RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- Brazil will be replaced by a new jersey for the World Cup qualifiers on November 13, this time in honor of the 50th anniversary of winning three World Cup titles, so the style is the same as 50 years ago, and the spokesperson is the player and coach Zagallo, who has participated in three championships.

Zagallo, 89, said: "The yellow jersey represents the best moments of my personal life. ”

The new vintage jersey is also a collarless style, with a circle of green on the sleeves, almost the same as in 1970, but also added some small details, such as the three-time championship year printed on the inside of the back neck of the dress.

Brazil, which won the World Cups in 1958, 1962 and 1970, also managed to keep the Remit Cup in Brazil. Zagaro played as a player at the 1958 Fifacé in Sweden and the 1962 FIFA World Cup in Chile, and in 1970 led Brazil to the World Cup in Mexico as head coach.

Zagaro not only witnessed Brazil's treble that year, but also won the championship with Brazil for the fourth time as a member of the coaching staff at the 1994 World Cup. Therefore, the Brazilian Football Association believes that it is most appropriate for him to endorse the new version of the shirt.

Brazil's next two matches were home games against Venezuela on the 13th and away games against Uruguay on the 17th.

Real Madrid player Vinicius Junier, who was called up to the national team for the two qualifiers, said: "I know that wearing this shirt represents responsibility, represents the country. I am very happy to be able to help my country in this way. Although I haven't seen Zagaro play with my own eyes, I know his story and his importance to Brazil. (End)
