Pele had nothing on Maradona. Pele never played in the tough European leagues like Diego did.

​@@michaelwollner3940 but three world Cup is not joke

@@michaelwollner3940 back in Pele's day any European league was much less competitive than the Brazilian league was...the era of players not playing club in their home country came after. At Pele's time the Brazilian domestic league was the most competitive in the world.

You are really joking ? Have you ever been in stadium to see the players playing in the field ? I guess never.Just watching the players through the screens .

@@hocinimahmoud6682 What are you talking about. What part is joking

In the 1958 world cup, Pele was 17 yrs old and playing in a team that was dominating. His goals came in the sf and final when Brazil was winning comfortably and the demoralised opposition didnt want to mark a 17 yr old. But what happened in the next 12 years is grossly misunderstood. Against popular belief, Pele actually didnt have much of an impact on international football. He got injured in the first game in 1962 world cup and didnt play the rest of the games. Brazil won the world cup without him, just goes to show that that Brazilian team was special and Pele just benefited from playing alongside great players. Then in 1966 world cup, Brazil got eliminated at the group stage. Yes the great Pele couldnt even get his national team to clear the group stage. After 1966, Pele dejected at not being able to replicate his (fortuitous) heroics of 1958 decided to retire. Then in 1970, when Pele saw that Brazil had again managed to build a great team consisting of the Jairzinho, Tostao, Rivelino and Gerson, he jumped at the opportunity and joined the national team again. In 1970, he scored goals against relatively weaker teams like Romania and Czech and then didnt do anything in the crucial KO matches. People unnecessarily hyped his every move like the famous rounding the keeper in the sf where instead of scoring an easy goal he tried to outsmart the keeper and ended up missing an open goal. It was the other attacking players mentioned abovewho dragged Brazil to the final. And then in the final like his protegee Ronaldo, he scored an easy tapin from 2 yards (notice how the defender marking him didnt even jump). Brazil won that game 4-1, I urge you to watch the other goals in that match, specially the screamer from outside the box and you'll realize how Pele again hogged the limelight for nothing (just like Ronaldo would RM while Ramos, Bale scored crucial, classier goals). So to summarize, Pele got lucky in the 1958 world cup, didnt do anything for the next 12 years (supposedly his prime) and then played in a great Brazilian team in 1970 and hogged the limelight. If he is regarded as the GOAT by some for these world cup wins, people need to check their facts.

@@abeydelhihai4949 Pele at the young age of 17 (just a kid) SCORED 6 GOALS in the 1958 world cup. He played a HUGE part in Brazil's victory. He netted 12 goals at the FIFA World Cup across Sweden 1958, Chile 1962 and Mexico 1970. He did play 2 matches in the 1962 world cup (and scored when he played in the first game) but got seriously injured in the game against Czechoslovakia. Do your own research. All this info is on Google and is free. 👍

Do familer with football. Who can scored a goal by taking the ball from own box to opponent box and scored a goal? 🤦‍♂️

I agree. However, based on Pelé' s career as a soccer player, as of this present time, there is no one else who has performed superbly to be comparable to Pelé. That is why, Pelé is still the King of Soccer!

this was near the end of his international playing days. one game don't make you Goat yet this what they are saying about messi

What an unintelligent comment!

The greatest team ever and the greatest player of all time

Aswerrr

I can't imagine. Very low quality football..

The more things change the more they remain the same. Another generation 80years from today will look at ours and say the same thing . Those were the best 11 in respective countries regardless of era. Your talking as if you could have been able to play in that era

@@Delawiz You are right bro. But we can only look at it through the lenses of this ero. We can’t go back in time. Let’s live our times and allow those to come live theirs.. The quality of this football is incredibly low bro.. How better can we be objective?

*era

You do it stupid

It’s was the final ! Pele ; Rivellino & Co. They had excellent free kicks … search

there was humidity , but Pele and Rivelino were the best in the world in free-kicks , ball not like now, but it was a ball made of leather.

Cause they simple kicking too hard with power

@@kalell11 the ball from 1970 was not leather lmao
