Hello steemians, hope you are doing great.

You cannot talk about the best athletes in history and do not mention the name of the Brazilian legend Pelé, who led his country to crown the World Cup three times.

"The King" was one of the most goal-scoring players

Pelé was nicknamed "The King" and was one of the most goal-scoring players. He was able to win the World Cup in 3 copies, and for what he achieved during the 22 years of his career, he won many accolades that crowned his football history.

Pele won many nicknames for his many footballing achievements, so they called him "the black jewel, the king, the king of the ball," and he was nicknamed "Deco" in his place of origin, which means warrior

He loved playing football from a young age, and only possessed his innate talent that made him the first black international sports star.

Because of him, football was calling the "beautiful game" and the "beautiful team" for the Brazilian national team.

Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈɛdsõ(w) aˈɾɐ̃tʃiz du nasiˈmẽtu]; 23 October 1940 – 29 December 2022), better known by his nickname Pelé (Portuguese pronunciation: [peˈlɛ]), was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a forward. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, he was among the most successful and popular sports figures of the 20th century. In 1999, he was named Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee and was included in the Time list of the 100 most important people of the 20th century. In 2000, Pelé was voted World Player of the Century by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) and was one of the two joint winners of the FIFA Player of the Century. His 1,279 goals in 1,363 games, which includes friendlies, is recognised as a Guinness World Record.

He loved football, and wished he would change his name and make it "Adison Arantes Donasimunto Football". He said about his upbringing, "I was born poor in a small house built of bricks. It was not a solid house, and it could collapse at any moment, and its miserable condition was evident." Later, the street in which this house was located was called "Pele."

If you ever get to meet him/ her what will you say to him?

Pele's dream, which he always repeated to his colleagues, was, "One day, I will be strong like my father."
This is the same dream I repeat since I was born.

If I ever meet Pelé I would say to him that I got inspired from legends like him.

Thank you very much for your participation! Yeah, you can say. He is the king in Football and a great king in entire sports. His legacy, his impact on the game is truly unmatching. The documentary, Pelé: Birth of a Legend shows nicely what he went through his life.

Anyway you could have written on your own, and provide the source, without taking the whole pharagraph from the wikipedia.

Good luck with the contest!!

Thanks for your feedback bro 🙂. Will take into account your remarks

Indeed he is one of the greatest and my favorite too. I actually wrote about him too. All the best to you

Exactly friend, all fans should be proud of a player like him
All the best to you too 👍
