According to what was previously published, this would be the theoretical ideal formation of the period 66-67 to 69-70 (4 seasons) with a tactical approach 4-2-4:

Mazurkiewicz (Banks); Carlos Alberto, Shesternev, Moore, Facchetti (Gemmell / Cooper); Beckenbauer, Rivera; Best, Pelé, Cruyff, Dzajic.

Rivera fight for a spot with Pelé as #10. That opened a slot for Charlton, maybe?

Maybe, Best as LW, And that opened a slot for Jairzinho as RW
(Something interesting, because Jairzinho wasn't considered as the best "head and shoulders" RW in SA in the 2nd half of the 1960s (only since the WC 1970)

Yep, if there's one position about wich we were not totally confident about or not that comfortable with our choice at the moment of voting, it was well at the LB position. That was the case for me at least. Well, except in '67.
