Ochoa's save bodes well for Brazil, says Pele

The Dhaka Times Desk Brazil fans must not be too relieved after the goalless draw with Mexico. However, Pele's comments on this issue are hopeful.

Pele says Ochoa's save bodes well for Brazil. Why? After 26 minutes, a powerful header from Neymar was brilliantly blocked by Ochoa. This incredible save reminded me of Gordon Banks. In 1970, Pele's head was blocked in the same way by this 'great' goalkeeper of England. It was also Brazil's second match in the World Cup. Neymar is also called Pele's successor. So similar! What is the harm if there is such a match at the end of the World Cup? Pele hopes so, 'The save was fantastic. I hope the service will be the same as it was with me. Banks blocked my goal in 1970. But Brazil won the World Cup.'

Time will tell who will have the last laugh at the Maracana on July 13. But Brazil fans can find another match like Pele if they want. In 1970, the highest goalscorer award went to German legend Jared Müller. Another Müller is moving forward in the same way with a hat-trick in the first match. 24-year-old Thomas Muller.
