description: "He scored what many call the perfect goal — a flying right-footed finish in the 1970 World Cup final that sealed Brazil's third title and became shorthand for Total Football. But Carlos Alberto Torres was captain first, goal-scorer second: the man who marshaled the greatest national team ever assembled."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 17 July 1944, Torres played as an attacking right-back, a technically gifted defender who could carry the ball forward and take penalties with precision. He captained Brazil to victory in the 1970 World Cup, scoring the fourth goal in the final — a strike widely considered among the greatest in tournament history. Pelé named him to the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players in 2004, and he was inducted into both the Brazilian Football Museum Hall of Fame and the U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame. In January 2013, he was named one of six ambassadors for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, alongside Ronaldo, Bebeto, Mário Zagallo, Amarildo, and Marta. He died 25 October 2016, known to the end as "O Capitão do Tri" — the captain of the third title.
