Pelé is recognized worldwide for what he contributed to soccer. The magic with which he won three World Cups and with which he inflated thousands of nets was conquering the hearts of all soccer fans who were lucky enough to see him play live. For those who couldn’t make it, DIEZ brings you some of his best goals.
The three-time world champion (1958, 1962 and 1970) scored 1,282 goals in 1,367 games. The search is intense, but there are some unforgettable pearls.
– The goal of the 4 ‘hats’
Pelé caused a sensation during the match between Santos and Club Atlético Juventus in the Paulista League in 1959. Back then, the 19-year-old star made four ‘hats’ inside the box to make the defenders dizzy. The definition was upside down for the ‘Peixe’ merriment.
There is no real audiovisual material, only a 3D recreation of the goal.
– The goal number 1000
Although it was not somewhat elaborate, it remained in the memory of many by representing that amazing figure. It happened in 1962, in the second leg of the Intercontinental Cup against Benfica from Portugal. It was a penalty kick.
– Goal in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico
Pelé was playing his last World Cup, and decided to take a free kick with a bomb against Romania. It was the goal that guided Brazil to a 3-2 win over the Romanians.
– Goal in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden
Pelé was already 18 years old and had an outstanding performance in the Group Phase. The consecration was against Sweden, in the grand final in which he became a figure and helped his team defeat the local team 5-2. He took the ball in the area, threw a hat at a defender and finished first. Great goal.
The goalscoring count is endless, just like the great goals that O Rei scored. But these goals are only a small sample of what Pelé really was. Today, with health problems and with the entire world of football watching over him, tributes and tributes always go down well.
