14:25 fun fact: Pele played 130 matches against European teams against the likes of Real Madrid, Barca, Juve, Inter, Benfica etc etc etc and scored 144 goals. Btw Pele also completely destroyed Beckenbauer in a 1v1, that clip was insane

I feel sorry for those who never saw Pelé playing. I did! Pelé wss an inspiration for the all good players that we see nowaday.

This is the real GOAT ! 4 world cup = 3 Wins. 17 years old hattrick in WC still nobody have done these things. He scored over 1k goals in his career also.... He beat up all European teams back in the days they did a tour every year in Europe. All respect for all other legends, but this man was something else ✨

People do Not accept. Pele is the GOAT! IN Europe, his team used to beat Madrid, Barcelona, Man United etc...

3:25 and don't forget how the defenders in his time were literally breaking your ankles and your legs and the injurie/recovery facility were so shit aswell. I've said it many times but if Pele played in this era with all the facilities, training and knowledge about the game footballers have now days Pele would've even be greater

Pelé was, is and will be always the god of football!

Pelé was the only citizen of the world! He could visit any country without a passport!

Pelé played in Europe. For Santos he played 130 games against European teams, and scored 134 goals. Just to mention a few FACTS: In 1959, playing in the Valencia Tournament against Inter Milan of Italy, at the age of 18, Santos won 7-1. 4 goals from Pelé. In the same year, in 1959, they faced Barcelona, ​​who had just won the Spanish Championship and the Copa del Rey. Santos won 5-1. Pelé scored 2 goals. In the 1962 Club World Cup (Intercontinental Cup), Santos faced Benfica, current champion of the European Champions League, and Eusebio's team. Santos won 5x2. 3 goals from Pelé.

I was a teenager when Pele came to the US to play for the New York Cosmos in the North American Soccer League (predecessor to MLS, 1968-1984). Pele played for the Cosmos for 3 seasons (1975, 1976, 1977), and I saw him play against the St. Louis Stars in 1977. Besides Pele, the Cosmos also had Georgio Chinaglia, Franz Beckenbauer and Carlos Alberto in their lineup. Regardless of the sport, each generation of players builds upon what the previous generation did.

Finally someome that really understands Pelé only few peoples knows, the rest is Messi kids thinking he is the goat😂

Pelé played with heavy balls, boots, he didn't see football matches, he listened to them on the radio, there was no KZfaq to be able to copy from other players and he was not protected as in the Messi era... Ronaldo true is superior to cr7 and Messi. Look at what zico was doing as well ...

Pele Was the first youngest world champion 16 years old this record was not broke into today pele was three-time world champion nobody achieve that, he's record 1266 goals on 1345 matches this record was never broke, pele stop war in Africa people stopped the war to see Pele play 1969 angola, one fact why pele never play in Europe was because he was declared national treasure from the Brazilian goverment could not be sold this is history then never happened for any player never

You more you learn about Pelé read, listen, looking at videos you understand more and can see the greatness ! I'm 34 and say he is the GOAT because I have in mind a vision when he use his skills in today and it would work today. That means something and look how fast, strong and his movement is perfect ! It's not just that...everybody wanted to defeat Santos back in the days and he have more goals than matches against eupropean teams...he destroy them all ! That's why he stayed in Santos ! To me that loyalty is 100% love.

As if my other comment weren't overkill... I enjoy your reactions immensely. Your knowledge of football, tactics, technique, etc is impressive - encyclopedic, even. I respect your insight and analysis immensely. And yet, you absolutely lost the plot with one of your final points. When you say, "I didn't see Pelé play live, but I did see Messi, therefore I have to say Messi is better", you show your hand. If you had said, "Messi is the best player I've ever seen in real time", I'd be with you. He's the best player whom anyone under 50 has ever seen in a live match. That doesn't make him the best ever. As for crediting subsequent players as more skilled for elaborating on tricks and techniques which Pelé (or Puskas, or Cruyff, or whoever) pioneered/invented, I find that argument equally weak. Is a physics professor at a modern university more of a genius than da Vinci or Newton or Leibnitz because he's learned of discoveries subsequent to their lifetimes? Of course not. Is a modern general greater than Ghengis Kahn, or Julius Caesar, or Alexander the Great or Miltiades, because his army can move faster and hit harder with modern firepower and mechanized equipment? Again, of course not. One should not defer automatically and unilaterally to an older person simply because he's older. But one should certainly assume that the older person has seen more and is likely to have broader knowledge. When you've been about long enough, you learn two things. First, you learn that your father was much smarter than you ever have him credit for being. Second, you learn that whatever you thought you knew to a moral certainty in youth, is not nearly as true as you once believed.

6:30... but it isn't just the skills, though. Like you said in the beginning of the video, Ronaldinho is arguably the most skillful player the game has ever produced but he was not consistent enough and didn't remain on top for a long period of time. Pele also has accomplishments. Shy of the Copa America, Pele won everything in his career. And for those who would argue Ballon D'ors, France football redid their Ballon D'ors from the its inception to when they allowed non-European players to win it and Pele won it a then-record 8 times. Won the world cup teice, techincally 3 times. Played against all European giants and put a whooping on them. The guy was unreal. He will remain the Greatest the sport has ever produced until further notice.

The minute this fellow mentioned Messi as his greatest ever player, it became clear to me that he doesn’t know what he was talking about. It’s best to take everything he has said with a pinch of salt. He was just giving his own opinion as he saw it.

BTW Pele was also able to play in GOALIE position, & he did professionally in Brazil for 8 full games and had NO goals scored - apparently he loved that position.

Pelé The king

Pelé is the GOAT, its not about who you saw bro, Pelé is the greatest for the same reason that Jordan and Muhammad Ali are the goats of their sports, they trancended their sports, Pele was named athlete of the 20th century above all these legends, he was named player of the 20th century by fifa over Maradona, Di stefano, Cruyff, Beckenbauer all the greats, Messi aint the best athlete of his generation... Pelé was honored in the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth and gained the title of Sir, he is way bigger and more important for football´s history based on legacy, Now if we talk about quality on the field, as you said, Pelé had everything, he had everything that Messi, Maradona, CR7, Ronaldo, Zidane had.... he is the best player of the biggest compatition World Cup, the only player who was crowned the king of this sport called football, he has the record for most career goals recognized by the Guinness Book, 1283 goals, In every FIFA award he was at he was called the greatest of all team in front of Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Zidane, Ronaldo, Messi, CR7... he was always recognized as the GOAT.

He was the greatest because he was doing modern moves since 1956. Waaay ahead of his time. He beat all the European teams of the time.

Its not just the pitch or the ball, but his foot wear aswell. In that time they were almost boots, and the player were a lot more agressive with one another, like there would be punches and kicks directly to the player and the referee would do nothing.

Haven’t watched the whole thing yet but I saw so happy to see this vid pop up when I was scrolling. I LOVE YOU BANGSO BEST ON PLATFORMMM

Di Stefano knew everything. Pele invented everything. Football is this magic you know today because of him. When Ronaldinho played for Barcelona 2004/2005, the people always watched and thougjt before the game "What will he do today?". That's what Pele always was: people from EVERY place of the world when was watching he playing got impressed by a knew dribbling, passing or magic play that was never seen before. That's why these new generation cannot know completly the great impact he did.

Pele actually was tested in Europe as Santos made milionaires tours across Europe and Pele destroyed them. And this irrelevant cause brazilian football in general was superior at that time. We won 3 out of 4 World Cups in that period. This clip is really good but there are others even better and more complete. Pele was the most complete player ever. Beside this skills, he dribbled and shot with both legs, head, he had free kicks, assists, and a beyond belief vision, and his athleticism is compared to CR7 wich is the highest level at nowadays in this matter. Pele was the ultimate football player.

🎵 DID YOU REALIZE 🤔 THAT YOU ARE A CHAMPION 🏆 IN THEIR EYES 👀 🎵

At that time the best South American players were in South America and Santos FC went on tours around Europe, there were several Santos games against Real Madrid, Liverpool, Benfica, Inter, Bayern, etc. So technically he played in Europe

Great React Bruv!

While I won't argue your good points I will say that I think Pele is the GOAT for two reasons. 1) when he developed these moves that you're marvelling at, there was no one to teach him. He figured it out himself and did it first. 2) He won 5 world cups. No one has come close. Messi, arguably the greatest [layer of this generation finally one his first and Ronaldo still hasn'ettaken Portugal to the title

During the time of Pele Brazil won three out of four world cups. The only time a European team won was in 1966 when Pele was attacked like crazy. The majority of all Brazilians played in Brazil. That would suggest they had the best league in the world. Also he did actually play against European teams in friendlies. They were going full out and still he scored a ridiculous amount of goals against them.

4:26 "He left the ball!" Yeah, that's crazy

Much love bruh…Fanendo Adi and Diego Valeri made the Timbers a powerhouse…I recommend their legendary highlights 🤙

You should react to ‘Pelé - Magic Skills’ amazing video! i highly recommend it Keep up the good work bro, I like your channel!

Pelé king ⚽️🌎 🌟⚽️

I enjoy watching your reactions. Your knowledge is good bro.

European football is strong now, in the past it didn't have this strength like it does today! At that time football was not as globalized as it is today!

He should watch and react to "Pelé era el futuro" video here. It's more complete. And about defenders, at the time there was no red or yellow cards, so Pelé was hunted during the matches. And last: Pelé won 3 World Cups where all the brazilian players played in brazilians teams. That's shows you how strong was Brazilian football back in the days. Vasco da Gama, brazilian team, in 1957 beated Real Madrid (4x2) that just won the Champions of the time, and days later scored 7x2 against Barcelona. That's how good the teams were In Brazil.

You started the video saying that Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are better than Ronaldinho Gaúcho, due to the longevity of their careers. Taking this criterion as a principle for defining the best player in the world, there has never been a better player than Pelé and add to this the world titles he won, three in total, and also the number of goals scored. In his entire career, 1283 goals in 1363 games!

Were defenders at that time inferior? Ok, look at the videos of the Brazilian, German and Italian teams in the 70s, for example!

Im sorry bro, My father played football in the same time that Pelé plaied, and my father was defencer, and Belive me, today He is old can plaied with young people and put them in your feet.

Eleito o Atleta do Século XX... entre todas as modalidades esportivas do mundo

Maradonna isn’t close to Peles level. His biggest goal shouldn’t have ever counted dude punched the ball. Pele would never cheat like that to win either he didn’t have to.

Nice video if you remember this is H.Freed but i have a new logo and name ❤

Minuto 12' 39" segundos, drible que só Pelé fez , ou seja ele usava o corpo do seu marcador ,jogador adversário como parede para a bola retornar à ele Pelé e depois progredir com jogada.

pelé domain all in futebol uiniverse forever

Yes you could say they learned from legends like pele and maradona and may be quite possibly perfected the skills but they didn't change the game pele and maradona changed how the game is played and How players attack so because of what tgey brought to the table the new ideas and creativity is far far greater than players who what them and perfect their ideas.... that's the difference between those who set trends and those who follow them...pele was a trend setter in the sense of his his innovation on the pitch....

Cristiano e Messi.. estao bem abaixo do Bruxo.. 1 ano do bruxo vale a carreira toda deles.... Messi e cristiano precisam de alguem para jogar ao lado...Ronaldinho jogava sozinho dd boa

Messi não jogou com os materiais pesados que o Pelé jogou. Não jogou nos gramados horríveis que se jogava antigamente. Não levou 20% das pancadas que Pelé aguentou, porque antes não havia a aplicação de cartões por muito tempo e nem o número de câmeras que existem hoje em todos os lugares para ver tudo. Para ee ter o domínio de bola que o Pelé tinha com estes materiais e nestes gramados, tem que ter uma genialidade e capacidade de controle, calculos e domínio de bola extraordinários. Messi é um grande jogador, mas sem todas estas condições favoráveis e também jogando num dos campeonatos mais fáceis do planeta, onde até pouco tempo atrás só haviam 2 clubes competitivos e às vezes, raramente, o Athletico também, dificilmente chegaria ao patamar que chegou. Tanto que pela seleção sempre teve ao lado excelentes jogadores, mas conseguiu nunca tinha ganhado praticamente nada, até que colocassem a copa América todos os anos até ele ganhar e deram de presente uma copa do mundo pra ele das mais roubadas que já existiu, sem contar nos prêmios ridículos que ganhou sem merecer, como o de melhor jogador do mundo fifa este ano e outros também.

O santos foi o maior time do mundo com Pelé e companhia e no brasil existiam os melhores do mundo que na época jogavam aqui mesmo o futebol europeu nao tinha a superioridade de hj e Pelé teve muitos jogos com times do mundo inteiro e nas copas do mundo que conquistou vc nao pode dizer que nao foi testado.vc nasceu em um mundo ja pronto e negar o passado sem ouvir quem conheceu de fato o mesmo é uma limitação absurda e sua perspectiva atual muito limitada.

Pelé was THE GREATEST AND THE BEST, technically speaking. For sure Ronaldinho is pure fun, a joy to see him... he's from Garrincha's branch of football, such as Maradona: it's other department. These are fantasistas, amusement players - with no intent to diminish anyone here. The thing is Pelé was also as much talented as any of those. There's no such thing as "they took it to the next level". Pelé made the level... and no one reached it 'til this day. No catch up registered yet.

Can you do seattle-portland if u got time?

PELE MAIORDE TODOS

O Pelé simplesmente humilhava ás seleções Europeias nas Copas do mundo, imagina o ele faria com os clubes Europeus...faria, não. Ele também humilhava os clubes europeus, cara!!! 😂

And more: Brazil wasn't inferior to Europe in that period: they won 3 of 4 world cup. The best players was playing in Brazil's championship. And today believe me: there's no european team who can win a Libertadores. You just don''t play at Bombonera, Maracanã or some south american stadium without the fear of someone kill you. Vasco x Barcelona of Guayaquil in 1998 the brazilian team couldn't sleep the night before the game: there were fireworks the whole night in the front of the hotel and some people shouting with machine guns. How can Haalaand play in Potosi in 4.090 m high? The Brazilian teams needed oxygen masks ot play there and there was a time FIFA banned games around there.

3rd early again😂

With all respect for Messi, he is absolutely *NOT* the greatest player ever. That title belongs to Edson Arantes do Nasciemento, AKA Pelé. He's criticized because he didn't play in Europe. Here's a newsflash: in his day, the best players and club teams were South American. Santos, Palmeira, Flamenco, Boca Juniors, River Plate, Universitario, Nacional, etc were the Man City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, PSG, and Inter Milan of that age. International transfers were rare at the time and intercontinental transfers were nearly unheard of. Pelé played his club football against the best talent on the planet - and he dominated. Nearly 500 of his career goals don't count for his official career total because they occured during so-called barn-storming matches. "They shouldn't count because he was playing against farmers!" goes the common criticism. Wrong. Most of those goals were scored against the best of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Because football wasn't yet truly interconnected globally. There was no satellite television, no Internet, no 24 hour sports programming. Globetrotting tours were the only way to showcase his brilliance to a larger audience. With those goals added to his tally, he outscored both Messi and Ronaldo by several hundred. Pelé achieved his fame - and make no mistake, he was bigger than Messi in the global consciousness - without social media and without global broadcasting. His name and face were more recognizable as a brand than Coca Cola and Disney. Kings, queens, Popes, and presidents rearranged their schedules just to shake his hand. His presence guaranteed a cease fire during an African civil war so that soldiers from both sides could watch him play. He was the best player on the best team ever assembled - 1970 Brazil (which marked his *THIRD* World Cup). And his team didn't need to be awarded 7 penalties in the tournament in order to win. He invented the concept of product placement marketing with Puma. It was the first globally broadcast World Cup in color. Knowing that attention would be focused on him, he deliberately stopped to tie his laces very slowly, as cameras zoomed in on his boots. Both Puma and Pelé made millions as a result. He starred in a Hollywood film, Escape to Victory. Pelé's shoulders carry today's greats. That doesn't mean that Messi, Ronaldo, Zidane, Haaland, Salah, Kane, et al aren't great. It doesn't mean that Messi isn't by far the greatest of his generation. But, it does mean that they walked in the footsteps of the true King. Finally, he had a twenty year career *without* the benefit of three generations of medical and training advancement. Show some respect, youngsters.

Parabéns pelo vídeo .Mas se vc escolher o maior jogador com a limitação de tempo de ter visto vc está sendo limitado e ignora o que veio antes. Messi só e melhor para quem não viu Maradona e este para quem não viu Pelé. A seleção brasileira campeã em 70 do mundo todos jogavam no Brasil e sim possuímos os melhores ,e Pelé ganhou 2 intercontinentais pelo santos contra os europeus e jogou inúmeros jogos pelo mundo contra europeus .A criatividade deste jogador e execussão são as maiores do mundo inegavelmente.Tem imagens dele como goleiro na internet o homen foi completo mesmo .sua análise e a mesma de nós considerarmos mais inteligentes que Platão,aristoles apenas por estarmos no ano 2024.Esses caras estão muito a nossa frente assim como está Pelé para Messi ,Maradona ,CR7 etc ...Abraço .

Calling people who have never seen Pele playing and still think he is the greatest ignorant just showed me your poor mentality and judgment capability. Another thing that scares me about this generation is underestimating the capacity to invent instead of copy. I didn't see: Pele playing Michelangelo painting Shakespeare writing and I could go on and on on this list... But I know they are geniuses. The only thing new-generation players have better than Pele is media coverage. If Pele had 4K images in his time, we wouldn't been having this discussion. Pele is the greatest of all times!!!

Fun fact; pele actually played as a goalkeeper at least 4 times for Santos, in his career. Apparently he had a clean sheet in all those games. By the way, i agree with you that pele didnt really invent all these skills in the video but i think he was maybe the first total fotballer, at least on the global stage, so you are right about that. Also, i agree with you that even though pele did those skills a long time ago, doesnt mean that modern footballers cant expand on these skills. Im a messi fan and i have seen messi play at the camp nou in Barcelona with my own eyes, and for me Messi will always be the best, at least in my lifetime, but either way i dont think it is good to compare players from different eras but rather appreciate them in their own era.💯🔟✌️🇧🇷🇦🇷

You should watch How Messi dominates MLS by MagicalMessi! You've already reacted to a vid from them before they're top class

go and check the stats. Pele had better stats than messi and ronaldo.

I understand that you never saw Pelé playing and has problem in believing that he was the greatest....but you see...there are people who saw him playing and also saw all the players after him (and in the present time): THEY ALL SAY THAT PELÉ WAS STILL THE GREATEST! So...they have more info than you, because they saw what you didn't and saw what you saw as well! Trust me....PELÉ WAS NOT HUMAN! Another thing...you say that Europe is the most competitive in Football....again...you miss the historical context.....back in the day Europe couldn't have all the best players from other continents....so....the south American leagues were WAY STRONGER than they are today....the best players didn't leave to Europe....so....it wasn't easy as you say...you young children really have to learn to study HISTORY! So you wouldn't commit ANACRONISM! You just keep commiting it...During Pelé's time there wasn't yellow and red card...so the defenders could use all the violence they wanted....they literally took Pelé out of 2 world cups injuring him because they couldn't stop him...nowadays if they touch Messi & Cia they would get expelled of the game.

All due respect to Pele, those aren't all the same moves.

Pelé é o rei.

I only said this, Pele at 17 years old was world champion in 1958,62 and 1970,he kicked whit both legs, he jump like a basketball player, he make more the 1000 goals, tell me guys who did better of Pele,!!!! 3 worlds cups!!! No messi, no maradona, nobody, only Pele, never put Pele and compair whit the others, for people who saw play Pele can understand, he was the other planet
