The greatest football player of all time, in my opinion, is Edson Arantes do

Nascimento, better known as Pelé.He was given the nickname "Dico" by

his family at first, but it is believed that he was given the nickname "Pelé"
in his school years because of how he mispronounced the name of his
favorite player, the local Vasco da Gama goalkeeper Bilé.He was born on
October 23rd, 1940 in Três Coraçes, Brazil into a poor family. He is the first
child born to Joo Ramos and Dona Celeste and was named after Thomas
Edison. When Pelé was a young child, his family relocated to the city of
Bauru.

Pele
Being a poor boy who was able to fulfill his ambitions and keep the
promise he made to his father by becoming the greatest football player in
history has intrigued me the most about his life.He and his friends were
forced to steal clothing off of hangers and stuff it into socks due to their
financial situation. They bounced the ball from knee to head to chest to
foot to show that money isn't everything. Once they could, they chased
and kicked and enjoyed themselves in the only way they knew how as it
bounced over roofs and onto sleeping sea urchins.
Later that night, when he and his friends couldn't watch the 1950 World
Cup game between Brazil and Uruguay on television, Pele and his friends
snuck onto the roof of the neighborhood's tavern. There, they peered in
and listened to the radio commentary while half of the town eagerly
awaited the outcome of the match.
The viewers are utterly devastated when Brazil loses. Pelé 's Dad, who was
in the crowd, was in tears as he heard that his favorite team had lost. When
Pelé notices this, he tells his dad that one day he will win the World Cup for
Brazil.
His father once tried to play football, but due to a terrible injury, his career
ended too soon, and they were forced to live in poverty. His mother, who
works as a maid in a mansion, urges him to give up football because she
doesn't want him to experience what his father went through.
Pele's debut match took place in his hometown rather than an international
venue. He assembled a team with his friends, but they were unable to buy
shoes, any uniform-related items, or equipment due to their financial
situation. As a result, the town and other teams made fun of them.That
didn't stop them from showing their talent and winning the game flawlessly
moving up to the finals though,as they acquired a lot of skill from kicking a
ball about the town all those years.
But when they learned they would be playing against them, the other team
was so intimidated by them that they teased them, calling them the
shoeless ones. Pele and his team came up with a plan after deciding that
they couldn't show up to the finals without shoes. They made the decision
to steal some peanuts and sell them to pay for shoes when they saw a
peanut truck unloading filled bags.They fled after being seen by the truck
owners. Their rivals in the finals saw them selling peanuts and decided to
taunt them. They got into a fight when Pele lost his patience with the
taunts.
He misled his mother about the bruises on his body, but after seeing the
real incident his father decided to have a private talk with him, telling him
that if he wants to play professionally, he cannot let his emotions get the
better of him.
Although he was appreciative of his father's support, on the day of the
championship game, his team's shoes were too big, but they still wore
them out of shame over how poorly they lived. The oversized shoes made
it extremely difficult to play, giving the opposing team an advantage,
increasing the score to 6 nil and making it appear hopeless, which
infuriates Pele.
Before allowing his emotions to control him, he glances at his father, who
is watching from the crowd, and decides to take off his shoes, which
causes the crowd to laugh. Once he has the ball, he dribbles around the
other team brilliantly and scores their first goal.Seeing this, his team does
the same, ditching their shoes and being true to themselves. From then on,
the game took a huge turn as Pele and his team began to dominate.
The final score was 5-6, and even though they were defeated, they were
nonetheless proud of their accomplishment. At the end of the game, they
noticed the people who stole the peanuts the previous day, and they gave
chase to Pelé and his friends fleeing into the jungle. It started to rain
heavily as Pele and one of his friends hid in a ground-level burrow, but the
area was shaken by a landslide. His friend was crushed to death while they
were attempting to escape the burrow.
Pele was devastated and felt responsible for the passing of his friend.
Although his mother pleaded for him to accompany him to work, the boy's
father was more focused on getting his son to smile once more. Even
playing football with his friends was no longer something Pele wanted to
do. Pele starts to practice with his father during work hours not long after
his natural instinct returns. Mangoes were simply being bounced off of his
knees and chest, nothing fancy.
Pele is still assisting his father in business at the age of 15. One day, he
arrived home to find Waldemar de Brito, a local professional football club's
scout, waiting for him. De Brito had been keeping an eye on him for a
while. His playing style did not translate to the professional team, or rather,
the coach did not want that style of play on his team, and that was a
terrible beginning. He must stop bouncing the ball off his knee, the coach
advises. He tried for a while but gave up because it wasn't his style of play.
Waldemar confronted him about his playing style while he was waiting at
the bus stop.

Waldemar de Brito
He inquires as to the history of the so-called ginga style, which dates back
to the time of slavery when Africans used music to teach themselves how
to fight. After it was banned, they adapted this technique to football, which
is the style that most people use without realizing it. The only issue is that
it is overly showy,and many people believed it contributed to Brazil's 1950
World Cup defeat. He advised him to either muster the courage to reveal
his true self to the world or to board that bus and leave.
During his first football match, he tries to be a truer version of himself, but
he falters as it isn't his style of play. Then he remembers his father in their
training and sees Waldemar encouraging him, and he decides to let go and
be himself, and as expected, he proves himself and why he is considered
one of the best players today. The coach, taken aback, summoned him and
asked, "What was that?" Pele apologized, but the coach said, "Do it again."
He made his senior team debut at the age of 15 against Corinthians de
Santo André and had an impressive performance in a 7–1 victory, scoring
the first goal of his prolific career during the match.
When his method of play was found to be successful, he set about building
successful teams and establishing his reputation. His performance gets so
good that he is soon promoted to his team's professional squad and starts
competing in all-national games. He is significantly younger than everyone
else, but he still manages to stand out. His parents are proud of him, and
they become even more so when he is chosen to play for Brazil in the
World Cup. The coach insisted that Pele play correctly, which resulted in
him suffering a serious injury during practice after journalists criticized the
ginga style as rude and barbaric during a press conference.
Brazil begins the World Cup by winning a few games, but the competition
is fierce, and several players sustain injuries, forcing Pele to play. Because
he hadn't fully recovered, the idea left him shaken, and the coach once
more instructed him to play football the conventional way. He felt a sense
of belonging when he took the field. He stuck to the game plan and played
as the coach instructed, despite the other team's disdain towards him, and
they were able to win.
Things got off to a rocky start after they advanced to the semi-final. Pele
plays in his own manner and remembers why he started playing the game
in the first place. He finished with three goals, winning the game.
The coach insisted on training as the finals drew near because he thought
traditional play was the only way they would succeed. Pele calls his dad for
guidance because the team is lost. Like when he was a child, his father
advises him to bring the team together and boost their morale. He
challenged the team to avoid bouncing the ball on the ground in order to
accomplish this. Despite failing to make it, the group believed they had
already triumphed. When the coach sees this, he realizes he was mistaken,
and he orders them to disregard everything he had predicted they would
do and instead play the ginga.
As was to be expected, the Swedes quickly took control of the game and
scored their goal, but this time Pele didn't give up. He fought back in the
classic ginga fashion, which spurred the team to an immediate goal. Brazil
picks up speed immediately after that and turns into a runaway train. They
moved around the Swedish team without difficulty, scoring one goal after
another, and appearing to be playing a completely different game. It was
amazing how 17-year-old Pelé led Brazil to a 5-2 victory over Sweden by
scoring two outstanding goals.
As the final whistle blows, he collapses to the ground, knowing that he has
kept his promise to his father.His teammates flocked to him and lifted him
onto their shoulders as the entire stadium yells for Brazil.
