Pele did not only belong to Brazil but to the whole football world,
the world belong to Him
Pelé is our Brazilian treasure. Me as brazilian don't mind to share our king with all peoples in worlds
I’m Brazilian and had the opportunity to travel the world. Everywhere I went and people found out I was Brazilian, Pelé would come right after. Especially among older folks. The reach of that man is larger than anyone can understand. In the 90s they made a worldwide research and Pelé was the most recognizable name only losing to Jesus. RIP LEGEND!
Belleza de humano
And he deserves all the worldwide adulation and respect he's getting .He was the world's 1st sports superstar .
@OB Pele is the national father of brazil no man has put Brazil on the map around the globe then this man from football, culture, the ginga style of Afro-Brasileiros and so much more. Brazilians should honor tthis man to higest degree possible in the country.
@@pietrojenkins6901 and he deserves it because of all the good deeds he did outside of the pitch, spreading the joy of football.
His feats on the field were exemplary but his contributions beyond more than equaled them
Not only was Pele the most complete player ever, he was a gentleman 🙏🌹
The greatest footballer of all time R.I.P PELE
If it is not for pele I wouldn't be a soccer fanatic I am today.I loved Brasil because of him.
A man of character and an athlete of the century who was respected and loved by all races, religions, and all countries on the World. It’s a tragedy to loose him, he was one of the kind R.I.P Edson Arantes Dos Nascimento.
Pele was just 17 at the World Cup in 1958. He scored 6 goals. The winner in the quarter final, a hat trick in the semi final, and two goals in the final.
Are you sure that's all correct?
@@johnross2924 Yes, it is absolutely correct
@@johnross2924 He's the youngest player to win a world cup
@@johnross2924 Yes it is.
To those who say he is not the greatest, remind them of this achievement. The goals were scored in
his second , third and fourth world cup matches. Definitely The G O A T.
RIP, King. The Greatest Forever.
Question: What is your ambition?
Pele “To make people happy”.
The man transcended the sport.
The original GOAT 🐐
Solo una vez en la vida aparecen gigantes de ese nivel. No habrá otro Muhammad Ali, otro Lennon, Elvis otro Michael Jackson... otro Pelé. 😢😢😢
Pele was the greatest football player ever .Maradona was a great player. If they were on the same team Maradona would be a sub
they would both be on the pitch at the sams time
@Get in there Lewis! Out, out out, out out out 2 up front ,no way
@Get in there Lewis! Out, out out, out out out you don't know footballer
The first number 10 jersey! He had a respect for people, for the game...carried himself as a King! VERY hard to find in today's football scene, sadly.
People always say good things when someone dies but for PELE ALL THE GOOD ARE TRUER THAN TRUE
RIP King of football 🙏
Never in the field of football history have a sport and an entire country owed so much to one single man, Pele, and this stands as a perfect epitaph to Pele, whose passing has made the sporting world and the world in general a much, much poorer place. He will be so sadly missed by the Brazilian people, the football world and the sporting world, and by football fans of all nationalities. He certainly earned so much indeed his BBC Sports Personality of the Year and his honorary knighthood from the Queen. Goodbye Pele, Rest In Peace, you were a giant of the game who will never be forgotten as long as football is played.
Wherever we shall see the likes of Pele ever again remains to be seen, with all due respect to more recent and current players like Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo. This is truly a very, very sad and great loss for football and sport, as well, of course, for his family and his mother who is still alive and for the people of Brazil. Brazil desperately needs someone like Pele to unite them in the face of their political and other difficulties.
RIP Legend❤ ⚽ deeply condolences from Manipur (India)
An athlete transcends his sport when people who don't follow the sport, or sports in general, know of the athlete. Three athletes who transcended their sport are Mohammed Ali, Michael Jordan, and Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pele'. Descanse em paz, senhor. Voce era o melhor.
FACTS!!
@Joseph Long facts bro
Too young to see him live,but I learnt about him as a kid in the early 80's and he became a hero of mine.It's always tough to compare sportsmen/sportswomen of different era's as there are so many factors to consider,but without doubt he was a complete footballer,on the pitch he had no weakness.RIP King Pele.
Great point. It’s time the football world taught the younger generation about the greats from the past. Only then can we get a true perspective as to why the game is in that state that it is in now and why the greatest players in the modern era play football the way the do now.
Pelé is in another World having fun no poverty no fighting somewhere 34light years away mucho amor Pelé
A true gentleman, a true man, a intelligent man. The sould and spirit of Brazil he is the face of Brazilian spirit, phsycology, national identity. We Brazilians will never forget this man, when we look at him we see out great grandfather the deep African root that is the basis of our culture. Don''t matter if you are white, yellow, black, brown, mixed in Brazil this man is our national father.
This is a beautiful statement!!
Long Live Football King's Legacy!!! Time has come to rise to the top of the world in football. I miss the natural 🇧🇷Brazilian flair. Come on!!! Do it for the departed King. Much Love to 🇧🇷 from 🇮🇳.
He will be missed the best ever .
My prayers for him and his family
Pele is the King! "You are what your records say you are". Long live Pele!
IN 1967, PELÉ WENT TO NIGERIA WITH HIS BRAZILIAN TEAM, SANTOS FOOTBALL CLUB; IN NIGÉRIA WAS GOING ON A CIVIL WAR, SO, THE TWO PARTS INVOLVED IN THAT WAR, AGREED TO STOP THE WAR TO SEE PELÁ PLAYING. IN ANOTHER OCASION, IN COLOMBIA, THE FANS PUT OUTSIDE THE REFERRE AND CALLED PELÉ TO PLAY THE GAME. HE ALSO PLAYED AS A GOOL KEPPER IN SOME OCASIONS AND NEVER SUFFERED A GOAL.
Pelé will be used as footballer's principle measurement for measuring how great someone can reach in football history.
Pelé = football principle measurement ⚽️ !!!! A Scale for ⚖ footballers' achievement.
I agree 👍 💯
RIP to king of football Pele,the legend
The absolute greatest.
Thank you Channel 4 for the heart warming Tributes.
RIP legend
Rest in peace Pele
Pele is the legend! May the departed soul rest in peace!
There can be only one Pele, long live Pele.
Rest in Peace, Brother.
I remember his greatness,the greatest of the last century and an icon of his race and country.
THE GREATEST
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 prove to be Wales's last world cup game for next 68 years. And as fate would have it, Pele 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 wins later) it was known and celebrated, by one and all that Brazil was the best, most important footballing nation in the world. A reputation responsible for enriched the Brazilian nation with billions of Dollars in football-related trade and sponsorships. I doubt that anyone has had more of 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 less than 20 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 that discussion as well....
Sugar Ray Robinson is consistently considered the best pound-for-pound boxer of all time...
.. but everyone knows 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...
Edson Arantes Do Nascimento (Pele)
RIP
By Mr Arthurs.
Super underrated comment. Hopefully more people can read this.
Wowww 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
“The GOAT as young people say”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But in all seriousness RIP Pele. First football icon I could recognise as a kid getting into the sport❤
Yeah when she said that it made all the "young people" sound very silly to be honest and that was funny. In all seriousness tho I like all the great players from history including Messi but I'm sorry I don't care what the young people say even though I myself am young after finding out everything I have about Pele I have to say Pele still is the king, Pele is the GOAT, el rey de futbol, el mejor de futbol, PELE! da GOAT!

I don't think people understand how important it was for young Black Brazillians and Black Diaspora to see a Black Man tearing up the pitch and winning glory like Pele did.
Rest in peace
To be honest I onky heard pele name when I was a child. His name and ehat he did in football spread faster than we actually seeing his highlight

Legendary guy ⚽️ RIP PELE
You were our hero. Rest in Peace. 🙏 ⚽️ 🥅
The King. 🏆⚽🏆⚽🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
pelé won 3 world cups and made a country love this sport
For us from small mining towns in poor countries, where black&white tv was a rare expensive luxury - we used to wake up at midnight to watch world cup matches from neighbours' windows. And so we started the tradition of giving No. 10 to the best striker on each team because of Pele's exploits. Apparently, that tradition continues even today
There's athletes and theres pele.
Forever the #1. You did every thing on field. Great personality. Not body will be like the King of soccer. RIP PELE. 🙏🏽❤️🇨🇴
RIP, KING.
Bye legend
Pelé: eterno!
Brazilian icone?? No! Pele is a world's Icone!
El padre del fútbol. nos deja pero una vez Rey siempre Rei será. 🤴🇧🇷♥️
RIP king Pele
I'm really sad to have had this news, but my wish is that Pele should have a statue both at his home and at the place where his won the first world cup. RIP #Pele#Brazil.
Pele was a very good footballer
Pelé was the beautiful game and made millions happy, his legacy will live on forever, mission accomplished RIP.
4:52 that hit hard 😢
There is no discussion. Pelé is the best. Regardless of speculation.
