Dario José dos Santos , called Dario or Dadá Maravilha , (born March 4, 1946 in Rio de Janeiro ) is a former Brazilian soccer player .
Life
After Arthur Friedenreich with 1,329 goals, Pelé with 1,284 goals and Romário with 1002 goals scored, Dario ranks fourth on the Brazilian top scorer list with 926 goals. At the 1970 World Cup in Mexico , he was under coach Mário Zagallo to the squad of the Brazilian national team , which won their third world title. But it wasn't even used. The “technically absolutely un-Brazilian, but immensely popular and especially strong header with his square feet” is said to have owed this appointment to the explicit advocacy of the then military dictator, President Emílio Médici, towards Zagallo. The non-nomination by Zagallo's predecessor João Saldanha is said to have been one of the reasons for his dismissal.
Dario has earned a total of 21 national titles, including world titles, in his long career. He played for the following clubs, among others:
- Campo Grande (youth team): 1965–1967
- Campo Grande : 1967–1968 (22 goals)
- Atlético Mineiro : 1968–1972 (124 goals)
- Flamengo Rio de Janeiro : 1973–1974 (34 goals)
- Atlético Mineiro: 1974
- Sport Recife : 1975 (94 goals)
- Atlético Mineiro: 1979–1980 (64 goals)
The nickname Dadá Maravilha (" Dadá , the miracle") arose from his predilection for aphorisms that the self-confident dos Santos regularly proclaimed in public and in which God and Dadá very often appeared side by side, as well as the fact that he "gave his fools poetic names even if he hadn't achieved it himself ”.
After his career, Dario worked as a sports commentator for various Brazilian TV channels.
