Although he never managed to clinch the greatest prize in world football, Brazil legend Zico knows something about the World Cup having played in three tournaments – 1978, 1982 and 1986.
The 1982 side was regarded as one of the greatest Brazilian teams of all time with Zico, Falcão, Sócrates, Éder, Cerezo and Júnior – and despite Zico scoring four goals during the tournament they lost the final 3-2 to Italy.
Known as ‘the white Pele’, Zico was a creative playmaker, with excellent technical skills, vision, and an eye for goal who played 71 times for his country from 1976 to 1986, scoring 48 goals.
Watch his thoughts below on who will win the World Cup with Belgium one of his surprise favourites.
