Djalma Santos – A Brazilian Icon Returns in PES 2021
Djalma Pereira Dias dos Santos, better known simply as Djalma Santos, is regarded as one of the greatest full-backs in football history. Known for his composure, defensive brilliance, and occasional attacking flair, he starred for Brazil across four World Cups (1954, 1958, 1962, 1966) and lifted the trophy twice.
⚽ Why Djalma Santos Makes a Great Classic Edit
In PES 2021, recreating legends is one of the most rewarding parts. For Djalma Santos, the goal is to capture his balance: an elite defender who could also help build attacks from the back. While full-backs in his era were more reserved, Djalma often moved forward, displayed crisp passing, and showed tactical intelligence.
Using the Edit Mode, you can adjust his face, hair, and stats to reflect the legendary version — the calmness, strength, anticipation, and defensive discipline are key traits to emphasize.
🎮 Suggested PES 2021 Settings & Build
Here’s a recommended setup for your Djalma Santos edit in PES 2021:
- Position: RWB / RB (Right Back / Right Wing Back)
- Key Attributes: Stamina, Jump, Defense, Physical Contact
This blend gives him the solidity of a top defender with just enough passing and movement to support attacks — while still feeling true to his historic style.

🏆 Legacy & Why Fans Love Classic Edits
Djalma Santos played over 900 club matches and made 98 official international appearances for Brazil between 1952 and 1968. He never received a red card in his entire career, showing not only skill but discipline.
He was named in the FIFA World Cup All-Star teams in 1954, 1958 and 1962, and is often compared with the modern greats of his position. Editing him in PES gives fans a chance to bring back a defender who combined elegance with strength, and fairness with impact.
