Soccernostalgia Talk Podcast-Episode 268 (Interview with Brazilian Journalist José Inácio Werneck, Brazil National Team in the1990 World Cup)

 This is the 268^th episode of my podcast, 'Soccernostalgia Talk Podcast’.

For this episode, I interview Brazilian Journalist Mr. José Inácio Werneck as we discuss the Brazil National Team of the 1990 World Cup.

Mr. Werneck is a Journalist, Lawyer, Interpreter, Translator, writer and a Triathlete.

 

Mr. Werneck wrote a book ‘Caminho do Mar’, with the 1978 World Cup as a backdrop, this book was translated in English as ‘Call of the Sea’.

Other books include:

Com Esperança no Coração: Os Emigrantes Brasileiros nos Estados (2004)

Assassinato no Campo de Golfe (Em Portugues do Brasil) (2019)

Sabor de mar (Portuguese Edition) (2023)

 

Just to bring to your attention, I have already in the past done a podcast of Brazil in the 1990 World Cup with Mr. Stanley Cunha. However, since I have been doing podcasts on Brazil’s every World Cup since 1958 with Mr. Werneck, I wanted to have this discussion with him as well and have his unique perspective, to maintain continuity.
