Paulo Cézar Caju who played for Brazil in the 1970 World Cup in an interview with France Football:

“The question that the people love, which is best, the Brazil team in 58 or 70?

A group with Pelé, Garrincha, Nilton Santos & Didí cannot be compared to any other in history”

“They are really the saints on the altar to those who see football as an art. The 70’s team were fantastic, magical, unforgettable. For the quality of opponents it can be considered as the greatest World Cup of all time”

"The level of opponents in 1970 was extremely high. But you can’t forget 1950 either, the great Barbosa, Zizinho, Jair, Chico, Friaça & Ademir. They were great"

"1962 was practically 1958 except with Amarildo who showed his quality when they needed to replace Pelé.
The 1982 team with Zico, Falcão & Eder carry a cruel weight for not bringing home the trophy”

”I don’t feel comfortable with the other Brazilian teams because the style has changed. It’s a lot of pragmatic football. Without the magic of the previous years. But I put Rivaldo, Bebeto, Romário, Ronaldo & Ronaldinho Gaúcho up there with the greats in the world”

”But the 1958 team was unmatched”
