Alright, let’s gab about them Brazilian fellas who play that kicky-ball game, you know, the one with the grass and the net. They call ’em “midfielders,” sounds fancy, but it just means they run around in the middle a whole lot. These fellas, they ain’t just kickin’ the ball for nothin’, they gotta be smart, gotta be tough, and gotta have some magic in their feet. We gonna talk about some of the best, the ones that made even this old woman stop and watch the telly.
First off, they got this fella, Didi. Now, he played way back when, before all these fancy colors and haircuts. Won the World Cup, not once, but twice! Imagine that! Twice! He must’ve been somethin’ special, runnin’ around, passin’ the ball like a hot potato. Folks say he was a real smooth operator, knew just where to be and when. He ain’t flashy like some of these youngsters, but he got the job done, and that’s what matters, right?
Then you got this other guy, Oscar. He’s a bit more modern, plays in that fancy league over in China, I think. They say he’s real good, scores high, plays a lot of games. Never seen him play myself, but the young’uns, they go on and on about him. Guess he’s got that somethin’ special too, that makes him stand out from the crowd. He probably runs a lot, these young fellas always runnin’.

- Some old, some new, all good
Now, these Brazilian fellas, they got a reputation, you see. They ain’t just good at kickin’, they good at thinkin’ too. They gotta control the whole game, from the middle of the field. They gotta defend, gotta attack, gotta pass the ball just right. It ain’t easy, I tell ya. Takes a special kind of fella to do all that and still look good doin’ it.
They talk about Zico, another one from back in the day. Folks say he was somethin’ else, a real playmaker, could make the ball dance. Never seen him neither, but they say he was one of the best, maybe even the best of his time. Imagine that! Being the best at somethin’. Must be a nice feelin’. Probably made a whole lotta money too, these fellas always makin’ the big bucks.
And there’s more, lots more. Dunga, they say he was tough as nails, wouldn’t let nobody through. Gilberto Silva, another one, good at defendin’ too. Seems like these Brazilians, they got a fella for everything. They got the flashy ones, the tough ones, the smart ones. It’s like they got a whole factory over there, just churnin’ out these kicky-ball players.
Pelé, now there’s a name everyone knows. He weren’t just a midfielder, he played all over the place, scored a whole bunch of goals. But he started somewhere, right? Probably in the midfield, learnin’ the ropes, gettin’ tough. He’s like the granddaddy of all these Brazilian fellas, paved the way for all of ‘em. And let me tell ya, he was the best there ever was, no matter where he played.
So, there ya have it, a little somethin’ about them Brazilian midfielders. They run, they kick, they think, they win. They ain’t just playin’ a game, they puttin’ on a show. And even this old woman can appreciate a good show, even if I don’t understand all them fancy rules and formations. All I know is, them Brazilians, they know how to kick that ball.
The Best of the Best, it’s hard to say who’s the absolute greatest. Everyone’s got their favorites, their own opinions. But one thing’s for sure, these Brazilian fellas, they’ve left their mark on the game. They play with passion, with skill, with heart. They make you wanna get up and cheer, even if you don’t know what you’re cheerin’ for.
And that, my friends, is all I gotta say about that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about kicky-ball has made me hungry. But remember, when you see them Brazilian fellas on the telly, remember what this old woman told ya, they ain’t just players, they’re somethin’ special.
