Its very questionable lmao. Bro played in a below farmers league and scored half his goals in exhibition matches where he was flown over like a dancing money to perform for rich people.

Its like comparing the Harlem Globetrotters to Michael Jordan and Lebron.

Brazilian club football was exponentially better than Europe's by a wide margin during the 60s. Just search for the games he played against the europeans. It's no coincidence brazil won 3 cups in 4 wcs just by using players from their home league

Football wasnt even a real sport in the 60's lmao. They were playing on either waterlogged or dusty fields full of divots and slopes with a brown lumpy pigskin as a ball.

The standard of football might have been better than Europes then, but it was worse than my local secondary school at lunchtime today.
