Playing style & 2026 outlook
Garrincha — "the little bird" — is Brazil's second great after Pelé, beloved as much for his dribbling as for the joy of his style. With Pelé injured in 1962 he carried Brazil to a second title almost single-handedly. He never lost a match playing alongside Pelé for Brazil.
