Everaldo (footballer, born 1944)
His good performances at Grêmio led to Everaldo being called up to the Brazil national football team for the first time in 1967 for the games against Uruguay in the battle for the Copa Rio Branco. After three draws, it was decided to share the title. In 1970, national coach Mário Zagallo included him in Brazil 's squad for the 1970 World Cup, which took place in Mexico. Brazil, with players like Carlos Alberto Torres and Pelé, became undefeated world champions in the final against Italy beating 4-1. Everaldo did not miss a single minute in the tournament, in which Brazil conceded just seven goals.
