Here is a fun fact for so you understand what he was for the people around the world. His club Santos (brazil) made friendlies all around the world so everbody could watch him play. Once they made a match in nigeria, at this time there was a civil war in nigeria and they interrupt the war for few days so everybody could watch him play football in peace. I think this is amazing because it shows what an effect sport can have.
Bigger tham pope at the time!
he was also a symbol in Brazil. The government pulled him to the army so that more people could enlist. Pele was special
Pelé won his first world cup at age 17 in 1958, scoring a hat-trick in the semifinals and 2 goals in the final. The only person to win the World Cup 3 times (1958, 1962, 1970). A legend!! Greatest of all-times.
Pele would have been awarded at least 9 Ballon D'Or if the award existed in his time.
@@pedrobossio5440 France Football did a review, Pelé get 7x, Maradona 2x, Garrincha 1x, Zico 1x, Romário 1x.
*as a player. Because Zagallo, for example, won 4 times, two as a player, one as coach and one as coaching staff
In 1958 Just Fontaine scored 13 goals, and the 3 Cups were a team achievement. Pelé was the best player but his team was also hugely stacked by that period's standards.
Not saying he isn't the greatest, just giving the due context.
Stop giving Pele credit for all the WCs.
In 1958, Pele was one of the best players of the tournament but not the best player.
Fontaine and Didi was the best players and then came Pele at number 3. Pele was important for Brazils triumph but Didi was the best Brazilian in that tournament.
In WC 1962, Pele had no contribution. He got injured at the start of the tournament. Garrincha is the one who led Brazil to glory.
In WC 1970, Pele was amazing and he deserves credit for that. He was the best player of the tournament.
Coming from a small village in rural Germany, have never been a soccer fan, but even as a little girl in the 80s, I knew who Pelé was. The man is a legend EVERYWHERE! 😃
Nice, thanks for sharing.
Pele did it back in the day when defenders could get away with murder. Skilful players are much more protected today by stricter rules, better referees and camera replays. Pele had to overcome enormous physical challenges and thuggery unknown to Messi and Ronaldo. Legend.
So did Maradona. Especially when he got to Europe. Remember he was very much an outsider in Italy early on and everyone knows how physical they were towards the Indio. Pele is the GOAT but close second is Maradona and I think if he had decided not to party hard with mobsters and done all the coke we would be saying he is the GOAT. We all make our choices and Maradona made his. Pele as a human being I can say is the most humble pro I have ever met.
@@mesi0r
From your comment I can tell you know absolutely nothing about the sport. Pele is the most humble guy you will meet. Not to many all time greats have that capability along with the grace he carries well.
As for your comment the soccer players are not better today. The play style is different. It’s nowhere near as physical nor is it as cerebral either. Pele and Maradona could play today and dominate. Maradona would do it coked up. Not only that the proof is the team he was on in Napoli. The bottom of the barrel. Messi never done that as all his teams had great supporting casts. Messi ain’t in the same league as a Pele or a Maradona. He might be third on the list but that is a distant third.
@@Kalmar917 from your comment i can tell you know absolutely nothing about the sport. In addition you're super naive if you think football was on even close level to what we have today. Both of them were outstanding for their times and Maradona could actually destroy out of the box if played today. Pele would be just good and would have to adapt to be top but that is what we will never know if he would be able to do that . Defenders back then were like sticks on the field.
@@mesi0r Clearly you are the one that knows nothing about it. You called Pele cocky, if you ever saw Pele speaking you would know that is not true at all, he is humble and caring about the sport and the people playing it. He learned to play the game with a ball made of socks and the support he had was precarious to say the least, yet he pulled plays that are the inspiration to all the ones you call GOAT today, it is easier to pull this plays today since in his time the defenders would try to murder him, now days if someone even threatens to get close to a player he is rolling on the ground calling fault, Pele would get whacked, tumble down, get back on his feet without ever loosing the ball.
His entire carrier he would battle injuries and still be playing when much more violence was allowed and the sport medicine was much worse. So much so that when he retired the created camps to teach young players and one of his main focus on those camps is how to prepare yourself well physically to minimize injuries, in fact many of the modern players enjoy the benefit of the infrastructure and training philosophy Pele did setup, thanks to him thousands of boys in Brazil benefit from modernized training and preparation every year, it is almost certain that anyone you call GOAT coming from Brazil is the product of Pele's training camps.
@@Kalmar917 I'm more inclined to say O Phenomeno Ronald or Romario ...but Messi is legendary. I also include Ronaldinho in there.... With Zindane,
Rei Pelé, sem dúvida o maior jogador de todos os tempos. Jamais existirá outro igual!
Pele could kick 70 yard field goals at age 50....The man was AMAZING!!!
Pele set the standard for modern soccer players
@@samy-yamum yes , Pelé king futtebol 👊🏻👊🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷👊🏻👊🏻
@@samy-yamum Pelé separou o futebol em eras
Existe o futebol antes de Pelé e Futebol depois de Pelé
@@samy-yamum nah pele did. The original comment says “players” he had moves in his calibre that were popularised almost 50 years later but he had them already
@@samy-yamum Cruyff did it just in the tactic matter. Pele did it in skills and phisical matter, that is for sure.
Absolutely 100% sure. Pele was a pioneer. A visionary like Michelangelo and Mozart. A one of a kind.
He brought the jogo bonito to the world, that's why Brazilians have this unique game
He made it popular (but the beautiful game is in brazilian's DNA)....Like Bob Marley did for the Reggae.
@@Gabrielnobre But Pelé perfected the "jogo bonito". Nobody did it better than him.
@@unclegold6730Nobody can say that he "perfected" it because we don't know how people played in the Streets back then....but for sure he made the "jogo bonito" (beautiful game) popular, he was the first doing it on film.
@@Gabrielnobre So based on your belief, we could not celebrate as a pioneer any person in any activity. Reason for this: Maybe someone, who nobody even knows existed, may have done the same thing before in his backyard^^. This argument of yours to try to refute the importance of Pelé in football is laughable. Look here, I saw Pelé play. I tell you that I was impressed by several footballers. I've seen Zico, Tostão, Beckenbauer, Maradona, Romario and Ronaldo Phenom. I've seen Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo play on TV, and none of them did as a youth what Pele did. All of these were exceptional, and some like Ronaldinho and Maradona produced magic on the field. However, no player to date has been as complete as Pelé was. Pelé changed football forever, period. See statements from former stars who faced him. Right here on RUclips, there are dozens of statements from former English, Italian, Spanish and South American players placing him as a unique being. There are even Argentine players, who declare it impossible to put Messi or Maradona on the same level as Pelé. Pelé left people speechless with new moves, with masterful touches, and even better, with genius non-touches almost every time he entered the pitch. Just see Pelé playing at just 17 years old in a world cup away from his country. Watch his play against Wales. watch the video of the Welsh player who was dribbled talking about that move. Look, I'm not referring to you, but there are people, and some of them, incredible as it may seem, are Brazilian, who seem to live to try to diminish the legacy that Pelé left for the world. Trying to deny King Pele's grandeur amounts to a case of intellectual dishonesty.

GOAT!!!
Hi is the King. That's the right term for Pelé.
footballl
What the hell is sucker? Is it a sport?
So glad ya'll checked Pele out. He could run 100 meters in 11 seconds & could jump 6 feet high. Such an amazing athlete.
@@fishtailfuture Buddy? I am a woman.. I was simply stating stats I read online :
Pele can run 100 meters in 11 seconds and jump almost 6 feet high. He jumps earlier than other players to head the ball because he has the ability to hover longer in the air.Jun 10, 1975
Sport: Association football
You, sir, are rather rude & maybe YOU should check your facts. Regards, Miss Lincoln
@@terilynnelincoln3247 fair enough. Just FYI. Old running times from back then are always inflated. Not accurate. That time isn't much behind the current WW. And Jump 6' high doesn't really make any sense. He doesn't obviously have a 6' vertical. and a 6' High jump over a pole (Olympic style) Just isn't really impressive. I could do better in Jr high for instance. So it leads me to think its an attempt to like about his vertical.
Anyways. not blaming you but that info is incorrect. good day.
@@fishtailfuture Btw 1 second difference (for ex 10s instead of 11s or 8 instead of 9,43)is still 20-30 years away maybe 40 with advanced training and steroids.You cant just jump from 11 to 10 and from 10 to 9.Jesse owens ran 100m in 10,3 sec in 1936.Pele playing in the 60s and doing 11s isnt crazy at all.the olympic gold medalist did 10,3s 34 years after owens,proving how hard it is to break the record and how far away pele was from an olympian in the 60s let alone now lol
@@newchannel416
I'm almost 100% positive it said originally 100 m in 10 seconds. I believe it was edited. And as you noticed the 6 foot jump thing was very unspecific and as I pointed out if it was a high jump not all that impressive really. A good athlete that's 5 foot eight like Pelee should easily be able to high jump 6 foot. I only commented because it seem to be a very unrealistic claim on one side and then a weird claim on the other. But either way they were just quoting something they read And I could've been wrong
@@fishtailfuture Pele was tested in brazil and the united states way past his prime and he reportedly had a 48 inch vertical, and could run 100m in 10.9 seconds in 1961.
Pele não é só o nosso jogador brasileiro, ele é patrimônio cultural do esporte mundial.
Ele trouxe o futebol para a América, foram 3 World Cup Fifa (1958, 1962, 1970) para o Brasil.
Disseminou o futebol nos EUA (COSMOS), parou guerras, foi condecorado cidadão inglês, marcou mais de 1200 gols.
Ele é um gênio, o rei. Ele é eterno.
I fully agree, pelé is a international sport icon 🇧🇷🕊 RIP PELÉ
Futebol Brasileiro chegou ao nível que eh Graças ao Pelé, Garrincha, Romário, R9, R10 entre outros.
The Man who created the bicycle shot was Leônidas da Silva aka the Black Diamond, great Brazilian layer
Imagine how heavy the ball was back then, it probably weighed twice as much as it does now! And their shoes did too! Pele was a work horse, he just got it done! He played in a time where money didn't buy or construct a great team! You were put on a team, and you just hope you have some good players on it!
The shirt, shoets and boots weighed three to four times more. Even more when wet. The ball weighed almost the same, but got heavier when wet, it absorbed water. Search for Bella Kona videos. He lays out the most complete set of evidence for Pele being the goat.
Exactly I agree. Today's fotball casuals annoy me with this thing. You'll ask them about the best players to ever play in their positions and you'll hear them say Casillias, Ramos, Marcelo, Modric, Kroos, Van der Sar, Scholes, Giggs, Rooney (teammates of Ronaldo) and Puyol, Dani Alves, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Neymar, Suarez, Eto'o, Henry, Ronaldinho (temmates of Messi). And then they'll tell you that Messi and Ronaldo are much more "proven" than older legends because they apparently play in a harder era. But almost their whole career they played in teams that look like World All Stars, and when they had teams a little below that level they couldn't really win the biggest prizes, did they?
@@aramskaef6955 It was much harder playing in Pele's time. No cards till 1970, fields full of potholes, shin protection was useless, heavy kit, super heavy when wet, no vitamins (Messi would be a dwarf in Pele's era), if the attacker was pressuring the defenders, they could simply pass the ball to the keeper, who could take it with their hands.
@@RogerRamos1993 Gaúcho, dizer que o material esportivo pesava 4 x mais eu acho exagero. E hoje os calções e camisas são maiores que nos tempos do Pelé. Claro, de poliéster, fininhos. A chuteira foi o que teve o maior avanço tecnológico e ergonômico. A bola tem o mesmo peso, e a de hoje absorve zero de umidade, e a antiga, de couro, embora com um revestimento protetor, absorvia umidade, mas não tanto assim. Mas o Pelé hoje ia destroçar, mais, eu acho. O nível caiu muito, ele ia ter adversários menos brilhantes. Os gramados hoje são muito melhores, a preparação física, nutricional, científica, etc, ia se recuperar mais rapidamente do cansaço e das contusões, e até eventuais cirurgias, toda essa parte evoluiu sim, umas 4 vezes, e o negão ia voar, matar a pau, ia ser o verdadeiro fenômeno, como, de fato, foi.
Verdade diziam que Pelé tinha uma estrutura muito forte.
There was a dude before Pele that was on a similar level, the original Ronaldinho...Garrincha IMO the inventor of "sauce" in football.
They both played for Brazil, and when Pele and Garrincha played for Brazil, they won...EVERY single game they both played
Indeed
People say this guys invented this and that guy invented that, players did skill moves almost 100 years ago in football , but Garrincha and Pele were among the first ones to appear on TV. I'm not saying they arent some of the best players ever, i'm just saying that people claim stuff like this without evidence.
@@aramskaef6955 yup. People talk total shit.
Garrincha came after Pele
garrincha and pele played together in 1962, but pele got injured during the world cup and garrincha, not alone of course, the squad was amazing, managed to lead the team to win the cup.
Pelé once stopped a war so the people could watching him play
Com tres minutos de filme já dá pra ver que Pelé coloca no bolso Messi, C. Ronaldo e todos os outros.
REI PELÉ ⚽️👑
MÁXIMO RESPEITO
Never thought i'd say this, but in this day and age, Pele is underrated, he is no longer put forward as the goat as much these days, but his case is as strong as any, and in fact stronger than Messi and C.Ronaldo, because he won multiple world cups
Pele also doesn't get enough credit for what he did with Santos at club level. Taking the club to two successive Copa Liberadores and Intercontinental Cup wins. Both of these trophies Santos had never won before the arrival of Pele. He is also the record goalscorer in the Intercontinental Cup finals with 7 goals in just 3 games played.
Messi and Ronaldo created a whole dumb fan base.
Today people forget how important a WC is.
@@DizzyMakavelli Football fans are so stupid nowadays tbh. They act like pop artist fans
All that C Ronaldo bollocks just irritates me,they managed to transfere sport in gay fashion parade...
Only 12 Messi or Ronaldo fans disregard Pele. No real football fan would do that. Messi and Ronaldo are a marketing coup, Iniesta was better than Messi some years, Zlatan better than Ronaldo some other years, Neymar was better in 2014. Unfortunately the football is all about marketing nowadays.
Pelé has just passed away but he will always be remembered by us as a genius in the art of playing soccer. Rest in peace...eternal number 10.
THE ULTIMATE GOAT OF ALL SPORTS. PELE 4EVER
The ultimate goat is Michael Jordan.
Lol
I am Brazilian and I'd course Pele is the football God that everyone wants to come close to be! But he was also the first black superstar on the planet as football was a bigger audience (still is)at the time,but he was always treated like he is ,a gift to humanity,he scored 6 goals in a world cup as a 17 years old! 2 in the final,17 years old poor kid from Brazil became the Sportsman of the century,as elected by all , including the American ones! He played for Cosmos in the US also in the of his career and help open the doors to football (soccer)in America, helping pave the way for the leagues and also for the American team becoming more professional and compete well on the world stage! Many come a little close but nobody stopped a war in Africa to see a football game,Pele did in the 70s!I think it was Zaire or Congo.
Superman on the planet Pele was! still alive and well at 81 years old 💪🚀
Pele was awesome! He even did a movie with Sylvester Stallone.
escape to victory...great film
And Stallone was the goal-keeper (my favorite position in soccer). This movie is a must-see. It's pure fun!
Victory cool movie.
He is Brazilian. The real GOAT of soccer. He could play at any time and dominate. The same can be said of Maradona. Maradona is a very close second. He took a team that was dead last in Italy to champions and won multiple World Cups. You need to review him as well. Dude, was ballin out of his mind.
Bullsh*t
Ummm. maradona won 1 WC by using his hand to score a goal. With VAR today, he would've at least got a yellow card. Pele never needed to cheat to get 3 World Cup Titles....Ronaldo, Romario, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Tito, Socrates.... So many better than Maradona
No one can touch Pele. My Dad loved Pele and I would watch with him when I was little. He was like a combo of Magic Johnson and the most beautiful running back in football. Amazing. Glad you guys get to see that Sports didn't begin 10 years ago!
Yep. Diego won 1 WC though but as a player, to me he is the greatest if I had to pick one (I mean too many great players have come and gone)
@@609promotions I agree. Nothing wrong with that... Brazil v Argentina always crazy . I really liked Aquiero.. Mr Kun... ⚽
Pelé tinha a força de Ronaldo fenômeno; era cirúrgico na pequena área como Romário; driblador como Ronaldinho, arisco como Neymar e chutava forte como Kaká.
Chutava forte como Roberto Carlos.
The Goat. My pops loved soccer so much he name me after him "Edson", wasn't the easiest name growing up with, but was cool to learn I was named after greatness later in life.
I'm from Brazil and I had the pleasure to see Pelé playing when I was a child. He was great!!!
Que gusto y honor,me hace muy feliz saber de ustedes que tienen este interés por el Rey del fútbol, gracias
REST IN PEACE PELÉ THE GREATEST OF THE GREATEST SOCCER PLAYERS, the myth become a legend
Met Pelé, Chinaglia, and Beckenbauer when they played for the Cosmos. Spent an afternoon in the field with Giorgio. Awesome!
For me the best ever. As has been said, did it it when defenders could kick lumps out of you and pitches cut up bad making ball control even harder.
O MAIOR DE TODOS, REI 👑
Pelé was like a cheat code. Elite level dribbler, fast, could score with both feet from close and long range, one of the best headers of the ball in his era despite not being the tallest player AND he had offensive awareness too, he could easily set up team mates that were in better position. People say that he played most of his club football in Brazil but people ignore that his club Santos played all over the world, especially in Europe, and Pelé performed against all of them.
Lol Brazil had the strongest league in the world in that time, simply because all Brazilian players played in Brazil, no South Americans in Europe. That is why Brazil won two World Cups in row, and another right after England cheated in 66.
@@Nat.ali.a They really dismiss this fact.
They think Brazil was made by farmer who also played football. 😂
Brazil had strong National teams in Pele era but the league was made by farmers. How can it be?
They don’t give a single Damn about logic.
Santos toured the World every year, playing four games per week!! Stadiums filled to capacity to see Pele play.
Scored nearly 1000 career goals
Won the World Cup thrice
He played in the 50s through to the 70s and held title for the greatest footballer in the planet for nearly four decades, up until Messi and Ronaldo came along.. and Pele is still alive...
Would have been awarded at least 9 Ballon D'Or if the award had existed in his time.
Obrigado por apreciar o nosso Pelé ! O Rei !
When I heard other players, specially defenders, talk about their experiences trying to stop him, they all said the same thing… It was impossible! Because, besides the fact that he had incredible ball skills, he was built like a bull.
The greatest of all time.
3 World Cups
3 Club World Championships
1,283 Goals
Over 600 assists
10 Paulista
4 Rio sao paulo
6 brazilian league titles
2 Libertadores
7 Ballon D'ors
Best player in 2/3 World Cups
Holds the most records in football
If golden boots existed in Pele's time he could have won the award 9 times... The most ever!
What modern folks should realize about Pele is that YES, he was a great player, but his skill was not his most important contribution.
Pele POPULARIZED the sport like no one has ever done before or since. The image of Football as "The Beautiful Game" started with Pele.
And he went on to be it's most important Ambassador - he is STILL active in promoting football around the world.
This is why Pele is the GOAT - his impact on the sport around the world is unrivaled.
He didn’t score 1283 goals, he never played in Europe. He’s actually overrated.
@@moali641 is that kinda like the mvp for European football/ premier League?
@@ragnarok283 he put into stats street games ;D
Great reaction, guys. Pele is THE GOAT when it comes to Football. And just to add some context, he was a football phenom from a very young age. The guy was so good, that he was signed by one of the top professional teams in Brazil when he was only 15 (or 16), soon becoming their top striker, and still at that age, one of the top strikers in the entire country. Some of the old footage you watched in this video was when Pele was only 17 years old during the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, in which Pele became not only the youngest player ever to score goals at the World Cup --- he is the youngest player ever in the World Cup to score hat-tricks (3 goals in a game). He still holds this record to this very day.
And to add further context --- you have to understand that when 17 year old Pele was added to the Brazil National team to represent Brazil at the 1958 World Cup, Brazil at that time was not taken seriously by European teams. They saw Brazil's style as unrefined and too disorganized. The European teams also looked down at the fact that the Brazil teams were always so racially diverse. In that 1958 World Cup, 17-year old Pele, playing against strong grown men, famous professionals at that time, humbled those teams. They put on a show and embarrassed the opposition on the field. Pele led Brazil to its first ever World Cup trophy, and forever made Brazil the most feared team to this very day.
Anyway, there is a movie that was on Netflix (or its somewhere on Amazon Prime) called "Pelé: Birth of A Legend" --- you should definitely check it out. AWESOME movie about young Pele from the age of around 10 years old to 17.
Pele had it all: a super-athlete, with elite ball control, and tactical genius, who started playing the game young in a soccer country. Great with both feet, fast, strong, agile, vertical leap, balanced, could place his long passes and long shots, could dribble from his own half, or even through tight groups of 4.
Love the reactions guys. Pele was onced asked who was the greatest player he played against in a world cup and he said the greatest player never played in a world cup. He was talking about George Best. You should check him out. Keep the reactions coming. Love from Ireland.
Paddy’s always bringing up George Best. 😉

The movie Pele it's a great watch! Especially now that you guys are more interested in the beautiful game
This guy defines what true old school soccer was all about!!!!
The best football player in Hystory
Thank you Pelé
From 🇧🇷 Brasil
Pele was one of the world's greatest super athletes, maybe the most famous Brazilian and possibly one of the world's most famous black athletes. Since he retired, the black community of this generation hasn't really fully remembered him since new athletes and people follow athletes of their generation, but Pele is a legend. No doubt he was the best player in history with all respect to all the others who played the game of soccer-football.
In the early 1980s I worked summers for the Cosmos summer camps at my college. Every year there was a Pele week. He would come during the week, interact with the kids, do demonstrations and play in the coaches game. It was amazing to watch him up close and get to talk with him. He definitely was the king of soccer and a nice man. RIP.
And remember, all of this was before the 'Beckham Dive' free kicks. Pele was before the flops/dives were strategies. This is genuine.
Long live to the KING !!!
And this is not a 1% of all he did... Thanks Pele! A masterpiece of God.
He was the GREATEST and this is why..
These are just a few thoughts and facts of my own to add to the many outpourings of love and appreciation to the man who first described the game we love so much as... "THE BEAUTIFUL GAME"
As well as being only seventeen during the 1958 world cup, Pele did not play in any of the group stage games because he was recovering from a pre-tournament injury, yet he ended up being the tournament's second-top goalscorer with a total of 6 goals.
In other words, all his goals were scored during the business end of the tournament (the knockout stage) and breakdown as follows...
His first goal was scored in the quarter-final (the winning goal), he then score a hat trick in the semi-finals against France, and two more goals in the World Cup final against tournament host Sweden.
Think about it, 6 goals in the 3 most important games of his 17-year-old life (and the 3 most important games every professional footballer dreams of getting a chance to play in (wow!!).
A SIDE NOTE: I was a little bit disappointed that nobody appeared to notice the trivial but nonetheless very interesting fact about a particular game featured in the recent 2022 World Cup...
There was an awful lot of fanfare surrounding the Wales vs USA matchup, because it was the first time Wales were to play in a World Cup finals competition since 1958, when they suffered a hard-fought 1- 0 defeat to Brazil at the quarterfinal stage.
And who do you think scored the single solitary goal?... yes you guess it, Pele!!
Pele's very first game (and goal) in the 1958 World Cup would be Wales's last World Cup game for 64 years. And as fate would have it, he would get to witness their return just before he died.
Brazil was just another country in 1958, with no name or reputation to speak of on the world stage. By 1970 (just 12 years and 3 world Cups later) it was known and celebrated (to this day) by one and all as the best, most important footballing nation in the world. A reputation that has enriched the Brazilian nation with billions of Dollars in football-related trade and sponsorships. I doubt that anyone has had such an impact on his countries reputation/economic situation in such a short space of time.
Neymar's response to Pele's passing was to point out another very simple fact, "Before Pele, the number 10 was just a number"
There are lots more facts that could be added such as Pele only played 12 years for the Brazilian national team, the World Cup winning years (1958 to 1970), and that his club side Santos won 27 trophies during Pele's time (1957-74), having won only 1 trophy before and none for the 28 years after he retired. Santos is the biggest name in Brazilian football with one of the smallest stadiums (holds about 16 thousand), this is because it is and always has been a small-town club, that Pele put on the map and made big in the eyes of the world.
BUT WHO IS THE GREATEST FOOTBALLER OF ALL TIME????????...
Ok, I think we can tidy up this discussion as well....
Sugar Ray Robinson is consistently considered by pretty near all boxing experts as the BEST pound-for-pound boxer of all time...
.. but no one would argue that Muhammad Ali is the GREATEST!!
And yes there is also much room to debate who is the BEST footballer of all time, but the case as stated here, and the beautiful history of the beautiful game, should leave no doubt as to who is its GREATEST player...

I've watched highlights of the best..and I think he might be the GOAT..I'm from America so I could be wrong and don't know about the stats
Yeah Pelé is the GOAT
@@Lucas_boilon 😂 he’s not consider that by futbol fans yes he’s a legend but Messi and Cr7 are undoubtedly better
He’s not cr7 and Messi are
@@JesusRamirez-kt5zq You may be a fan of messi and cr7 which means you can't be neutral, I also like both but Pelé is a god and Messi and cr7 aliens. Pelé has better statistics, Pelé won the supreme trophy at the World Cup 3 times, during the 60s he was the top scorer every year, the conditions were much more complicated at the time... so no Pelé is largely best there is no debate
That goal where he bounces it three times then head butts it in. AMAZING
Pele is in hospice right now, I talked to him twice as a kid in like 1974 when he played for the new york cosmos, he is the KING!!!! He was my idol as a kid
I'm from Brasil, living now in Santos, São Paulo. All my life I lived in São Paulo. I don't write English very well, I Don't use Google Translation. Thank you so much. This video was made 2 months ago, before our REI KING Pelé dead. Beautiful. All my love,

Rip Rei Pelé!
Yes!! They did a Pelé reaction! Supernice dudes!! 🙌
Q vídeo top man. Rápido .driblador .chutava forte .era um tanque .ambidestro. impulsão fora do normal. Completo demais. nao é a toa que é o rei Pelé 3 copas do mundo. O brabo
thanks for the homage to the eternal idol Pelé, I'm from the city of the club where Pelé played and lived and I was yesterday in the parade that went through the city for a last goodbye. I'm from Santos/Brazil
Great reaction. If you want to learn about old black athletes, please react to Abebe Bekila: the first African athlete to ever win gold at the Olympics (Rome 1960). He ran the marathon barefoot and won. Please note, that his country (Ethiopia) was under a ruthless Italian rule for 5 years (1935-1941). So his victory is very symbolic to Africa and Ethiopia in particular.
Pelé é o rei do futebol. O Brasil sempre bem representado! 🇧🇷
Rei 🤴🏿 Pelé!!! GÊNIO 🧞♂️, ele era de outro planeta 🌏
I almost cry every time, watching again and again no other player can match.
4:37 nesse jogo o Pelé apanhou horrores em campos , chega um momento que você precisa revidar . Dá mesma forma que Jordan fez contra seus adversários depois dos BadBoys .
Grande parte da carreira do Pelé foi antes dos cartões amarelo e vermelho . Inclusive na Copa de 1966 foi tão cansado que foi vergonhoso para Copa . Os melhores atletas eram covardamentes caçados antigamente .
He’s the Babe Ruth of soccer
Simplesmente o melhor...único..nunca haverá ninguém como ele! O Rei Pelé! 👑
I've always gotten emotional watching Pele play - a star this bright gotta be shining somewhere, always. Obrigado, Pele!
I was wondering when you were going to get around to See Pele !
Would love to see Pele's moves with today's camera tech. Hard to follow that old footage on a smaller screen. He was hard to believe with his food speed skills. Legend.
Saw him play at a close distance two times, the intensity, speed, strength and skill were off the charts. These films don't do it justice.
A lenda brasileira Pelé O maior jogador de todos os tempos ! Fez tudo isso em uma época super difícil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
7:10 the man who popularized the bicycle kick was Leônidas da Silva, also known by his nickname "black diamond".
That's not true it was created by Ramón Unzaga
@@fatguyinbasement8653 Sorry, adjusted. Thanks.
Pele its legendary. Nice Reaction
Still waiting for Hagi goals reaction
Pele was the greatest of all time and then Messi came along.
Pele was was ahead of his time but Messi played at a higher level, meaning the competition is far better than it was back then.
Yea until cristiano came along as well.
No way... Messi is a choker, no arguemnt for him being ranked ahead of pele.
@@jovaniolivares3757 Wow the modern day narrative 'Messi and ronaldo are the goats top 2 all time'
@@vegeta8659 Which means its even more impressive that pele reached the level he did, doesnt it?
The only way you can really judge how good someone is/was is how they stack up against the competition of their time. The competition they were in is what breeded them. Theres an argument to be made that if pele were in his peak now he would be as much better than todays competition as he was better than his times competition.
The fantastic PELÉ inigualável the King
Pelé should have AT LEAST 10 Ballon d'Or!
Wow..he makes moves like a person dribbing a basketball
R.I.P
Edson Arantes do Nascimento
Gracias por este homenaje al rei PELÉ. 😢
Pelé is Mozart, eternal King of football
Maior de todo Queen pelè ❤️🇧🇷
Queen não, King Pelé
Ih, rapaz
You guys gotta react to Zidane! Pure Magic
Pele is like Wilt and Bill Russel wrapped in one. Maradona is our Jordan.
No football player can ever compare with King Pele. This man represented Brazil as an ambassador both on the soccer field and out of the soccer field. He is the true role model.
Pele is obviously the best player of all time
Maradona from Argentina was truly incredible! Check him out 💯
NEVER IN THIS LIFETIME WILL EVER EXIST ANOTHER PLAYER LIKE YOUR MAJESTY "THE KING PELE" REST IN PEACE. 🙏
He changed the game! The biggest of all times. Pelé is a legend and will be forever.
F Maradona f messi f c.ronaldo. .Pele is the g.o.a.t
There is no debate.
Pelé, o melhor 👑 🇧🇷🏆the best.
REST IN PARADISE KING PELE! THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU GAVE TO FOOTBALL!💚💛💚💛
An accurate description of PELE would be WILT Chamberlain. Ahead of his time, would dominate in any era, and a straight bucket getter!
Definitely. He was a modern player playing 60-70 years ago! Incredible player and GOAT 💯
I would say he’s Jordan + Russell
Pele will always be the No 1 goat..Reason being the goals he scored,3 World Cups the first at just 17 years old and the way he conducted himself on the pitch. Never dived when a tackle came in. Never back chatted the refs. Simply the best player to grace a football pitch..And i am thankful that i got to watch him on tv in the 1970 World Cup where Brazil were just outstanding..
pele was a force of nature
A lot of people say that he's overrated.
But he did EVERYTHING since late 50's until early 70's that Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Cruyff, Maradona and every single player to this day.
And everything was different back then. Defenders beating a lot of players and nothing happening to them (Pelé missed the 66 world cup because of an injury). The ball was heavier (even more when it rains), the kits (shirts, shorts, boots, socks) were heavier as well. No technology invested in those items. The field/pitch was poor with a lot of holes, sand...
He is the G.O.A.T!
Pele= the original Goat! All the dribbling we see today, he created them and did it first. He sat the standards for today's football/soccer!
I met Pele' back in the 80s at my high school. He was very quiet and nice.
