What happened?

The Brazil National Team of 1970 is remembered in 'Brazil 70: The Tri Saga', a miniseries that relives the conquest of the triple world championship. With Rodrigo Santoro and Bruno Mazzeo, the production shows a constant tension between historical accuracy and creative freedom.

Why is this important for Brazil?

Despite the brilliant campaign, the team arrived in Mexico discredited. The friendlies that preceded the World Cup were irregular and their biggest star was under pressure, after successive injuries and the traumatic elimination of the 1966 World Cup.

What comes next?

The miniseries is released at a strategic time, shifting the focus from Pelé to the team as a whole and to the political context of Brazil at the time. Given the appeal of the theme, the project could have been released much earlier, but hardly with the same technical resources as today.

The Brazil National Team has a recent history of 2W-1D-1L in the last 4 games. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, the team seeks to strengthen and conquer another title.

Achievements and challenges

The field scenes are surprisingly well filmed, with the help of drones and travellings, but, above all, with a choreography rigorously supported by the moves of the 1970 World Cup. In general, however, the balance is still more convincing than the vast majority of football films.

The Brazil National Team is a team with a rich history and a promising future. With the miniseries 'Brazil 70: The Tri Saga', fans can relive the conquest of the triple world championship and get inspired for the next competitions.
