Match Report
by Norman Giller |
England's first match
of a four-game summer tour was a minor test against the new world
champions in front of 185,000 screaming fans in the Maracana Stadium in
Rio. Bobby Charlton and Johnny Haynes rapped shots against the post after
England had gone 2-0 down to early goals against a Brazilian team that
featured both Didi and Pele in a rare appearance together. Blackpool's
Jimmy Armfield was given a chasing he will not forget by Julinho in what
was a baptism of fire for the Blackpool defender. He was called in to
partner Don Howe in an out-of-club position at left-back. Norman Deeley,
small, direct Wolves winger, was the fifth player to wear the number seven
shirt since the departure of the one and only Tom Finney. Goalkeeper Eddie
Hopkinson saved two certain goals from Pele, but could do nothing to stop
a thunderbolt from Julinho, who had been picked in preference to the great
Garrincha. As Eddie Hopkinson lay on the ground after being beaten all
ends up by Julinho's shot, a posse of Brazilian radio commentators rushed
on to the pitch to try to interview him. It is
just as well that they
could not translate his direct comments delivered in Lancastrian tones!
England were well and truly beaten by the world champions and did well to keep
their score down to just two goals. Didi and Pele together was just about the
most potent combination that any team in the world could put together. Ronnie
Clayton clattered into Pele with a tackle that led to the king being carried
off on a stretcher for treatment. He soon came back, but for the rest of the
game Clayton's life was made hell by the Brazilians fans who would not
forgive him for hurting their idol. Shortly before he was carried off Pele
missed a sitter right in front of an open goal. He was human, after all.
