Brazil vs Czechoslovakia 1970 World Cup Group C. Brazil won 4-1
On the eve of Brazils opening match in the 1970 World Cup, expectations weren t as high as one might think in retrospect.
The then two-fold World Champions had left a poor impression in the 1966 tournament, defeated in the group stages by both Portugal and Hungary. 1966 still stands as Brazils worst achievement in World Cup history.
By 1970, the memories of Brazil 1958 and 1962 victorious sides had started to fade.
Garrincha, Didi, Nilton Santos, Vava, Djalma Santos ? their careers were long over.
But there was a sole survivor...Pele.
This would be one of his greatest games ever.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the intense clash between Brazil and Czechoslovakia in the 1970 World Cup Group C. The scoreline reads 4-1 in favor of Brazil, but on the eve of this match, expectations were not as high for the Brazilian team. After a disappointing performance in the previous tournament, where they were eliminated in the group stages by Portugal and Hungary, Brazil's reputation had taken a hit. The memories of their victorious sides from 1958 and 1962 seemed distant, with many legendary players having retired. However, amidst all doubts and uncertainties, there was one man who stood tall - Pele. This game would go down as one of his greatest performances ever. As we gaze at this picture capturing him in action on June 3rd, 1970, we witness his sheer determination and skill that made him an icon of football. The image is filled with energy as Pele runs across the field wearing his sportswear adorned with FIFA's iconic logo. His moods and expressions reflect both competitiveness and focus. This photograph serves as a reminder of how legends are born on such grand stages like the World Cup. Allan Olley & Monte Fresco have beautifully preserved this moment from history through Memory Lane Prints. It is a testament to Pele's enduring legacy within football culture during that era when men like him dominated the sport.
