Pele has motivated young generations to conduct social mobility through football. This man has succeeded the social mobilizing by taking advantage of his skills.
That means Pele became the source of confidence and hope for black people around the world as well as other Brazilians. Some people even called him as the light at the end of the underpass. Needless to say, he brought the entire Brazilians with him. Pele also became a symbol of racism breakage and boundaries in terms of marriage.
He married to a white woman. With his star power, he influenced more people around the world. Not the best player of the year but bigger than that, he was voted as the best player of all time. This man has become the source of inspiration among many people worldwide.
He has an amazing capability to interact with people regardless of the backgrounds. Thanks to his good-natured spirit and optimism. He really understands how tough a life can be. He really knows that there are many people in this world who are battling against hardships.
He has the belief that all black men have the same opportunity to elevate their life. Pele has helped others through his impressive involvements. For example, he stopped the civil war in Nigeria. Towards the end of his soccer career, Pele also went to display his acting skills, and he is also a musician. His other talents, too, were invested to promote soccer and goodwill among populations.
Few care to recount the instances when Pele suffered grievous wounds during a game and quit the field in tears, only to return better than before for the next match. Here is the sportsmanship that propelled the player to be the man he is. The world of soccer would still be waiting for its king if Pele was an ordinary player who was on the field for merely fame or money, rather than true passion for the sport.
One lesson that can be learnt from Pele's story therefore, is that the key to success is to indulge in that which your heart lay. Another lesson is that a successful man is not the one who does not meet failure, but the one who accepts failure as a part of his learning process and moves on.
An adult who is trying to attain a set goal must be like a toddler learning to walk - not afraid of falling down, and getting up every time he falls down to try and walk again, one step at a time. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. He used to say, 'Listen. God gave to you the gift to play football. This is your gift from God. If you take care of your health, if you are in good shape all the time, with your gift from God no one will stop you, but you must be prepared.
I scored 1, goals, and only two or three were bicycle kicks. It was turned down, but I think it is an important story that will make a good film. And then I played for Brazil at the Maracana against Argentina. So I get more experience. This was one year before the World Cup, and it made a lot of difference. But when the player is tough but intelligent, it's much more difficult.
But I said no, after 18 years I want to rest, because I want to retire. He can do assists, encourage his colleagues, give them confidence to go forward. It is someone who, when a team does not do well, becomes one of the leaders. The only way to win is as a team.
Football is not about one or two or three star players. We were all friends. But in Brasilia you don't know who your friends are. In , he led the team that many consider to be the best of all time.
He was named Player of the Tournament and his performance was full of amazing plays, including ones where he did not even score the goal. Some examples below references are in the original article :. The best player ever? Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are both great players with specific qualities, but Pele was better;.
Messi is quite a weapon for Barca. He used both feet on the pitch. He was as dangerous with his right as he was with his left. He was strong in the air as well, and created a lot of chances;. But now he Messi is the best player in the world and of his time. However, the best ever is Pele. He is just ahead of Messi. I played with him at the New York Cosmos and you would give him the ball and just not see him again because he was too fast.
Pele was all instinct. You tell me God, If it is madness…if it is the truth So much horror below the skies?! In those dark and scary days, a young Black Brazilian man was praised in stadiums all over Europe, North America and the whole world as the true King of Soccer.
An unbelievable, fantastic and revolutionary feat. Actually, it was up to Pele to change the status of the black player. Differently from the great black players from the past, Pele was not ashamed of his skin color, he was proud of being black. He liked being called the Negro, The black man. That behavior from the best Brazilian player was an example for the other players who still felt inferior because of their skin color. The black man was free, but felt the curse of color.
