Gerson, Tostao, Rivelino, Jairzinho and Pele. Any would have been ballon d'or. Gerson put the touch of the ball, he was the metronome that moved the Brazilian game. Tostao, an atypical striker for the time, skilled and quick, took advantage of any opportunity that came his way. Rivelino was a player on the left wing, with a fantastic ball strike. Jairzinho was class personified. He had an overflow that anyone today would like the most and he also had a goal. And what to say about Pelé. For many, the best player in history was the goal in its purest form. Unstoppable in the race and a technical prodigy. This Brazil would not have existed without him and for many the 1970 team is the best Brazilian team in history.
