  4. He was regarded as the "brains" behind that legendary 1970 world cup winning brazillian team.

    It is ridiculous how pele left him out of the greatest living players list

  5. O próximo vídeo vc tem que fazer do Alex, ex Fenerbahçe, Cruzeiro, Palmeiras. O jogador mais inteligente que vi jogar.

  6. The Brazilian Brain in 1970 World Cup. Without Gerson, they can't win it.
    Gerson is most underrated Brazilian footballer, one of greatest playmaker ever, with amazing long pass & vision, so intellegent and beautiful.

  7. Brazil played on a 4-2-4 formation in the 1970 world cup if I wasn't wrong , and I think you don't need 3 midfielders if you have 2 who one of them is Gerson

  8. Always thought the 70 Team was blessed in having four superb playmakers complementing each other, Pele, Tostao, Rivelino and the matchless Gerson. What a player this guy was, great technique, fantastic game sense, leadership and no little steel when needed. Brill video as ever
