Carlos Alberto Torres

Is it the best then? International finals, World Cups, European Championships, Copa America, whatever.

I mean, I guess Carlos Alberto tends to hold that honour from Mexico 1970.

The

Di Maria goal in Qatar last year as well was pretty good too, wasn't it?

Yeah, and some of the players, you were right, Graeme, yeah, Franz Beckerbauer did play.

It was Carlos Alberto, the two goal scorers, Dennis Stewart, and the Italian guy, Giorgio Chiniglini, I think that's what his name is.

Oh, God.

And then some of the players for Adelaide City, you would remember KG, Johnny

whenever we were growing up watching the World Cups and stuff like that I think Brazil were the team really weren't they Brazil were the team that were a team which passed the ball for fun, passed it around people, but also everybody in the team had fantastic ability on the ball.

So the one team goal that I remember, and I thought about it earlier on as well, was Carlos Alberto.

Whenever he scored against Italy, it was in the final, wasn't it, when they won 4-1? I think it was the last goal, wasn't it? Brazil must have had 20, 30, 40 touches, move the ball, move the ball, move the ball.

And then he went on the overlap a little bit on the right-hand side and drilled it in from the edge of the box.

And, uh, he, he's unaware of who this player is, but he's quite a good midfielder.

Decides to sign him and says, "I'll meet with your agent tomorrow." And in walked Carlos Alberto, the great, uh, 1970...

[laughs] So he says, "Oh, right.

Okay." Um, and he, he mentions in the book just casually like, "I was meant to be spending Christmas with Annie," his, his partner now, "and, and my parents.

He, he, he's the main player.

In the '70s it would've been Brazil as well, right? Like Carlos Alberto naturally.

Yeah, but who's, who's the, who's the captain?

Well, uh-

You just know Carlos Alberto scored a goal once.

Was Brazil defo winning in '94? Where was it in '94?

USA.

Staying, staying pretty quiet.

He, he once, uh, uh, and this was, this revelation.

Once had his throat, uh, his hands around the throat of Carlos Alberto, the Brazilian-

Oh, the-

...

American Football League.

Yeah.

And, and Carlos Alberto was just going on at this player all, all, all the time, which I suppose when you're a World Cup winner, you, you-

Yeah
