The Last Year of Their Education

The Swedish striker had already made a name for himself internationally by scoring against Brazil in the 1958 World Cup final. Puskás lost 40 pounds in a month and a half and silenced his critics by averaging nearly every game until his retirement in 1967. That same summer, Bernabéu took a big gamble by signing Hungarian striker Ferenc Puskás. Still, the gamble paid off. Well, you're too old and you're not good enough. Didi also did not get along well with Di Stéfano. In his search for a new coach, Santiago Bernabéu initially had FC Barcelona coach Helenio Herrera in mind, but according to Di Stéfano he would not suit the club. There were no really big surprises among the dropouts, but more was expected from Hungary, Czechoslovakia, England and Argentina. West Germany, England, the Soviet Union and Hungary qualified again, Brazil and Czechoslovakia were eliminated by Portugal, Chile by North Korea, Yugoslavia was replaced by Argentina and Uruguay.

In a repeat of the final three years earlier, Di Stéfano scored another goal against Stade de Reims. Puskás accounted for four hits and Di Stéfano three. Di Stéfano continued to score regularly, but the Spanish top scorer title would go almost continuously to his teammate Puskás in the coming years. Puskás was already 31 years old and was quite overweight after being without a club for a year and a half. Muñoz saw that the aging Di Stéfano had to give up some of his speed every year and therefore placed him in midfield. The University of Bologna is older than that of Paris (Sorbonne).
