The career of the ball king is so legendary. From 1956 to 1974, Pele played for Santos for 19 seasons, winning the Sao Paulo League championship, six Brazil Cups, two South American Libertadores Cups and two World Club Cups (predecessor of the Toyota Cup). In the meantime, Pele 1 1 was elected as the top scorer in the S? o Paulo state league, especially from 1957 to 1965. He wore the golden boots of the top scorer for nine years in a row, which is a record that no one can surpass.
Bailey's figure is not outstanding, but he is very talented. Excellent speed, extraordinary balance, broad vision and amazing ball control ability are his "weapons". Of course, his accurate shooting with his feet and header helped him knock on the door again and again. During Pele's career, * * * participated in 1363 official games and scored 128 1 goals, which is the highest in history with official records.

"I never wanted to score the1000th goal with a free throw."-Bailey said in his autobiography "Thousand Balls".
1969165438+1October19, Pele scored the1000th goal of his career at Maracana Stadium. This is a penalty. People even rushed into the stadium to stop the game to celebrate. Later, Santos Club gave it to165438+1October 65438+. Brazil's president declared Pele a "national treasure" and refused to allow him to transfer to play abroad.
Pele, the king of the ball, once said that the most difficult hurdle for the Soviet team was the gate guarded by Yassin. This man is almost the only one who can make Bailey feel heavy pressure. At that time, almost all the world's outstanding stars were sighing for Lev Yashin. 1970, the British "Football World" magazine selected the best player in the world in the past 20 years, and Yassin lost to Pele, ranking second.
Even more amazing, Bailey can stop the war! 1970, Bailey came to Nigeria where the civil war raged and played an exhibition match in Lagos, the capital. Therefore, the government forces and the opposition reached an agreement to cease fire for 48 hours, because everyone wanted to watch Pele play football!
King of the World Cup
Apart from the goals in his 22-year football career, the most important thing is naturally the World Cup. In 1958 Sweden, people saw a young face on the TV screen. This 17-year-old boy plays darts with his back to the camera, and he is quite shy among beautiful women. This is the fledgling Bailey. At the beginning of this game, Pele was only a substitute for the Brazilian team and did not play in the first two games. Although the third group match against the Soviet Union, it didn't leave a deep impression.
Maybe Bailey is God's gift to the big game. After entering the knockout stage, this 17-year-old boy suddenly became the most terrible weapon in Brazil. In the final of 1/4, 1-0 defeated Wells. Bailey scored the only goal and beat the gorgeous French team 5-2 in the semi-final. He scored a hat trick and beat host Sweden 5-2 in the final. Pele scored two more goals to help Brazil win the World Cup for the first time.
This moment has become a classic.
About 1958 World Cup, two scenes became eternal. One is that Bailey picked a defender in the final and scored a volley. The cheated Swedish defender Berlin later said that he couldn't help congratulating Pele after seeing such a wonderful goal. In another scene, after winning the championship, Bailey fell on the shoulder of teammate Didi and cried emotionally. On the day of the final, Pele was only 17 years and 239 days, which also set a record for the youngest player to participate in the World Cup finals and score goals.
1962 world cup in Chile, Pele only played one and a half games. In the first game, he beat Mexico 2-0. He scored 1, but was kicked later. In the second game in Czechoslovakia, Pele pulled a muscle and withdrew from the World Cup. However, thanks to the performances of Garrincha and others, Brazil finally won the trophy, and Pele won the second World Cup medal with his teammates. 1966 In the World Cup in England, Brazil lost Pele again, played the king of the ball in the match with Portugal, and the team was eliminated.
The nightmare of injuries in two major competitions once made Bailey swear never to participate in the World Cup again and concentrate on playing for Santos. However, in 1970, zagallo, an old friend, successfully persuaded Pele to return to Brazil. The football king could not resist the temptation of being a three-time World Cup champion. 1970 world cup, Pele established his position as the king of the ball. For England, Banks saved his header, leaving a great "century save"; For Czechoslovakia, Bailey's hanging shot in the midfield was amazing; For Uruguay, others run around the goalkeeper. Although he missed the shot, he was still considered as the most creative pass.
In a famous final against Italy, Pele headed the first goal, which was Brazil's first 100 World Cup goal. "My father scored five headers in a game, so it was great that I scored with a header this time ..." Bailey said after the game. After the goal, he assisted his teammates to score twice, Brazil won the Rimet Cup permanently, and Pele also achieved the great cause of winning three World Cups. Italian defender Borgniche, who watched Pele in the final, said: "Before the game, I told myself that Pele was the same material as us, but I was wrong." From 1958 to 1970, Pele participated in four World Cups and won the championship three times. Pele is the only player who has won the World Cup three times in history. He is called the king of the World Cup. In the four World Cups, Pele scored 12 goals, second only to Cristiano Ronaldo, Mueller and Fontaine, and tied for fourth place in the top scorer list. After the 70 World Cup, Pele announced his retirement from Brazil. He scored 77 goals in 92 games for the national team. 1974, Pele announced his retirement, and Santos permanently sealed his 10 jersey. 1975, new york cosmos invited Bailey to come out of the mountain again, and the king played there for another two years. 19771kloc-0/,Pele played a half game for Santos and Cosmos in the commemorative match, which was the last game of his football career. At the end of 2000, Pele was named one of the two greatest players in the 20th century by FIFA.
