'''Thomaz Soares da Silva''', also known as '''Zizinho''' ({{IPA|pt|ziˈzĩɲu}}; 14 September 1921 &ndash; 8 February 2002), was a Brazilian [[association football|footballer]] who played as an [[attacking midfielder]] for the [[Brazil national football team]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.world-football-legends.co.uk/index.php/bra/68-zizinho |title=World Football Legends - Zizinho (1921-2002) |newspaper=World-football-legends.co.uk |access-date= 27 May 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2005/aug/16/guardianobituaries.football |title=Obituary: Jair da Rosa Pinto |newspaper=The Guardian |date=16 August 2005 |access-date= 27 May 2016}}</ref> He came to international prominence at the [[1950 FIFA World Cup|1950 World Cup]], where he scored two goals. He was lauded as a complete player, with an array of offensive skills such as his [[Dribbling#Association football|dribbling]], passing, and shooting ability with both feet, as well as his accuracy from [[Direct free kick|dead ball]] situations and extraordinary vision. He was [[Pelé]]'s idol,<ref name="Pelé"/> and is often considered one of the best Brazilian men's footballers of the pre-Pelé era.

==Career==
Born at [[Niterói]], [[Rio de Janeiro]], he played for [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo|Flamengo]], [[Bangu Atlético Clube|Bangu]], [[São Paulo Futebol Clube|São Paulo FC]], [[Audax Italiano]] of [[Chile]] among others teams. He is considered the first idol of Flamengo, club that he defended - winning the state championships in 1942, 1943 and 1944 - until he was transferred just before the start of 1950 World Cup to Bangu. In São Paulo he won the state championship in 1957 being extremely important and becoming an idol.

In the [[1950 FIFA World Cup|1950 World Cup]] he helped Brazil to progress to the final, but [[Uruguay v Brazil (1950 FIFA World Cup)|their surprise 2–1 defeat]] to [[Uruguay national football team|Uruguay]] tarnished his reputation. Zizinho played a total of 53 times for his national team, scoring 30 goals. He turned down last minute invitations by the [[Brazilian Football Confederation|CBF]] to join first the [[1954 FIFA World Cup squads#Brazil|1954 World Cup Squad]] and then the [[1958 FIFA World Cup squads#Brazil|1958 squad]], citing on both occasions that it would be unfair on the player being dropped at the last minute to make way for him.

[[Pelé]] always said that Zizinho was the best player he ever saw. "He was a complete player. He played in midfield, in attack, he scored goals, he could mark, head and cross."<ref>{{Citation |url=https://www.theguardian.com/Archive/Article/0,4273,4354263,00.html |title=Obituary: Zizinho |newspaper=The Guardian |date=12 February 2002 |first=Alex |last=Bellos }}</ref>
