Garrincha was a worshiper of the beauty of football. While the contemporary Pele was tearing Santos' ground with goals, Garrincha did not bother to score goals. Garrincha liked to dance with defenders and even goalkeepers with the ball at his feet. According to a Brazilian journalist, "Pele played football for goals, Garrincha played football." To enjoy the beauty of football."
The audience at the stadium could connect with Garrincha the best. As long as Garrincha dribbled, the crowd would shout "ole ole". The crowd affectionately got the name "A Alegria do povo", which means "joy of the crowd".
Arguably the best dribbler in the history of football, Garrincha is also the best player in the history of Brazil after Pele, he has two World Cups to his name.
Nothing less than Pele did for Brazilian football but his name was never uttered in unison.
Brazilian people have not forgotten the "joy of the crowd". There Garincha will be next to Pele, in every generation of Brazil, a Neymar, Vinicius, Anthony will come to remind Garrincha again.
Garrincha never thought about the complicated aspects of football in his life. He left the world 39 years ago with this simplicity.
