The 1950 Maracanazo: Memories from Brazil and Uruguay
4 min Machine translated Filmed in Niterói, Brazil
I left the stadium alone, on foot. I've lived here, in Niterói, all my life. And even today, I don't remember how I got home.
I was walking down the street and ran into people showing their solidarity, telling me to walk with my head held high, because they knew there was nothing we could have done.
However, it was the press that spread the negative comments. They were the cause of all the problems. When the World Cup is on, I don't answer the phone. I have a code with my friends.
They let the phone ring twice, then they hang up and call back.
Otherwise, I don't answer. All of Brazil wants to ask how we lost that World Cup.
It's always the same. A friend of mine wrote a book called" Anatomy of a Match", which is about a single match: the match against Uruguay.
Our match finished at a quarter to five. We… uh, we did the victory lap, received the cup, and went, we went to the locker rooms. We stayed until 8: 00 p.m. before leaving, because we didn't know what could happen, right? At 8: 00 p.m. it was, it was already dark, um… and we left and went to the hotel. Nothing happened,
we went quietly to the hotel. And at the hotel, we had dinner there…
and that was the 16th. On the 17th we had to be in Rio, but we only came back on the 18th. Um…
and we didn't know whether to go out or not, because of, because of the reaction of, of the public. And… so we decided to go out. We made groups of four or five and went out. And on the contrary, look, I was, I was delighted with,
with the Brazilian public because… They knew us, that we were the, the ones who had been the world champions, and they greeted us, they congratulated us. A very, very nice gesture from the Brazilian crowd.

Original transcript (Spanish)
Me marché solo del estadio, andando. He vivido aquí, en Niterói, toda mi vida.
Y aún hoy no recuerdo cómo llegué a casa.
Iba por la calle y me cruzaba con gente que me demostraba su solidaridad, diciéndome que caminara con la frente bien alta, porque sabían que no habíamos podido hacer nada.
Sin embargo, fue la prensa la encargada de divulgar comentarios negativos.
Fueron los causantes de todos los problemas.
Cuando se juega la Copa del Mundo, no contesto el teléfono.
Mantengo un código con mis amigos. Dejan sonar dos veces el teléfono, luego cuelgan y vuelven a llamar.
De lo contrario, no contesto. Todo Brasil quiere preguntar cómo perdimos esa Copa del Mundo.
Siempre ocurre lo mismo. Un amigo mío escribió un libro titulado "Anatomía de un partido", que trata sobre un solo partido: el partido contra Uruguay.
Nuestro partido terminó cinco menos cuarto. Nosotros... eh, dimos la vuelta olímpica, recibimos la copa y fuimos, fuimos para los vestuarios.
Estuvimos hasta las ocho de la noche para salir, porque no sabíamos qué podía pasar, ¿no?
A las ocho de la noche ya era, era de noche ya, este... y salimos y fuimos hacia el hotel.
No pasó nada, tranquilo al hotel. Y en el hotel cenamos ahí... y era el 16. El 17 tuvimos que estar en Río, pero nosotros nos vinimos el 18 recién.
Este... y no sabíamos si salir o no salir, por, por la reacción de, de del público.
Y... entonces decidimos salir. Hicimos grupos de cuatro o cinco y salimos.
Y al contrario, mira, yo quedé, quedé encantado con, con el público brasileño porque... nos conocían, que éramos los, los que habíamos sido los campeones del mundo y nos saludaban, nos felicitaban.
Un gesto muy, muy lindo del público brasileño.
