## Bio

Born 1 January 1946 to Italian immigrants, Roberto Rivellino grew into an attacking midfielder whose vision and close control made him one of the most graceful players the game has seen. He was a cornerstone of Brazil's 1970 World Cup-winning side, the team that set the standard for beautiful football. His long-range shooting, bending free kicks, and mastery of the flip-flap move became templates for generations — Maradona named him among his greatest inspirations, and Pelé put him in the FIFA 100 in 2004. He now works as a pundit for TV Cultura, the moustache still intact, the left foot retired but not forgotten.
