Socrates ● Best Midfielder Ever ● Most Underrated ● The Doctor

[@Luckymag-if4dw]

6'4'', fast, strong, supreme technique, one of the 15 greatest midfielders ever, named after a famous philosopher, a graduaded doctor and a dude who fought for democracy on and off the field at times of dictatorship... total baddass. Renato Gaucho didn't succeed at forst in Italy while Amoroso and Amarildo did... anyone that has followed those 3 in the 15 years of their career know Renato is by far the best of the bunch, but I guess coz he didn't adapt that well in Rome and at those times players still didn't feel the need to insist if things didn't go well their first season in europe they didn't need to stay there to I don't know prove their worth or something, they simply came back to the brazilian domestic level , that were in terms of talent overall as good and better than any other place

Ahh Man ! One of most fav player of mine forever ! I clearly remember the the phenomenal Brazilian football team of 1982 led by Socrates ! It was again a very painful day for me and all Brazilian supporters in Bangladesh to see Socrates missing that penalty at the knockout stage game with Italy and Brazil losing it's way ! I literally cried that day it was no exception for millions of other die-hard Brazil supporters in BD. When Brazil comes to the world cup football you will see millions of Brazilian flags waving in stands on the rooftops in different parts of our country. Almost same happens with Argentina Football team. Jogo Bonito for life ! I hate European style tough football.

Que belleza le dio Socrates al futbol... Uno de los grandes. Sin duda está en el top 14 de todos los tiempos. Pro orden de magia, belleza y fantasia: Pele Ronaldo nazario Romario Ronaldinho Rivaldo Kaka Socrates Maradona Roberto Baggio Garrincha Adriano el emperador Zico Rivelino Jarizinho SALUDOS!!!

[@riccardoc1711]

Underrated?? He's one of the absolute legends. You children are so funny.

My elder brother talked to me about the great Brazilian player Socrates. He was inspirational icon to a lot of classic players in the middle east.

Sócrates el doctor magnífico mediocampista..el mejor en su posición lástima en el.mundial 82 .no fue campeón pero sin duda no habrá otro como el ..

[@thedoc225ify]

Socrates and Rivelino. Great midfielders, looked so similar, both played the number 8 position. Could of been twins, iconic players.

[@lm10superior]

0:38 no defenders? Wtf😂 socrates is a legend

[@paulosantiago7457]

Corinthians stole the ball too quick when the defenders were rushing to counter attack, so there was no time to go back.

A rare gem. At the pinnacle of footballing brilliance and physical talent, yet neurologically bright and caring by becoming a doctor.

[@user-gu2qp1qf9m]

He probably had one of the most ironic lives for a footballer . He was a world class footballer, physician (he held a bachelors degree in medicine ), and a heavy smoker and drinker.

[@mikatteba225]

And a politician

His composure was something else. He just knew that he was the best on the pitch

[@gabesegun7966]

Underrated by who? Dont even get me started.He is my best midfielder of all time . My greatest regret for him was that he wasn't able to win the world cup for Brazil

You’re one of those internet people who doesn’t understand the term underrated and gets their panties in a twist.... To say something is underrated is to say it’s not rated as high as you think it should be or deserves to be. It’s essentially praises the player it’s NOT saying no one rates him
