Party details correct up to
and including Brazil's match against Turkey on 1 May 1956.
Wednesday, 2 May 1956 -
Following their one-goal victory over
Turkey, the Brazilian party arrived in two planes at London Airport this evening.
They were welcomed by Sir Stanley Rous, the FA secretary, Joe Mears, chairman of
the English selectors, and Senor Sherman Lisboa, the Brazilian Consul-General.
Almost immediately, the team, including team manager Flavio Costa, were asking
about Stan Matthews.
Friday, 4 May 1956 -
The Brazilian team are using the grounds at Dulwich to train on.
Saturday, 5 May 1956 - The Brazilian
party are part of the attendance that are watching the FA Cup Final at
Wembley between Birmingham FC and Manchester City FC.
Sunday, 6 May 1956 - The Brazilian
footballers staged an unexpected practise match behind closed doors at
Craven Cottage. The neztional eleven beat their reserves 2-0, the goals
being scored by Gino and Alvaro. The Brazilians showed speed and stamina
in the brilliant sunshine during a game which lasted an hour, all one way,
and without a break. Flavio Costa reported the inside-left, Didi, as fit
after his ankle issues. A feature of the game was the number of chances
missed by the first eleven because of over-elaborate passing in front of
goal. A large amount of work was given to the reserve outside-right in
order to test the captain, Santos, who will have the task of trying to
keep Stanley Matthews in check.
Monday, 7 May 1956 - This morning, the
Brazilian team concentrated on ball control and physical training
exercises at the home of Fulham. They finished their training with deep
breathing exercises, all except goalkeeper Gylmar. He had concentrated
penalty practise from Taffy O'Callaghan, Fulham coach and former Welsh
inside-forward.
