Alberto in action- an illustration

Throughout the 1970 tournament Alberto proved himself a dangerous attacker, moving up from a deep position. The two diagrams below show: (1) Alberto's hand in creating the classic confrontation between English keeper Gordon Banks and Pele, and (2) the much admired last goal of the 1970 Final against Italy, where his stealthy approach run put him in totally unmarked position to hammer home Pele's pass.
