Pele vs Beckenbauer (Brazil x Germany - 1968)

Back


Beckenbauer is the best defender that football ever produced. The inventor of the attacking-defender, "The Libero" Team Honours World Cup: 1974 European Championship: 1972 European Cup: 1974, 75, 76 Cup Winners: Cup: 1967 World Club Championships: 1976 Bundersliga: 1969, 72, 73, 74. West German Cup: 1966, 67, 69, 71. ___ Individual Honours European Footballer of the Year: 1972, 76 ____ Every movement he made on the pitch bristled with elegance. There was an arrogance in his play that suggested he was always in command - "Emperor Franz" and "The Kaiser" they called him. But more than that, he was a great thinker about the game and brought about a revolution in the way it is played by inventing the role of the attacking sweeper. Those powerful long runs out of central defence had never been seen before. Up to then, no one had thought that a sweeper had any job being in his opponents' half of the field, let alone scoring. Beckenbauer both created and bequeathed this tactic to the modern game. It contained the element of surprise and it became his trademark. ______ In this video, the great Beckenbauer had to knell before the King. Pele gave , according to Beckenbauer own words, the most humiliating dribble he ever could accept. Like Beckenbauer always says: Pele is the best football player of all times.
