Origin
and identity

Ricardo Garcia supplied the fast, varied setting behind Brazil's celebrated attacking combinations.

Often known as Ricardinho, he organized play during Brazil's 2002 world championship and Athens Olympic success. His distribution made the opposition defend several threats at once.

A second world title in 2006 reinforced the importance of that partnership with Brazil's hitters. His archive entry focuses on completed championship campaigns rather than a changing career tally.
