Brazil at 1998
Mário Zagallo·4-4-2
88OVR
Zagallo's 1998 Brazil. Ronaldo at the peak of fear, Rivaldo as the left blade, Cafu and Roberto Carlos as the flanks — and a final that never felt right.
Ronaldo (96) is the headline. Rivaldo sits behind that in the ratings, which is not the same as who actually ran the dressing room.
What they actually did that year: FIFA World Cup runners-up — Saint-Denis. Also on the list: Ronaldo as the world's most feared forward.

How this XI is built
Possession sits at 58, not a religion. Counter-attack 86: the point is the break, not the concert. Attack 94 is the loud number.
