Raymar, which videos r planing to do in the future, can i give u some ideas???

[@arturovenegas3835]

Xavi Georgio look IMO, only pure career acheivements, i think is a either Maradona or Johan Cruyff, Maradona won a WC, he won 2 league titles with Napoli and a UEFA Cup, and also played for Barca. Johan Cruyff won 3 Champions League, but i dont count the Champions Leagues cause back than, teams didnt take it seroious as like right now, he won a title with Barca and won 3 Ballon D' Or. I cant say who was the best skill footballer because it was different back then as of now, but by career achievements, Maradona and Cruyff r my Top 2

I agree with the conclusion but not necessarily the arguments. A better argument would be that he never played the tough super competitive European football and never won the champions league which is the pinnacle of football these days. I mean seriously if you guys watch European football the world cup games would seem boring and monotonous. Second, defenders are much fitter now and teams have the luxury to observe players video and develop strategy to handle them in the game. That didn't exist during Peles time. To me Messi is the greatest footballer of all time and Pele doesn't even come close. I would put Maradona, Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of him.

Everything we see in football today Pelé did first, absolute legend that can't be matched. Pelé played in a time where football wasn't as big it is today and he made the world cherish for him, football got a spike in popularity during the 60's and it's mostly because of him. Measuring skills is hard, he might not be the best of all time but he is the greatest

[@chalkandcheese1868]

Not really, by far the most important factor in spreading the popularity of football was satellite television, and the world didn't start in 1958, there were plenty of great players before Pele.

[@jalcruces]

@@chalkandcheese1868 The most important factor in spreading the popularity of football was certainly NOT satellite television... although satellite television existed in the early 60s. Pelé was perhaps the greatest ambassador for soccer and when the U.S. started the NASL league, Pelé was their ambassador and played for the New York Cosmos. Soccer/football experienced a HUGE upsurge in the U.S. and Pelé, along with Kyle Rote Jr., Laurie Calloway, and other international stars made soccer more popular than ever in the U.S. This sort of popularity never came again until several years after the 1994 WC. Nothing to do with satellite television... and it´s popularity world wide superceded the popularity of Satellite TV. I am guessing that you weren´t born till after all this occurred.

[@chalkandcheese1868]

@@jalcruces If you think the most important factor in spreading the popularity of soccer was not television you're insane. The 1970 World Cup was the first to be televised in colour, and that brought it to life for many viewers around the world, and the big European club matches started to be televised around the world as well, all vital factors in spreading the gospel. Pele was certainly the first global ambassador for the game, but he was not responsible for the spread in popularity of the game. As far as being too young, I remember watching the 1978 World Cup mate, and I'm not even much of a soccer fan. Anyway RIP the king of soccer Pele.

[@azlastor]

Even not considering that... He would have over 100 penalties like Messi and Ronaldo too... way softer football in general with the referee eager to award free kicks for things that don't even amount to a tackle... He could flop like most top flight footballers of today to get calls and get the call half the time and also a nice field, equipment and ball to play with consistency. Offside was harsher back then since you where deemed offside if in line with the defender, that only changed in 1990. The yellow card was introduced in 1970 so not so egregious fouls could add up to an ejection... and in that way reduce rough play. it's just silly trying to compare and conclude that just because Pele stats are padded (which they are... brazil football has some easy matches in the calendar) he is overrated... you can't pretend that modern football penalty takers don't have their stats padded. (Messi has 99/128, Ronaldo 139/166 penalties scored/taken which is just silly) and that's penalties alone... ignoring all of this in the making of this video is just whatever... can't be taken seriously.

I don't deny that, but his opponents didnt have benefits like that as well. If he were to play against a mediocre defence or team nowadays, with everybody having the latest 'technology' he still wouldn't perform that good people think he would. The defending tactics have improved drastically after he retired as a player, e.g. the invention of the back foor. Additionally, and that goes for everything related and based in progress, things develop with time. There is no way you could expect a defender back in Pele's era to have those qualities a defender nowadays has. It would be way more harder to dribble past the defence if you try it nowadays.

Pele was not over rated by any standard. His description was just as it was presented today because he was a complete footballer who used all the three departments needed as a great footballer to score goals and brought joys to the heart of the spectators and fans . He used both right and his left legs to dribble, pass balls accurately and score with both . He used his head effectively to score and no player today have those qualities. He even score goals with his chest and he was team player on the field who gave passes to mates who was more advantageous to score than him to score for the team .

The fact is that football had never seen a player like him before (with respect to Puskas and Stefano, Pele was technically unmatched). You can’t look at the past with modern eyes. His ability and influence has probably contributed to the modern footballer, especially with that 70s Brazil side. I would argue R9 was the closest player to Pele in terms of ability before the game really became more defensive. If your still in the debate for GOAT 50 years after you retired, it truly shows how impactful you are.

@@quitrap8289 These strict rules are the ones that enable players like Messi and Ronaldo to play the way they do. No back tackles! Just that alone gives Messi the freedom to run without thinking about what's behind him. No back pass to goalkeeper enables teams like Barcelona to pressure teams and win the ball back quickly which leads to many of the goals Messi and others have scored. More caution and strict rules when jumping for ball gives Ronaldo an advantage in corners and free kicks when jumping to head balls. More strict rules on sliding tackles and just tackling in general means both Messi and Ronaldo and other stars in this generation are more protected and defenders more cautious. Pele played without these rules and managed not just to shine but change the way the game was being played. Not Overrated at all.

He said that alot of Peles goals was scored in friendlies and against poor teams. That is false because 78% of those goals were scored against top tier first division teams. And friendlies didnt carry the low importance that they do today, the proof of this is that Pele has virtually the same goal per game ratio in competitive and friendly games (0.92 and 0.94) and he brought up goals scored in the military which was only 13 goals. He also brought up high scoring games and tried to make a false narrative out of it. The Santos of Pele only played in 14 games where they scored 8 goals or more. Now remember that Pele played 1400 games so he tried to make a false narrative out of literally 1% of Peles games. He clearly doesnt know what he’s talking about, just throwing out slanderous accusations without knowledge. He also used the brazilian Juventus as an example of this but thereby making the viewers think he never played against the Juventus of Italy or scoring against them which he did twice. In fact he has a higher goal ratio against Italian and European teams. . Then he said that the quality of players back then wasnt good and tried to insinuate that modern defenders are better and bringing up Sergio Ramos who isnt a world class defender. In fact it’s the opposite, more classical defendeds played back then than now. I cant think about many classical defenders in the modern game like Giacinto Fachetti, Tarcisio Burgnich, Franz Beckenbauer, Bobby Moore, Elias Figueroa, Nilton and Djalma Santos, Karl Heinz Schnelinger etc. Corroboration without evidence is worth nothing. Then he proceeded with a nonsensical argument that supposedly many people think Pele is WC top scorer which is a knock on peoples ignorance, not on Pele. However Pele has the best goal contribution ratio of all time. 12 goals in 13 world cup games and 10 assists aswell which is the world record of assists in the world cup. After that he proceeded saying Pele was ” outperformed” which is false but even more, no such thing exists in a team sport playing games in the world cup because you are there trying to help your team win at all cost, not to stat padd. Secondly he didnt mention that Pele was top scorer of Brazil at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden as a SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD!! And won best Young player. Then he said that Pele ”wasnt even the top scorer in 1970 instead Jairzinho was” but foolishly failing to mention who in fact it was that gave Jairzinho many assists setting the current standing world record of assists in a single wc tournament and the wc assist record in total. He should also have mentioned that Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona and many other great players never were top scorers in the world cup. After that he amusingly brought up Luis Felipe Scolari quoting him as saying that Pele knows nothing about football. But I ask you what the heck has that got to do with anything about Pele as a football player?? Felipe Scolari the same man who managed Brazil to a historic 1-7 defeat against Germany at home. He also said Pele only has two World Cups because he got injured but that’s not a knock on Pele or any other player getting injured like Messi in the 2006 Champions League or Brazilian Ronaldo not playing a single minut at the 1994 World Cup. Finally he proceeded to name some marvelous Pele records and immidately after that blithely and inanely calling him ”the most overrated player of all time” what a bafoon.

He defeated those chants by scoring and winning the prestigious Libertadores title.

Pele popularised football, and he played a major role to the popularity of football today world wide. Pele was the first GOAT no matter what people think nobody can take this achievement from him just like nobody can deny the fact that Yuri Gagarin was the first human to go to space.

[@jonhwesley2011]

The part about the goals, it's good to remember that Santos decided to tour on Europe beacause of the money, letting Brazil in second place. That's why he has so many unofficial goals. But those goals were against europeans teams.

Thank you

[@wat5]

I truly feels a bit annoying when someone says pele is overrated or compare him to modern days footballer because remember at that times football itself wasn’t that popular and there was no format, sponsor, training technique etc and pele just pops up out of nowhere dominating leagues, creating the standard, the beauty of football and eventually turning himself into a god of football.

If u go to an old brazilian man and ask him about Pelé, he looks down and takes his hat down, because he is "o Rei" (the king) But if you ask him about Garrincha, he looks down and cries, because he was "a alegria do povo" (joy/happiness of the people) this is pretty self explanatory

When Santos went to play the final against Penarol, the headline in the newspaper was like "King kong arrived in Montevideo", there was physical and psychological abuse and the only answer was to play football and not cry on Twitter. There were several stories of the Intercontinental Cup when Europeans went to play in Argentina and Uruguay, bizarre history as players threw stones at European strikers, etc. Only on youtube with portuguese language. "The era of the pelé were poor defenders"...HAHAHAHAHA he absolutely does not know the absurd stories of the Copa Libertadores.

@@firstnamelastname-rz5xl Man there is no comparison between defenders in tha era and today. There was much more violence. Brazialian teams often chose to not participate in Libertadores Cup because of the crazy things could happen in Buenos Aires or Montevideo, things like the policemen beating players during halftime! Nowadays with television and the like the players cant be so violent. Pele was special because he could do that stuff even against so much violent defenders, since he was very strong compared to other players.

[@TheDash35]

Pele was the beat player in his generation. Messi is the goat.

[@Brekner]

He was way more influencial to the game than anyone before and probably since. I'd compare it to chess. The best players of the 60s and 70s would lose 9/10 games against the best players today, but that doesn't mean they weren't great. As you said, times change and sports evolve, but winning something and being the best of your generation can never be taken away.

[@davimonteirodecarvalhojuni8550]

I am just a little unsure about two topics: 1. At that time, most football players who played in their national squad also played for teams inside their own countries, and considering that Brazil was practically dominating world cup titles at that time, it's very likely that Brazil had the best teams, and the best league. Sure there were bad teams as there are bad teams today in top level leagues across Europe - but still, it's likely Brazil had the best league. 2. Santos denied to play official matches (like Copa Libertadores) in order to play friendlies around the world, and, as far as I'm concerned, most of these friendlies were in Europe against the top-tier level teams of their respective countries - and these teams were actually ardously trying to defeat Santos and Pele. Hence, I would assume some of these goals in friendly matches may be not a big deal (e.g. army matches), but as far as I'm concerned (did not do deep research on each match, and how players were motivated to play), most of them were against top level teams of their respective countries seriously playing against Santos and Pele.

[@Aloha698]

That is just a little sample of the Eurocentric mindset 🙄 we stop caring years ago ..

[@lonestar6709]

Only 3 world cups? How about stopping a war? How about the international sporting body awarding him the "Athlete of the Century" award? How about his 1.07 goal per game average against European opposition? But hey... the Euros doubt some of his goals, so they can push their Ronaldo/Messi agenda. So he must be overrated, right? What a joke. Not only is he 'not' overrated. He's actually better than people say he is. That is all.
