In the 1966 World Cup, was Eusebio better than Pele?

At the 1966 World Cup in England, Eusebio's individual skills reached their peak. In the first stage of the World Cup, he led Portugal to a 3-1 victory over Hungary and a 3-0 victory over Bulgaria. Then he defeated the superior Brazilian team with 3 1 and entered the semi-finals with his head held high.

In the competition for the rematch, the Portuguese team was mentally unprepared, underestimated the level of the North Korean team, and was beaten 3 0 by the North Korean team first. In the face of the grim situation, Eusebio, who has never been afraid of any opponent, calmed down, he knew that in terms of level, they were above the North Korean team, and the key to the disadvantage of the opening was to underestimate the enemy. After finding the root of the disease, Eusebio threaded the needle with a rare general's demeanor, dispatched 3 lines, and coordinated the rhythm of attack and defense.

Portugal quickly equalised with Eusebio scoring two goals on his own and his team-mate Ogum netting a goal as well. The good news is that Eusebio and his teammates were not satisfied with this, they continued to attack and extend the results, Eusebio himself scored two more goals, and Portugal won 5-3. The match became a World Cup classic.

After reaching the semi-finals, Portugal faced England led by Bobby Charlton. In a sense, this match is a contest between Charlton and Eusebio. The match was held at the famous Wembley Stadium.

Charlton scored two goals after the break. In the second half, Eusebio took a penalty to pull a point back. The atmosphere in the audience was tense to the extreme.

With the hosts, all the England fans were desperately cheering for Charlton and cheering for the England team, and England took advantage of the situation. But Eusebio ignored the cries of the England fans, he was there like a leopard.

Running around the pitch, deftly dribbling past people, often before the defenders could get close to him, the ball still firmly stuck to his feet. But instead of smiling at the talented star, Lady Luck gave luck to Charlton's England team. As soon as the final whistle blew, Eusebio and his teammates cried as they lost 2-1 to England and lost their chance to win the title.

But Eusebio quickly picked himself up and worked closely with his teammates in the race for third place to win the Soviets in one fell swoop. Eusebio was named the top scorer of the World Cup with nine brilliant goals and was named in the World Cup Team of the Year.

Pele is undoubted. Of course, this is the result of an analysis of the entire football careers of the two.

Yes, it's hard to say at other times, but at that year's World Cup, definitely better than Pele.

It's not just the technique, it's the individual's contribution to the team, and the achievements.

You have to know that at that time, Eusebio was like a god.

It should be better than Pele, and I think the technology is stronger than Pele, and I have my own opinion.

It seems that you are a hardcore fan I think it is okay, because the standard of the king of the ball is that the club and the national team have reached the peak, so he can become the king of the ball, Cruyff is just short of the World Cup, so he is called the football saint!

Bobby Moore.

In 1966, a British reporter once recorded the details of the final moments of the Wembley final that year - when the Federal Republic of Germany, which was 2-3 behind in extra time, attacked and tried to make a last-ditch fight, Moore, the soul of England's backline, successfully broke up an attack of the opponent and calmly delivered the ball to the feet of his teammate Hurst, who scored a hat-trick and accepted the carnival celebration from his teammates, while Moore was very calm and slowly wiped the dirt on his hands - As captain, he began to prepare to take the Remet Gold Cup from the Queen.

Moore is the most respected defender in the history of English football, not only because he won England's only World Cup title to date as captain, but also because of his outstanding style on the pitch – unlike England's usual tall and fierce defenders, Moore is considered one of England's best defenders in the history of England with his excellent footwork and ball control.

Moore is also the youngest captain in England's history, having taken over the armband at the age of 22 and taking charge of all three teams. The West Ham defender made his mark at the 1962 World Cup and reached the pinnacle of honour in 1966, and despite England's early exit from the 1970 World Cup, Moore still had a brilliant performance, losing 1-0 to Brazil, and a very accurate tackle by Moore against Chassino was seen as a classic of successful defence by defenders.

Moore died of cancer in 1993 and was mourned by all the dignitaries in football, and in 2003 West Ham erected a bronze statue in front of Moore and his team-mates in front of their home stadium to commemorate the legend.

The Empire of Tomorrow will be the Empire of Intelligence.

The 1966 World Cup-winning England team had only one captain named Bobby Moore.

Bobby Moore is the most famous national team captain in the history of English football, in the 1966 World Cup, Moore led the team to win the World Cup for the first time, and the moment he received the trophy from Queen Elizabeth II was the happiest moment of Bobby Moore's life. In the 1970 World Cup, in the confrontation between Moore and the football king Pele, Pele was difficult to get a chance, and even Pele praised Moore as a model among defenders.

The final week of the 8th FIFA World Cup was held in England from 11 July to 30 July 1966. This was England's first World Cup, and the England national football team won the tournament, with Eusebio (Portugal) winning the top scorer.

Group stage 0-3 loss to the Soviet Union, 1-1 draw with Chile 1-0 win over Italy in the last game Successfully enter the round of 8 The opponent in the round of 8 is the Portuguese team, they lead 3-0 in the first 25 minutes But the Portuguese team scored five goals in a row under the leadership of Eusebio and eliminated the North Korean team 5-3.

World Cup Story: 1966 North Korea's biggest upset.

The North Korean team is here again, and the "red mosquitoes" are here again. After that stunning appearance in 1966, the North Korean men's national football team once again stepped onto the big stage of the World Cup. This time, they are still full of mystery, they still have uniform slogans and seemingly indistinguishable faces.

Joining Brazil, Ivory Coast and Portugal, North Korea looked to have no hope of qualifying. But if the three teams forget how Italy was eliminated in 1966, chances are they will book their flights home from South Africa in advance – just as North Korea did back then.

Red Mosquito in 1966.

Red Mosquito", this is the nickname given to the North Korean team by the Middlesbrough people, the hosts of the 1966 World Cup in England, because the North Korean team wore red jerseys and were all skinny. North Korea's three group games were played at Middlesbrough, against the Soviet Union, Chile and Italy.

After a 3-0 defeat to the former Soviet Union in the opening game and a 1-1 draw with Chile in the second game, no one believes that North Korea will make it out of the group, after all, their last game against Italy. Before the game, the bookmaker offered North Korea a winning odds of 1,000 to 1. However, North Korea's Park Doo-il scored the only goal of the game to reach the quarter-finals of the 1966 World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Italy.

Since he did not believe that he could beat the Italian team before the game, North Korea had already vacated the hotel room early. So on the night of the victory, the North Korean players had to celebrate while looking for free beds in various hotels in Middlesbrough.

In the 1 4 finals, the North Korean team met the Portuguese national team with Eusebio. Obviously, the group qualification gave the North Korean team a morale boost, and the North Korean team had a 3-0 lead in just 25 minutes. However, Panther-Eusebio then scored four goals in a row to help Portugal win 5-3.

Although the North Korean team was not able to go further, the story left by the 1966 World Cup still has all the fans talking. Now that North Korea and Portugal are in the same group, we will have to wait and see what will happen to the game. （

This was the situation at the time:

Red mosquitoes", this is the nickname given by the Middlesbrough to the North Korean players because they are dressed in red and have a thin build.

North Korea's three group games were played here, and they met Italy after a 3-0 defeat to the Soviet Union and a 1-1 draw with Chile.

Before the game, the bookmaker gave North Korea a winning odds of 1 to 1000, thinking that they could not win, but in the 34th minute of the game, the Italian captain was injured and forced to face 10 people, and North Korea's Park Doo-il scored the winning goal and eliminated the opponent 1-0 to advance, and another super upset in the history of the World Cup was born!

Believing that they would not qualify, the North Koreans vacated their hotel room early, and on the night after the win, they had to celebrate while looking for a hotel on Middlesbrough Street that still had free beds!

Italy, by contrast, fell into hell and returned home to be "entertained" by fans throwing tomatoes and eggs at the airport.

In the 1 4 final against Portugal, the North Korean team created another brief surprise, they led 3-0 in the first 25 minutes, but finally lost 3-5 under the counterattack of Eusebio.

Some say the North Koreans overcelebrated after the defeat to Italy and drank a clean drink from a Middlesbrough pub, which led to their physical exhaustion in the second half.
