DJALMA SANTOS
Jalma Santos was a Brazilian right back who played in three World Cups. Unlike other defenders of the time, Santos excelled in tremendous kicking technique. This allowed him to support the team\’s attacks. As mentioned above, Jalma Santos participated in three World Cups, winning two of them. He was part of Brazil\’s golden generation, where players like Pele, Garrincha, Vava, and Zagallo shined. Only Franz Beckenbauer was named an All-Star in all three of these tournaments. Jalma Santos spent her entire career with Brazilian clubs, playing more than 1,000 games; she died of pneumonia in 2013.
Carlos Alberto 
.
Carlos Alberto was a right back who was part of the famous Brazilian generation that won the 1970 World Cup. The team of the time, starring Pele, Jairginho, Riverino, and Gerson, went through the entire World Cup without losing a single game, beating the then-strong Italy 4-1 in the final. Carlos Alberto scored one of the most iconic goals in World Cup history. He spent most of his career in Brazil with Santos, Flamengo, and Fluminense. But in the late 1970s, like many other star players, notably Pele, Cruyff, and Beckenbauer, he was lured to the newly formed NASL in the United States. After his retirement, he began his coaching career, coaching Flamengo, Corinthians, Monterrey, Botafogo, and the national teams of Oman and Azerbaijan.
Berti Fogst [15].
German right back who spent his career with Borussia Monchengladbach. Fogst was a member of the famous German national team of the 1970s, which, along with Franz Beckenbauer and Paul Breiter, formed one of the most impregnable defenses in the history of World and European Championships. Nicknamed “Terrier” for his tenacity and style of play, Fogst won gold medals for Germany at the 1974 World Championships and at the 1972 Euros, and was a member of the German national team at the 1974 World Championships. He went on to win five league titles with Mönchengladbach. Vogst was twice named Germany\’s best player, was named to the Bundesliga season\’s best team nine times, and was twice named to the World Cup All-Star team. After retiring, Fogst became a successful coach, leading the German national team to medals at the 1992 and 1996 European Championships in the 1990s and working with Kuwait, Skontland, Nigeria, and Bayer Leverkusen.
Cafu [17].
Cafu was another of Brazil\’s many attack-minded side-backs. Unlike his predecessors Jalma Santos and Carlos Alberto, however, he also showed his ability on the European stage. But it was a failure, and he returned to Brazil. Two years later, AS Roma, who was already captain of the Brazilian national team at the time, offered him the opportunity to play for them. This time, he never returned home again, and Cafu began to amaze European audiences with his physicality, speed, and attacking concepts. For the last five years of his career, he moved to AC Milan. His greatest achievements, however, came with the national team. He participated in three World Championships, hoisting the trophy in 1996 and 2002 before losing in the final to the phenomenal Zidane-led France in 1998. Still, he is the only player to have played in three consecutive World Cup finals. Cafu has played a total of 142 games in a Brazilian national team jersey, a record he still holds today.
