Brazil 1982
FIFA World Cup second group stage — eliminated by Italy
Telê Santana·4-3-3
90OVR
Santana's 1982 Brazil. Zico and Sócrates as the brain, Falcão as the extra pass, and a 3–2 afternoon against Italy that still feels like a crime.
Same club, other years in the database: 2026, 2014, 2002, 1998, 1994, 1970, 1962, 1958.
Tags on the page — samba football, creative overload, positional play — are shorthand for how the model leans, not a documentary.
