For a while the main sprts newspaper of Sao Paulo,Gazeta Esportiva ,is choosing the best all time teams of Brazil, Coritnhians, santos , Sao Paulo and now Palmeiras:
To put an abest all time teams of these teams is very difficult. I mean people put Flacao in the first team of Brazil and left Zico out, when Zico ws the symbol of that generation. Also in the Corinthians team, Marcelinho is not in it and so on etc...etc...etc.

[AMOROSO!]

WOOOOOW!!!

How come Giovanni is SO high at Santos?

I have to say that I really dislikec him when he played for Barca.Strangely enough,he came to a club I completely hate (Olympiakos) and I loved him...

 

[Ze da Fiel]

Amoroso,
that's because Bobby Robson and Van Gaal totally wasted his talent.
YOU missed him in the 95 Brazilian championship, he was completely AMAZING. He showed up in the scene and 2 months later he was already in the starting line up of the Brazilian team (he got the position BEFORE Rivaldo, who only got a place in the WC)! Remember taht he got signed straight to Barcelona to partern Ronaldo. Pity their manager was Bobby Robson, cause if it was somebody better, they would win everything.....and they only ended with a Cup winners cup!

 

[AMOROSO!]

Giovanni is still a great player and I want him to stay one more year t Olympiakos so I thoroughly enjoy his talent,then move to a great team as he deserve.I really hope he makes his way into the Brazilian team...he got a call early this year but soon after he was seriusly injured...still,he can fight back!

Personally,do YOU like him ZE?

FORCA GIOVANNI!

 

[Ze da Fiel]

I liked his style when he played in Santos, it was very similar to Rai's when heplayed in Sao Paulo in 91-92-93. After the went to Barcelona and being instructed by bad managers (although famous) his football dropped and became so boring.
It will be difficult for him to get back to the Brazilian team, specially playing so far away from teh lime light. Nobody in Brazil watches Greek football, and Giovanni had his chance last year with Luxemburgo. Luxemburgo told him: "wake up now, or that's it, I can't afford to gamble so much on you". And he did not wake up
And now with loads of midfielders coming trough, it will be very difficult for him. Juninho, Ricardinho, Alex, Ze Roberto are all ahead of him.
Giovanni is in the same situation as Junionho (boro), they all had great names in brazil, but European football brought their reputation down. the best thing for those 2 to do is to come back to Brazil, but then again their wages are too expensive for what they present at the moment, and putting some yougnsters will be much better for any club, specially financially wise!
But i do like his football a lot, specially when he is insipired. I would have prefered hiim in the WC to Leonardo! But Zagallo put all his friends in the line up...what an idiot!

i have to say that this team would never lose,according to me this is an unstoppable team.
djalma dias was the father of djalminha,i didn't know that!!
was he really that good,to play in the first team?
i would defenitely drop leonidas and put jarzinho on that position,he was better...
carlos alberto should have played in the first team aswell.
but i think both teams are very good,if all the players would be active now they would win the wc very easy!!!!!

 

[Ze da Fiel]

Nasty,
Leonidas is better....and Jairzinho owuld conflict with garrincha on the right. Between Garrincha and Jairzinho their is no point in arguing...Garricnha is 20000000 miles better than Jairzinho.
Romario is better than Jairzinho also!

 

[nasty nick]

ze,what do you think about carlos alberos chances to play in the first team?
he must be better than djalma dias..

 

[Ze da Fiel]

i h ave nver seen djalma dias play. but he was a defender and not a full back like callos ALberto.
NOw Djalma Santos was better than Carlos albertto in my opinion , and of most people of Brazil. Carlos Alberto is more famous worldwide cause of the 70 title, along with jairzinho.
Once i guy in England almost fought with me saying tah jairzinho was better than Garricnha...when clearly he doesn't stand a chance!
BY the way in the Brazil voting, all the so called experts put only 3 names as unanimity: Pele, Garrincha and Nilton Santos

 

[nasty nick]

djalma santos is a legend nobody can take his place,not even carlos alberto but i thought he may could play on djalma dias possition but like you said he's a fullback and is regulary playing on djalma santos possition,so this time he have to play in the second team..
