Satadru145Brazil "Victorious" XI (1958)
The world saw the arrival and ascendancy of the greatest player of all time. Pelé at the age of 17 mesmerised the cosmopolitan crowds of Europe with amazing skills, technique and nous. However, the Brazilian team was still legendary in every other respect, as the amount of skills in this team was unbelievably good. Also, along with Pelé, arrived another raw genius, a deformed man who went on to become the greatest dribbler of all time. Garrincha was synonymous to the Brazilian football theme "Joga Bonito". Incidentally, Brazil never lost a single match, when Pelé and Garrincha played together.

This team also had two of the greatest exponents of the wingbacks - Nilton Santon and Djalma Santos, two of the greatest midfielders - Zito and Didi, a brilliant goalkeeper in Gilmar, and a prolific goalscorer in Vavá. A dream team duly ornamented with the World Cup.
