Brazil’s first World Cup in his hands
Pelé made his debut in the World Cup in 1958 against the Soviet Union. The match was the third edition of the World Cup. In the quarter-finals, Pelé’s goal against Wales went to Brazil in the semifinals. In the World Cup finals, the goal scorers were the youngest player in history. The 17-year-old Pele went on to become the first Brazilian player to win the 1958 World Cup.
World record in the first match
Pelé’s international football career started in Brazil on July 7, 1957. Contrary to the anticipated Argentina Paley also created the world record in the first match. Only 16 years and 9 months old, he achieved the record of the youngest player in international history. However, Brazil lost to Argentina by a 2-1 margin.
Three World Cup wins
Pelé plays in the World Cup for Brazil in 1958, 1962, 1966 and 1970. He is the only player who has won the World Cup victory in three times (1958, 1962 and 1970). However, in the second World Cup in 1962, a serious injury could have been found. With this blow, he fell off the World Cup team. But in the meantime, the Brazilian service also won the World Cup title. Because of that many people debate whether they are members of that group. Finally, in 1997, he was named FIFA World Player of the World Football Federation, a member of the 1962 World Cup winning team.
Club Footballer Paley
The club was also excellent in football. The team won 26 titles for the club. The achievement of being the highest scorer 11 times in the domestic league is able to mean just a little of his achievement. Many have complained about Pelé that he never played in European football, which is a limitation for him. He did not play in Europe, but his performance in Europe is enough to surprise. In addition to the national team, the Intercontinental Cup has impressed his performance. But apart from these, Pelé has some other matches against European teams. Pelé’s goal was 132 against 130 against these teams.
Thousand goals
In football career, he scored 1283 goals in 1363 matches. In the year 1969, during the Brazilian League match against the Vasco-Da-Gama Club, the biggest goal of the day was, the whole Brazilian festival was celebrated on that day. This was the world record about the goal of a single player.
Strategy Prince
Pelé’s strategy in football was fantastic. Especially his heading strategy was the most different. The person who was able to hit the height of most of the divider was able to hit it 5 feet 8 inches tall. Pelé’s Bending Shot also helped to get a free kick and a penalty kick. But always trying to avoid Penalty Penalty. Because he could never think of this method irrelevant.
Pele could play in any position.
