I decided to translate this post about Esporte Clube Bahia. For those who do not know Bahia, it is a traditional Brazilian soccer club from Salvador (in the state of Bahia) that play their home games in the “Arena Fonte Nova” (hosted several 2014 World Cup games) and that have won two times the Brazilian Championship, in 1959 (beating Pele’s Santos) and 1988. The team has some nicknames like “Esquadrão de Aço (steel squadron) and Tricolor. Anyway, let’s move to the original post.
I am a Esporte Clube Bahia supporter and a football history fan. Because of that, initially I decided to make an all-time Bahia XI with its best players ever. However, since I could not pick only 11, I decided to make a squad with 27 players. Nonetheless, even that number was not enough, and, because of some manu unforgetable athletes, I ended up making a list with the 125 greatest footballers in the history of the “Tricolor”: 27 in the main squand and 98 in the “honorable mentions” section.
I chose as criteria of chice the performance of the player and his importance in the main titles of the club and not just his talent and “name” in football. Thus, great names of the sport like Daniel Alves and Rodolfo Rodrigues, because of the small period that they have played for the “Esquadrão”, will not be in the main squad, despite being more talented and greater in the history of the sport than others there.
I hope this list helps younger fans to know a little bit about the great players who have worn the club’s jersey.
Let us go then to the all-time XI, squad and the complete list with the 125 players.
Note: List now with 140 players updated in 08/02/2021. It will not longer be updated.
