Showing results for "Pelé" in Sports

Soccer. Football. The beautiful game. The world’s most popular sport goes by many names, but for decades, fans have agreed on one thing: the greatest player of all time was Pelé. Now the legendary star, ambassador, and humanitarian shares a global vision for what soccer can accomplish. Now he shares his story, his experience, and his insights on the game for the very first time. Before Messi, before Ronaldo, before Beckham, there was Edson Arantes do Nascimento - known simply as Pelé.

Pelé voksede op i et fattigt kvarter i Sao Paolo i Brasilien. Barfodet spillede han fodbold med nabolagets rødder - med tantens sammenrullede strømpebukser som bold. Siden blev hans utrolige talent opdaget, og udstyret med et par spritnye fodboldstøvler indtog Pelé som stor dreng den lokale topklub, Santos. Siden fulgte en endeløs række af successer. Fra han som 17-årig i 1958 bragede igennem ved VM i Sverige, til han i slutningen af 1970'erne endegyldigt trak sig tilbage, har Pelé været en magisk figur på enhver fodboldbane.

Bem antes de ser conhecido como Pelé, Edson Arantes do Nascimento tinha outro apelido: Dico. Era assim que a família e os amigos de infância o chamavam - em casa, na escola, nas brincadeiras de rua.
