New Techniques Invented

Another factor that made this tournament interesting was the presence of Pele. Prior to the World cup, Pele had avowed in public that he would not play World cup but after four years in 1970, he not only played but led the most qualified team in the most awaited tournament. This World cup was different in the sense that the teams involved stressed more on attacking rather than defending. The entire championship was a big success and finale, well that was the most entertaining part of it with two entirely different countries facing each other for the trophy. Whereas Brazil took use of Samba style that concentrated more on dismantling the rival team, Italy, on the other hand, focus more on defending.
