everyone knew how much injustice was done to Jardel that when Deco was naturalized , it felt right !
@@paulogrilo3992 yes that's reasonable. Now the fifa changed the rules to give opportunity for those whom didn't get enough playing time for their birth country and give opportunity to play for second naturalized country. I think it's if player hasn't played in 3 yrs for home country or only played 3 games not more for home country
@@paulogrilo3992 O problema do Deco é que ele foi um jogador bom em uma geração de GÊNIOS. Se tivesse no auge em 2010, tinha ido pra copa tranquilo.
Jardel era apenas mais um naquela época dourada do Brasil . Tínhamos pelo menos uns 10 atacantes melhores q ele pela seleção.
So... I knew this guy was good, but my goodness I didn't realise he was that good, thanks a million for this
As a Galatasaray fan i'm proud of seen him live. He was astonishing.
Back then as a FC Porto fan the question wasn't if Jardel had scored, the question was of how many goals he scored in the match. Nobody forgets when he scored in San Ciro enabling us to win against the unbeatable AC Milan. Since then we knew that he was special. With him we could beat anybody anywhere at any time.
U knew he was special then why u no give him chance in big club u lead him into ground
@@sahilalam2699 i think clubs were too doubtful about his use since he could not control the ball at all
@@sahilalam2699Porto is a big club
Remember Jardel scoring insane amount of goals. Made it look so simple. The way Cristiano Ronaldo “hangs” in the air when going for headers is for sure from his studying Jardel. Actually I see a lot of Jardel in the “modern” Cristiano. The way he finds space in the box , always open and so on. During his Madrid years you can’t dispute so many of his goals where mirror Jardel . So Jardel definitely lives on. And when I saw Hagi and Jardel together in Gala it gave me chills.. Truly a goal scoring Master and Legend !
Yes bro! Same. He knows the "tempo" like Jardel did
I believe haaland is somewhat like Jardel. And haaland looks up to Ronaldo. In a way Jardel legacy and techniques will live on and through haaland too. Beautiful.
Mário Jardel is a legend in Porto! I was only a young girl but remember it well, how sad all the fans were when he left! A fantastic striker 💙
This is what's so great about your channel, there's of course well-made essays on the established great players, then you touch on the players whom many might not remember straight away, and still manage to give viewers a whole new level of understanding. I was aware of Jardel's time at Porto and Galatasaray (watched his Super Cup winner so many times, complete with Turkish commentary), his heading ability and his addiction problems + decline, but this video gave so much more insight which many other people would ignore. Here's to 100k and more!!
I was really impressed by all the old footage!
He says too mano bullshit, superficial research
His time in Australia was interesting, I think he really did try at the Newcastle jets, However the Australian league is very physical and played in during very hot summers, and he just struggled physically and was unable to make an impact. Excellent player in his prime however.
It's unlikely the heat was that much of a factor, considering he is from Fortaleza. His career was simply over by the time he went to Australia. He no longer had what it takes to play football at a professional level, hence why he flopped everywhere after 2003. A shame, as he was brilliant in his prime.
Yh
@@zeberzeleniev Stupid comment as portugal and Brazil play their serious leagues in winter. A league was in summer. and australia has hotter sun and higher humidity than europe at the same temperature. He wouldn't have played summer football that intensely for 10+ years at that point and even then Brazilian big clubs only take a few games seriously in the state leagues
@@zeberzeleniev I don't know what was the final cause, since even a Jardel with only half of his ability would've scored plenty of goals. He maybe took it as a little vacation.
@@zeberzeleniev maybe he just didn’t have someone to put a good cross in
Amazing work! Good to see Portuguese people shine in the Football community :D VAMOSSSSS ❤️
Think he Brazilian mate
@@eeast7417 Portuguese. The accent is unmistakeable.

@@eeast7417 Yeah you're right. Just that it's rare to have these type of great content by portuguese people. Jardel is brazillian yes. Cheers
@@theportugueselegend there’s great content from people all around the world bro. Just most don’t take the time out to care about where the creator is from and just enjoy the content for what it is. But I understand what your saying.
I love the storytelling on this channel. Iconic players with colourful bios told in a really interesting way. Awesome stuff! ⚽️
Jardel is still a top tier finisher when it comes to heading. He was a legend for Grêmio, and people around the 25+ age range still remember him fondly.
I remember those 7 goals in a game: it's STILL the highest number of goals by ONE player in ONE match i have seen in my lifetime, as far as i'm aware (not including Haaland's 9 goals for U20 Norway).
O maior recorde, embora não vivo, é do Peyroteo, 9 golos ao Leça, Sporting 9 - Leça 0
@@Vasco1Silva Eu vi naquele programa do ludopédio o Mr. J e o Mr. R dizerem que, EM LIGA, o record Mundial é de facto de Peyroteo com 9 golos, só que foi num jogo em que o Sporting ganhou por 14 - 0 (ou 14 - 1): não me recordo do nome do adversário, infelizmente.
You watch Norway under 20 regularly? The full 90, thats fucking mental
@@andydawson5365 Not what i meant: it's the highest number of goals by a single player in a single game in my life time (that i'm aware of). I didn't see that Norway U20 game nor did i see that Porto game either, but i distinctly remember hearing about it in the TV news because it's such a rare event for ANY player to score that many goals in a game. The difference between that Porto game and that Norway U20 game is that Porto's is @ senior level while Norway's U20 is not, which is why i purposely DID NOT include it, as stated in the original comment.
@@Whispererinthenoise Was not aware of this.
You make my day with your amazing vids. They are so Good! Thank you.💯🔥😁
He played for gala und he didnt go to away games he still scored 22 goals that season
The best header in football history, Thankfully I saw him on Porto, what a player 40 goals a season in Porto and like 35 goals were from headers
@@diogohj5987 he scored against real in the CL quarterfinals with a header legendary moment
Why didn’t he go to away games?
Great Video. You gave him what he deserves. I have admired him so much even from Italy and in the ‘90 with so much less chances to look at international matches. It was clear something has happened in his life. But you had clarified everything. Thanks. Probably now he is a man whom could teach about both, football and life. Hope he has found a permanent stability.
Wow!!! What a moving and powerfully scripted film. I remember Jardel being a beast, but had no idea all this happened throughout his career. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure we all have a lot to learn about life from this short, yet informative recollection of a fallen sporting icon.
Jardel foi um dos melhores avançados de todos os tempos! De cabeça não falhava nenhuma! Se fosse hoje em dia valia milhões e milhões! Craque 💙
O Casa Grande então eram biliões. Era ir só á linnha e cruzar, com o jardel a acompanhar.
@@tronalddrump7102 Casagrande só fazia cheirar...
I remember being a kid in the early 2000s and opening up the sports section of a british newspaper and always seeing his name at the top of the European golden boot list. I remember seeing his stats and being impressed with how many more goals he scored than any other player. I thought that one day a big European club would surely come for him. Its sad to see how his career panned out and that he never really got the big break that he probably deserved for club and country.
Porto is a big club

Same here
I remember him in 2006, when he played for Beira-Mar. He was a shade of what he used to be, but he made an effort to play, and for three months, you could see it's old spark. But outside... he drank a lot. I talked to him for some three or four times, and you could not stand his alcohol breath when you were near him. At that time, my cousin used to own a rental vídeo club. One day, she told me that the alarm sounded in the store, with Jardel inside. And he started to open his arms, running arround, saying "its a penalty!"
That's a wild story!
Such a great channel, all of your videos are amazing! Top quality. Great research and insight. Can't think of another KZheadr that does footballer biographies better than you. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You make my weekend the best always... Jardel is a play I used in my Konami games and he was hell a finisher.
I remember when he played for Gala, he was immense. Wasn't there for long but winning the Super cup against Madrid and scoring twice to beat them 2-1 was the highlight of that stint. Amazing player.
Your channel is fantastic in so many ways, the story telling, the pacing, the editing. You're doing an amazing job.
I like ya profile pic mate Leeds fan but I remember that kit through early 90s. Hated ya grey one! Soton 6-3 Man U 😱😱
Galatasaray Legend!! His lifestyle destroyed his great talent.
These are great keep it up (Speaking of the Portuguese league some more what are your thoughts on the curse of bella gutmann?)
So good to see someone giving him some credit, I'm a Gremio fan and he is one of our greatest idols for winning Copa Libertadores 1995, I've already meet him and he is such a nice guy
Thank you for making these videos, these stories are amazing
Mario Jardel , a Ballon D'or worthy player who could not make it . Still his numbers where no mean feat .
Talk about European league politics. It was the same thing that denied Thierry Henry Fifa world best player cos English league was lowly rated than La liga and Serie A in those days
Jardel is the only player that i consider on par with CR7 in HEADERS: i remember watching him playing for both Porto and Sporting and his headers were LETHAL.
@@hadamz007 ahead of who Ronaldinho? Kaka? Zidane? He was good but at that time he did it at 3rd or 4th best league.
Jardel was unbelievable and unique. Sadly for him to demonstrate all his best abilities you would have to build a team and a tactic around him. In Portugal both in Porto and Sporting this was incredibly efficient, and having Jardel would pretty much guarantee you'd win the title. The problem with going to a Real Madrid, Barça, Inter or others is that these teams would have bigger stars that would not want to play exclusively to serve Jardel. But if any of those teams would have done it we would probably be looking at the highest goal scorer of all times, I have no doubt about that. Imagine what this guy would do with a Figo, Zidane, Beckham, Rivaldo etc. crossing balls to him...
The only coach who managed to lost a league with Jardel was no other than Fernando Santos. And to add salt to the whom.... that team also had... DECO. That's enough for me to realize who trash this coach has always been.
Amazing videos as usual… love from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Really nice video’s damn the edits making even nicerr👏🏿
I remember rangers being aftern him . Him and Henrik Larsson both on the Scottish League would've been an unbelievable goal scoring competition every weekend between these two
He was almost signed at Rangers. He came to Glasgow and trained after a fee had been agreed with his club and attended a game with his lovely wife. The story was that he couldn't obtain a work permit, so the move collapsed. I'm not sure how true that is.
I first heard of Jardel when he was at Galatasary and he scored both Galastasary's goals in a 2-1 win over Real Madrid to win the UEFA Super Cup. As Brazil refused to select him he could of had become a Portuguese citizen and switched to Portugal like Deco did. I wonder if he played for Portugal he could have saved them from 1st round elimination in 2002?
He did play for Brazil but not much only 10 games and I think you cant change national team if you played for a national team as adult unless you comes from a country that joind Fifa like Kosovo for example, i can be wrong
@@huginmunin8253 Back then yes but now the rules have changed I believe if you go 2 years without being called up you're eligible to switch national teams
@@ricardo82carvalho ah ok thanks for the info 👍
Congratulations for the best compilation done so far about Jardel, Grêmio’s eternal idol. He didn’t stand a chance in the national team because he was too truthful and lighthearted. His limited yet effective goal scoring skills weren’t enough to convince the managers, despite one of them had coached Jardel in Grêmio when they were champions of the Libertadores Cup.
Your videos are so amazing. I listen to them all the time and learn so much about football. Thank you for all of your work.
First time watching you and I'm already loving the content
Great video man✊ I really enjoyed it......can you please do a video on Djalminha He is one of the most underrated Brazilian players. I think his story would be interesting too
Great channel this! Maybe you could do a video on Bryan Roy next. Destined for the European top of football, but didn't made it. Nowadays he's a quite controversial figure, because of his personal views on different themes.
The fact that he wasn´t called for the World Cup is insane considering his numbers and regular goals vs. Top-Teams. Then again you can´t even blame the coach since he won the World Cup (2002). It just shows the crazy amount of competition and quality of Brazils offensive players back then. I remember when nobody in Germany could believe it that Giovanne Elber wasn´t selected as well (98 or 2002!?), he was a great striker as well playing for Bayern. But they simply didn´t need him.
Man I like this channel. You are a true fan of the sport like me. I recognized Jardel from the first second and also wondered what happened to him. Great work. I also watched your Stoichkov video today. Great work on both players!
Jardel was deadly. I started following football in the mid 1990s: when I looked at the summaries and post-match reports for the Portuguese league, his name always seemed to be on the scoresheet every week.
I remember him well. I always wondered why Brazil never gave him a chance, sure RRR was better then him, but at least give him 1 game at WC, now i understand, i am 100% sure coaches knew he had a drug problem, you can't invite player like that to Brazil national team. Sad. He was amazing goal scorer.
bullshit logic, ronaldinho has such issues but was he exempted from getting called up?? That manager was the buffoon of all time not calling jardal
@@tahmidmahbub9770 2006 ronaldonho was addicted but was the cental player of Brazil and impossible to ignore. And same reason barsa sold him bcz they had messy at that time. While brazil had RRR in 98 and 2002 who were better than Jardel
Derlei, another Brazilian Porto legend, wasn't picked for Brazil because he wouldn't sign with an agent they wanted him to sign with. Maybe Jardel was the same.
The best returns! Could you please do Bojan Krkic? 🙏 😄
Parabéns pela qualidade do vídeo! Seu canal é incrível!
Great video man
Wow man, thanks! Means a lot coming from someone like you!
Thanks Jardel (Super Mario) for helping my team Sporting Clube De Portugal win the league and cup You are a legend

Happy 101k can't believe I have watched you since the ronaldhinho episode🥳🥳🥳🥳 Would like one about marco reus he was breathtaking in his prime before injuries with the trio of gotze lewa and reus
Love the content!
His best time was in Porto. He was my idol when I was a kid. He was the best forward ever in FCPorto history.
Jarden had magic... Just like a rock star that is finished too early
Grande video!!! You keep killing it man!
Great video mate always so watchable 👍⚽️
Thanks for the information. I never heard of Jardel. Brazil imports a lot of great players. In every decade we see at least one talented player
Great video! Any chance on asking your father about Emil Kostadinov who played for Porto in the early 90's. Would love to hear some true fan perspective, good or bad hehe.
He played here for deportivo and despite not his best year he did pretty well. One of the deadliest strikers in the 90 and with stoihkov a truly feared pair
Fantastic striker. Fast, great with both feet, with is head, with is technique. Made a great pair with Domingos, in Porto atack. One of my favourite strikers.

I truly do enjoy your videos dude
Beautiful video! Keep up the good work, man! I loved it! I grew up with Jardel as my idol. He played with Hagi. In Romania everybody knows and respects Jardel.
Phenomenal talent. He was my idol growing up. I used to watch his videos and his movements on the pitch. Pity drug stole his talents away. The second greatest striker Brazil ever had after El Fenomeno
Romario???
Romário is a better striker than Ronaldo.
You have to remember that Edilson and Luizão were key players in helping Brazil qualify to the World Cup of 2002. Brazil should/can't never play in a way to fit Jardel style. Jardel would have to fit in Brazil's style, which frankly, it was never meant to be.
Even Giovanni Elber had the same problem. He was pretty good at Munich but wasn't called up consistently for the Selecao because he didn't fit into their style of play.
@@siyabongakunene5052 Elber, Sony Anderson and Amoroso were all top strikers who struggled to get in the Brazil team.
To be fair, they are second class brazilian striker compared to bebeto, romario, ronaldinho, adriano, rivaldo kaka and ronaldo

Nice one! Good to see you back with a banger. Same. Mário was a legend.
Quando a pátria não nos dá o devido valor. Foi o caso do Jardel. Uma injustiça nunca o terem chamado à selecção. Para nós nação portista, será sempre uma lenda. 💙
Not the kind of player pleasant to the eye but one of the greatest goal scorers of all time, he had a true gift, could score goals out of nothing.
Thank you so much for this very informative video! I used to read about Jardel's exploits in the newspapers all the time as a child and I always wondered why he didn't have a longer run in the Selecao....maybe his drug problem was the reason why he was not picked more regularly? The next step for me would be to look for footage of him so I could see in action the things I used to read about. He did very well to mentor Cristiano!
This video almost made me cry Im an undisputable fan of jardel, im a Sporting portugal fan since little kid Jardel its an idol to me, in football he give me so many happiness and one of the best moments I remember to watch, made me jump screaming goal every time he scored for Sporting. God bless u Jardel!🙏as the tittle says one of the Deadliest strikers of all time! No doubt. Thanks for this vid man ur a great man too for sure👍💪 we love u Jardel a real lion🐯🐯🙌 Forever in Sporting portugal fans heart!!🐯💚 💪
Provavelmente o melhor cabeceador que o futebol já teve. Pessoas falam da elevação do Cristiano, mas muitos não sabem que Cristiano viu Jardel a elevar lá em cima quando o Ronaldo era apenas um jovem no Sporting CP. Eu tenho belas memórias do Jardel no FCPorto, coisas magníficas e grandes em 2 anos dourados na Europa 2002-2004. Enquanto uns (rivais) vivem de RTP memória eu presenciei um feito grande do meu clube 🔵⚪ Scolari sempre fez suas equipas de "compadres" quer na seleção do Brasil como no do Portugal 😪
Pls make a video about Djalminha🙏🙏
For those who played classic football manager game, Jardel is a must buy! He will win you everything!
Thank you this video Mate! Im really enjoyed it
Thanks for the car crash warning man very thoughtful
Jardel the one that got away! He was ready to sign for Rangers in 96, even spotted at Ibrox at a game! Work permit issues ruined the move and if my memory serves me right it was Celtic offering Rudi Vata another year which used up the last work permit in Scotland. Weird rules back then!
He would have been to Rangers what Hendrik Larsson was to Celtic!
did we not parade him as a new signing?
All Rangers fans of a certain age know Mario Jardel. Looking at his stats over those 7 years after we missed out on him. The 10 in a row would have been a certainty.
Great video. I remember hearing that Jardel was coming to Bolton and told my mates to watch this guy, that he was a legendary goalscorer in Portugal. They all had a good laugh at my expense and I couldn't figure out why the guy I saw take down European giants was failing so badly. Now I know why.
That must have sucked ahah
Thank you for this, as I have never even heard of this player. Great video
A liga portuguesa naquela altura era completamente ignorada. Um jogador como ele hoje em dia seria vendido por uma fortuna.
What about Esubeio he is respected as one of the best
@@footballequalslife7452 Eusebio was one of the best. But Eusebio played in a time where benfica was a dominant force in the champions league. Also Eusebio had some great apperences/games on the international stage. When Jardel was palying the portuguese league wasn't even considered a feeder league.
@@ValiunDH I agree but you're exaggerating Portuguese league when Jardel arrived Porto had just won the Champions league and European super cup a few years early Benfica had also gone to a Cahmpions league final maybe 2 years before he arrived so maybe they weren't very popular but they were somewhat known at least the main clubes
@@ricardo82carvalho benfica went to they last European Cup final in 90. Jardel arrive in 96. But, its true the portuguese league was a little forgot by brqzilian coaches. So many great brazilian players that never were called, that play in Portugal. Isaias from Benfica, Aloisio from Porto, Artur from Boavista, etc. With the Bosman Rule entering in 96, a lot of teams from stronger leagues, could bought more brasilian players, so in Brasil, they care more for those leagues.
@@LuisFerreira-kn2nn Aloisio did play for Brazil a few times but this was before Porto when he was a Barcelona player or something like that but yes there have been many Brazilian players that could easily played for Brazil it is what it is
Make a video on Gabriel Batistuta.
I still remember when I first saw Jardel on TV here in Malaysia on a European League Highlights show and Porto was still playing in the old stadium. He was sick.
Beautiful heartfelt video. Your channel is awesome.
"The graveyards are full of undisputable players" damn
Best header ever. Incredible finisher. One of the best strikers i saw playing.
Jardel is one of the best header I ve seen in world of football
meu idolo de infancia ! nunca me vou esquecer daquele futebol que o porto praticava nos anos 90 com jardel , drulovic , zahovic , capucho , jorge costa, aloisio , v.baia, paulinho santos , folha , rui barros...
This is why I love this channel so much! I had no idea who Jardel was until I got my daily dose of football
we need him in fifa , as a hero or as a icon :)
I knew about his reputation in the 1990s but only seen him properly when he played for Galatasaray against Rangers and scored a screamer in that game. The move to Turkey was bizarre at the time, I always wondered why nobody from a top league took a chance on him.
They likely knew about the drug problem and didn't want to even consider helping him out. It seems to be the most straightforward explanation. He probably needed a club that would lobby hard for him to get a place in the national squad, while also tying him down to a healthy lifestyle. Bayern seems to have that culture, ManU used to under Ferguson and Barcelona under Pep as well (although that one in particular was long after Jardel's peak).
Gala were actually trying to join the elite at that time. Had Hagi aswell, won the Uefa and Super Cup and were the base of that side that came third in the 2002 wc. They were tying to make moves and spent pretty big in the early 00s.
Check galatasarays club ranking at the time. We were number 1 in the world.

Great video as always! But there seems to be no more actual football clips in the videos :(
Great Jardel, my "countryman" from the Ceará State in Brazil, I had the pleasure to see him many times when I worked at the President Vargas Stadium, in Fortaleza, circa 2014. Always restless, agitated, sniffing his nose, a shadow of his former self physically, but always impressive, with incredible commanding posture around fans and politicians trying to snap a photo with him. That was right before he moved to the extreme opposite of Brazil, thousands of miles alway, to the city of Porto Alegre, home of his former team, Grêmio, and became a state congressman there, and soon thereafter was impeached for corruption... One of the biggest failed promisses in football history.
I have a feeling more people in football knew about his problems than people thought hence not getting call ups or big moves!
Obrigado por esse vídeo. Sou torcedor do Grêmio e esse vídeo fez sentir justiça de alguma forma. Jardel provavelmente foi o maior cabeceador da história do futebol e mesmo assim até aqui no Brasil ele é injustiçado. Só os torcedores do Grêmio reconhecem ele. Um dos nossos maiores ídolos.
Fico feliz por ouvir isso! Obrigado pelo comentário

very good video man!!!!!! big like!!
The only reason I believe he hasn’t been called up is that at that time Brazil’s team was built off of technical skills, he scored goals, and.. to be fair that was his job on the pitch, but aside from that many people say he lacked the skills to be National team standard for brazil at that time. Still a horrible way to go. he would be in the group with the of the Brazilians we look up to and maybe we still should look up to him as he did so well for himself despite the circumstances
He had more skills than other who were called up obviously
At that time if you are not playing in Italy or
@@udomann2784 that's not true. He called up someone playing in Asia didn't you watch
Its weird how he didnt get selected over much inferior and untested competition. He would have been the perfect player to come on in the late stages of the game if your team is down and need a goal. Was deadly with both feet and amazing in the air. As a manager he seemed like he would be the ideal wild card to change your fortunes on the pitch.
Bebeto wasn't known for his skills
