Many will say, Pele (also known as Edison to do, "Edson" Arantes do Nascimento) is the greatest player of all time, but I wonder what those who support them to assert their own ideas? Objectives, yes it is true that Pele has scored more goals than any other player in history. 1281 when goals scored in 1363 games, even if we took this statistic does not say, it looks like the whole story, we must consider several factors. The first is that that number is about 200 or maybe evenPele scored more goals in two games test (some of which are against amateur teams) and those marked in the army during his stay in Brazil. Second is that Pele played most of his career in the Brazilian championship, and although few, if any, I would say this is not a very competitive league, is one in which the defense is almost completely ignored in favor of the attack.
This naturally makes it much easier for a player who scores goals in Brazil in itsItaly, for example, where teams are more focused on defensive play, especially in those days. A third factor that Pele played in a time more open to the world of football in general, teams with less than five to go forward is playing against two defenders. We also keep in mind that Eusébio 733 games and 745 goals scored in an incredible performance, and the hardware Gerd (Gerd) Muller scored 68 goals in 62 games for the Federal Republic of Germany and 498 goals in 565 games for the threeHe played for the club. Of course, consider that achieved in the military service and exhibition games were neither Eusebius nor reflected Mueller recorded.
I for one would like to ask if you really can base the quality of a player on goals alone? For example, in basketball, scoring both Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone as many points as Michael Jordan, but that necessarily means better than him, just because this statistic was that? Of course I am notGates argues that he did not make sense, we can say that the only factor that determines who should be the best was? Of course, if such a thing can never really be fully developed.
Another factor, which in my opinion can not be ignored when considering the being, where Pele is one of the greatest players of all time, is that he played in an era when the game was very definitely and clearly slower. It seemed as if there are games played in the late 50s and 60s(Pele-era) were played in slow motion, especially compared to today's game.
Of course, technology, another aspect that has developed beyond all comparison. This is a time when Pele's ability to trick several times on his knees, chest, head, shoulders and feet was unusual, but today is something that can be done by a professional player in any league and even some of the players. Since this is a bit 'like Bob Cousy ofThe Boston Celtics, who in his time could dribble the ball between the legs and the ball behind his back, which was considered revolutionary at the time another day in the NBA become the standard.
Another factor to consider in all of these, which in those days, for most teams do not have much in terms of strategy. When the teams took to the field, hoping it would be his talent and his individual players enough to win. This means that essentiallydo not make plans on how to stop a particular player, as would many years later, in the case of Maradona. Maradona is in fact a player, coach and players of similar tapes in the hope of spotting a weakness that could be used during the game, it would have been observed. This is unheard of in time, Pele.
Another factor related to Pele, the point is that many times he has won three World Cups and in fact is the only player to have to do to this day, I ask: "Whatreally means to win a world championship in team sports? ". It 'just say the team that will end up winning the title? This even though they say not to play a major reason for the team or does not it? Too that this is largely on the individual point of view , answering the question but the situation was as follows depends.
In 1962 Brazil won the World Cup in Chile still only Pele played in Brazil for the first two games, and not for the returnthe rest of the tournament. This means that not only lost the final, but has also lost the semi-finals, quarter finals and Brazil in the last game of the first round. Pele's Brazil, a fact not yet finished the second game, when he left injured. This is despite the lack of foul or affected in any way by the opposing team, that on this occasion was Czechoslovakia.
But I believe that in all this that one of the many reasons Pele is considered the greatest playerever, is that when you think carefully on the issue, was one of the first players many people actually saw him play in a World Cup. Of course, the first World Cup was played in Uruguay in 1930, but to be honest. How many people actually saw this World Cup? This is a case of slow these days due to transportation and the cost of travel, people do not travel in their thousands to watch a World Cup, as they do today. Of course, even in mind that in many European countriesCountries like Germany and Italy not to travel claims, travel expenses as part of their reason. All this means that the first World Cup was a relatively small number of live viewers at a time, if not the game around the world as the television and now the only material we have are the games that is so unclear (black and white) that is also something difficult to see let alone to appreciate the action. Of course there have been major players in the World Cup of Castro, CeaStable and other people, but how many actually got to see, so they play? Obviously, we can see statistics of what they did in games played, but it hardly tells us how well or there would have been allowed to appreciate their true ability to read.
In 34 of the World Cup in Italy, with almost none of the players who played in Uruguay played next. This means that they do not have the opportunity to demonstrate their talents in a second time. It 'a case that Uruguay has not chosen to play in Italybecause Italy has not played in Argentina and Uruguay who have problems with their players since 1930, was forced to use, all new players who were eliminated in the first game.
The World Cup in 34, but as the 30 also had great players and play again, few people saw them as this was the first of these meetings was broadcast worldwide on television. This means that only very few have the opportunity to actually see the big players must play at that time and you are limited to read onlyabout them in newspapers and again uncertain with most of the material. The World Cup France 38 was not much different. Once again the South American teams did not participate (Brazil is the only exception) and again the games only from those who have actually participated with movies so you can see a little ', but saw the ball lands on the network and little else has occurred previously. All this means that services should be great or what should be suchalmost lost and will probably never see.
It was at this point, the second World War, the world championships, which were not held again until 1950, once again did the same thing that the world stops to look at everything he knew players. Over 12 years since the last World Cup was gone. Uruguay is going to the World Cup in 1950 to win by defeating Brazil in their final game. This game is not really a final.
Uruguay, at the time, with great players like Varella, Schiaffino and GhiggiaMiguez. Ademir Brazil, where elevated markers of every World Cup when the games were not television and video games or what little there is of it is not clear, not even good for the corner to see what really happened to be adopted.
The World Cup in 54 was pretty much play the same and once again, very few players actually have more than a World Championship for many reasons. It is not from the second world war in their countries participating in the WorldCup, for reasons not related to football. Since this game is the case with the European team's decision not to play in Uruguay 30, while the teams of South America has decided, not in Italy 34 and France 38 European teams, of course, at that time he was weakened by World War II , knew he had at least a whole generation of them that could be the great soccer player. This application in particular in those countries that had already been heavily involved in the war and it was thanks to hislost more men like Britain, Germany, Italy, Soviet Union, along with many others. Of course, compared to South America, World War II as a factor does not play like a South American countries, for the most part, or not to participate in war and those who had only made very limited role.
For the moment the World Cup in 1958, which was hosted in Sweden, came to a football match score was almost the complete action, in which the teams were almost at will. It seemed incredible, maybefew hours a day, as reported in previous World Championships (Switzerland 54) 140 goals scored, of which only seven were from the penalty spot. The record of 140 goals in a World Cup was finally broken in Spain, 82 per game is still honestly believe that the gates will never be. It 'been a truly amazing 5.38 goals per game, in what I can only imagine must be a festival of goals, where teams have completely ignored his defensive concepts have been made.
During this World Cup,Hungary despite not winning the tournament was an incredible 27 goals in 5 games. This is a report which I doubt will ever be broken, despite the teams play seven games hours a day, or at least those that are up to the semifinals. Hungary "Kocsis' with 11 goals and the record of goals scored by a player in a World Cup and this once again, despite only five games. This record could be broken but in Sweden, 58 from France, Fontaine, who scored 13 goalsbut his coming in six games. Another record was set in Switzerland was 54, for the most goals in a game that, if Austria beat Switzerland 7-5, which is surprising in itself, but what was perhaps even more incredible that Austria nor a penalty during the game came.
It 'easy to see, or at least it is in my opinion, because then the game was almost completely different from what it is today. This is a time when teams are not afraid of the loss was defensive, wasgenerally ignored, as teams with four or five to go forward against two defenders. In all these important additional factor is that the first 58 games of Swedish is not really on TV but it was in this particular World Cup matches, which began on television in the world, or at least in those countries that football is shown below .
Of course in all this there is also significant to note that the input end of the 50s not many people around the worldThe television, but at that time was that prices have come down to which many of them are not necessarily rich people could at least have a set. This naturally makes the opportunity to see many of the big matches and players of the time. These read as easily as you see in newspapers or movies that were not only short but clearly appreciated and taken from angles that make very little could be really opposed.
Introduced in Sweden 58 Brazil truly extraordinaryTeam with the likes of Vava, Didi (known for his unique style of curling free kicks), Zagalo, Nilton Santos and Mazola (named after the Italian player of the time). Of course, Brazil also had Pele and Garrincha in this team but they were not starters or at least not at the beginning of the tournament. This is Pele, who was considered too young, but Garrincha was considered not severe enough as a player. Many have the impression that he is not in the field, but simply to winhave fun with his dribbling.
As for the rest of the team that Hungary had in the World Cup even before the failed uprising of 56 large, deserted many of the larger players like Puskas, Kocsis and Toth in the West and not entitled to a refund of their country, not far to play in the World Cup. This means that Hungary was virtually forced to work with a new group of players who have not owned any game where near as talented as the giants of54 teams.
Germany had the last World Cup were actually less motivated to become champion after winning and older. Fritz Walter, with retired or were asked to return to play despite 38 years of age at the time. Rahn was instrumental in their winning campaign of 54, but was, like many players on the team with 58 players in Germany, spent his first.
Argentina had a great team in the early 50s, who had given them multiple victories in the Copa America (SouthAmerican version of European Cup of Nations), many of their players were really old. Uruguay, which does not even qualify for their part, despite having won two world championships and reaching the semifinals in another of the five world championships, which was set up and played up to this point. This is all the more remarkable because only participated in three of the five world championships.
The tournament began with Brazil winning its first game with a comfortable 3-0Margin on Austria, in fact, in the third World Cup, or that he had come for some reason, could convince the fans at home. Mazola two Brazilians on his part has three goals, while the third was marked by Nilton Santos, but despite two goals; Mazola did not survive after many expectations. All this leads me to wonder how much a player must do to please people in Brazil?
Brazil's next match was against England, which ended in a draw 0-0.This is a fact that the first game of World Cup history in a goalless draw. And 'this bad result, or that what is seen as such at the time of changing line-up in Brazil, led by their coach. And 'the player who actually took the matter into their own hands and insisted that Pele and Garrincha made the starting team. This means that Mazola (strangely his name spelled with a Z as the Italian way, which is opposed to two) wasthe team left for reasons that I think are odd, mainly because he was top scorer in Brazil at that time. Mazola, however, would continue to 216 destinations in Italy "Serie A" score. This walk is a sum so far leaves him tied for third place with Giuseppe Meazza stadium of all time list in Serie A. Mazola was also to play for Italy in the World Cup in Chile 1962
Brazil's next game was against the Soviet Union, who defeated 2-0 with two goalsreached by Vava. This is a player who in my opinion does not always get the recognition he deserved for a very talented striker, who scored 9 goals in two World Championships. Vava also the first player to score in two World Cup final. In this game, not even Pele, Garrincha scored both have a good feeling that they are allowed to keep their starting places for the quarter-final meeting with Brazil Wales. Play Pele is perhaps even more impressive, since it has only17 at the time and I am the youngest ever in a World Cup and played up until then. This unheard of for someone young at the time even on a national team plays in the league much less actually going out there and play.
Twenty years later, Maradona in Argentina to World Cup-winning team would benefit from their coach Menotti, who was too young to feel the 17 team to a World Cup on the left. Of course, even if Maradona had the teamIt is doubtful that he could play at least have to say about the team that won the World Cup will be. That being the case, then Ronaldo, who was also in the USA 94 years would still only 17 years, despite this, it was the Brazilian World Cup winners team, even if not get to play in each of their games.
Brazil's next match was against Wales, were strong favorites to beat, although he played well the clear losers Welch. Brazil only in the situationto defeat a 1-0 with a goal from Pele, not until the 66 minutes of the game came Mark. This makes Pele, the youngest player to score in the history of the World Cup. It 'hard to say that this is a brilliant performance from Brazil and Pele against a team like Wales was still weak in spite of what may be a lack luster performance, Brazil has made its way to the third semi-final in six Cups world.
Brazil's next opponent would be France, who had scored 8 Just FontaineGoals in four games. This was seen by many as the last, or at least the game should be the last. The game started as Vava scoring for Brazil with only the first 2 minutes of play, but things at Fontaine for France to look at a piece that promised only 7 minutes later. The game was developed in any case to be a classic, but it was eventually taken to balance objective of France, the disaster for France. This should be in the form of one of their defenders will be removedthe field due to an injury. Of course, in this analysis, we must not forget that in those days, teams were allowed to replace players and played with only two defenders.
Did not take long for France, who played with 10 men and go without one of their two defenders in the scoreboard again. The aim of Brazil is coming on the 39 th minute of play when Didi to the rear of the French network in Brazil found that they would not give an advantageRest of the game. Brazil at that time was to win and fight clearly dominated by France, to compensate for their numerical disadvantage.
The second half started with Brazil clearly in command, and seek their guidance, which they did, when Pelé scored in the 52 th minute to increase the score of 3-1, so that everything is settled in Brazil in favor. Would Pele but once again the guests of 64 and 75 minute mark of the game to his total of three goals for increasingGame four of the tournament, the youngest player ever hat-trick in a World Cup guests. This has led to some impressive in terms of statistics. But I believe that the numbers do not always tell the whole story. And 'one of these goals was basically a simple tap in from a cross of Garrincha, the French goalkeeper dove to now only been able to slow down, but only that Pele was the task, but with the ball in an open networkliterally feet from the tree goal. Of course it is also against a team that was all too aware that the chances were that they are not going to win this game.
Of course, you could say he scored three goals in a game, but this was a world cup in which many players have managed to get two or three goals in a game. Fontaine, even the management of four in the match against Germany for third place. Maybe not so much convinced that Pele's three goals in aGame, but that he did at such a young age. This type of beings like Mozart, whose compositions as a child were not unusual in any way other than that, prepared by a person so young.
Brazil went into the final against Sweden, playing in a match where only a few guests may have no real chance to beat Brazil, but would not be the first time that Brazil has one final, where he lost heavily to favorites win. Many Brazilians still remember whathappens in the Maracana in 1950, but this was highly unlikely to happen again, but that was always a possibility.
Zsolt left, in Sweden, in turn, has had the last match against Germany 3-1 in a game very controversial, come in several poor calls by the referee Hungarian. Zsolt maybe a little revenge on Germany, Hungary, Puskas goal for Switzerland in the final 54, which was wrongly ruled to have been out the sides. Despite or perhaps because of itFactor, however, went to Germany's defeat in Sweden in a match also called for a foul on Walter F. circle, which in fact led him out of the game.
The final between Brazil and Sweden, began surprisingly with Sweden taking first blood when he was only four minutes of the game, Liedholm their lead. As a note, I would like Liedholm was noticed at the age of 35 and is the oldest player to always be a goal in an endnote. At this point, perhaps some of theThe doubt might have crept back into the minds of many Brazilians, but with memories of past failures, this was a team of World Cup, the solid, through and through. And 'so in my opinion, but Pele was another great player in this powerful team.
Brazil does not take much to implementation issues in one piece. Draw Brazil to come in the 9-minute mark of the game when Vava met again for Brazil. The game was tied to a piece and 10 minutes is notAlso gone. This game is similar to their previous match with France. Brazil at that time was clearly dominant, showing that the initial goal, but Sweden was a fluke that he had only managed to capture a moment in the guard.
Of course, with a predominance of Brazil had the lead, and must give up not to take for the rest of the game. It comes when Vava scored again 32 minutes into the game. At the end of the first half by 2-1 to Brazil was still the onlyWhat is surprising about this result is that Brazil has not scored more goals and Sweden was still in the game.
It was the mark of 55 minutes, however, that the history of Pele made by the visitors 3-1 in favor of Brazil and the two became the youngest player to score in a World Cup final with putting together the competition at the end of this game. Pele's goal, in my opinion there is nothing sensational in the minds of many, was seen as an excellent objectiveperhaps because it is the work of a 17-year-old has been. For my part, I can only imagine what that Maradona had been allowed to play for Argentina in 78, but it should be. As for the goal itself, even Pele was in the penalty area, where most of his time in a similar way as Ronaldo, many years later. And 'there he received a pass and raced in Sweden Gustavsson. This makes the ball goes straight into the air and fall to the right place (in what I considera lucky bounce) for Pele in for a goal just four yards from goal line to beat Sweden. It 'was to some extent a spectacular goal, but I think it unlikely that one a lot of skill required. When the ball as it tends to do in football, track and bounce Pele easy as it is blown, he could do it in another.
Pele's goal, however, has more or less regular issues, which would sample the Swedish public as well as given up hope. It was then that Zagalo addedfourth for Brazil in the 68 th minute of the game that matters even more, who wanted to win the game. Sweden, however, the score a little 'more respectable, if Simonsson scored 12 minutes after the end Zagalo but this has done little to change something. The game was at this point, clearly with a good 4-2 Brazil and Sweden, although only one had got back. I do not believe that someone was such an optimistic spirit in Sweden, believe that in the remaining 10 minutes, youcould the two goals that sent the game was tied and they score in overtime.
Brazil was clearly the sample, and it was just how the game went the referee that Pele scored a goal yet, which was in fact the 90 minute of play are completed, the final result of 5-2. These come from a center, but Pele was the perfect touch the ball in the head of goalkeeper of Sweden, and 'caught in the middle of the cross or go out and meet the residence of hisTarget.
Brazil is the world champion, was without a doubt, Pele, and with them all and win the tender age of 17 years in large part was part of a larger group, which was certainly one of the best ever in a Cup the world game. Of course, Pele scoring six goals in four games, but again there was nothing particularly spectacular when you consider that Fontaine was completed with only two more games with 13 goals (a record which still stands) for the tournament . All in oneTournament in which falls were 126 goals in just 35 games and, although neither the quantity nor the average of the objectives were as high as it was in 54, was still very offensive the world cup. I believe that the reason was the amount of total goals down not so much for playing more defensive in any way, but due to the decline in Hungary in a position to score as there is no game as the highest score Austria against Switzerland. As proof, weable to enter the high score in this World Cup by Fontaine 13 goals in a single World Cup, who have been together seven goals in the past. The match for third place and a record of a game with 9 goals, which gave a value of 6-3 in favor with France against Germany.
First World Cup Pele was undoubtedly a great success. Why, how else can we describe as a goal scored second (tied with Rahn of Germany) and the team with six, which were obtainedWorld Cup, and all at 17 years still to a large extent, was a stranger, like the World Cup began. Pele started with not even a game until the third game in Brazil. All this leads me to believe that maybe other teams did not hold for such a threat and are more focused on stopping Brazil's well-established players like Didi, Santos, Vava and Zagalo. Pele Garrincha also, that seemed to set goals of capacity, as if they were wrapped gifts for those who havebelow.
