When the match was over, Pelé lost consciousness and
fell to the ground, and was revived by "Garrincha". Then he recovered and was
forced to cry as his colleagues were congratulating him. Pele finished the
tournament with 6 goals in 4 matches he played, tied for second place,
behind record breaker Just Fontaine, and was named the best young player in the
tournament. His influence was arguably greater off the pitch, with "Barney Ronay" writing, "With nothing but talent guiding him, the boy from Minas Gerais
became the world's first black sports star and a "true uplifter" and
inspiration".
At the "1958" World Cup, Pelé began wearing the number "10" shirt. The event was the result of disorganization: the CBF leaders did not
allocate shirt numbers to players and it was up to" FIFA" to choose the number 10
shirt for Pelé, who was substituted on the occasion. The press declared Pele

the world. In the first match of the "1962" World Cup in Chile, vs
Mexico, Pelé set up
the first goal and then scored the second goal, after rounding four defenders,
for a 2–0" lead. He injured himself in the next match while attempting a
long-range shot against" Czechoslovakia. This would keep him out for the rest of
the tournament, and coach Aymori Moreira was forced to make his only squad
change of the tournament. The substitute was Amarildo, who performed well for
the rest of the tournament. However, it was Garrincha who would take the lead
and carry Brazil to their second World Cup title, after defeating
Czechoslovakia in the final in Santiago.
World Cup "1966" and
remember the "1966" FIFA World Cup because of the strength that appeared on it,
as personal mistakes abounded in that tournament, and Pele became the first
player to score goals in three World Cup tournaments, and he scored his goal
from a direct free kick in front of the Bulgaria national football team, and
the national team came out Brazil football from the first round in that
tournament for the first time since the "1934" "FIFA "World Cup", and Pele said
after that tournament that he does not want to play in the World Cup again.
Pele was the most
famous soccer player in the world during the "1966" World Cup in England, and
Brazil provided some world champions such as Garrincha and Gilmar
And Gilma Santos,
with the addition of other stars such as Garzinho, Tostao and Gerson, led to
high expectations for them. Brazil was eliminated in the first round, playing
only three matches. The World Cup was marked, among other things, by the brutal
fouls committed against Pele that left him injured by the Bulgarian and
Portuguese defenders.
Pele scored the
first goal from a free kick against Bulgaria, becoming the first player to
score in three consecutive editions of the World Cup finals, but due to his
injury as a result of continuous interference by the Bulgarians, he missed the
second match against Hungary. His coach said that he felt after the first game,
"Every team will treat him the same way." Brazil lost that match and
Pele, though recovered, returned to the final decisive game against Portugal at
Goodison Park in Liverpool by Brazilian coach Vicente Viola. Viola completely
changed the defense, including the goalkeeper, while returning in midfield to
form the first match. During the match, Portugal defender Joao Moraes tackled
Pele, but referee George McCabe did not send him off. a decision that is
retrospectively seen as among the worst refereeing errors in World Cup history.
Pelé had to remain on the field limping for the rest of the match, as
substitutions were not allowed at the time. After this match, he vowed never to
play again in a World "Cup, a decision he would later change. "1970"Mario Zagallo, Brazil "1970" coach, with Pele in "2008 Zagallo said of Pele: “A kid in Sweden "1958" World Cup showed signs of genius, and in Mexico [1970 World Cup] he fulfilled
all that promise and closed the book with a golden key. I was honored to see
all of this up close.”

Called up to the national team in early "1969", Pele initially
refused, but then accepted and played in six World Cup qualifying matches,
scoring six goals. It was expected that the "1970" World Cup in Mexico would be
Pele's last. Brazil's squad for the tournament marked significant changes with
respect to the 1966 squad. Players such as Garrincha, Nilton Santos, Valdir Pereira
and Djalma Santos were

such as Pele, Rivelino, Garzinho, Gerson, Carlos Alberto Torres, Tostao and
Clodoaldo, is often considered the greatest football team in history.
The top five of "Garzinho", Pele, Gerson, Tostao and "Rivelino" together created attacking
momentum, with Pele playing a central role in Brazil's road to the final. All
of Brazil's matches in the tournament (except the final) were held in Guadalajara,
and in the first match against
For Czechoslovakia,
Pelé gave Brazil a "2–1" lead, by chesting in Gerson's long pass and then
scoring. In this match, Pele tried to lift the ball over goalkeeper Ivo Victor
from the halfway line, and he did not miss the Czechoslovakian goal. Brazil won
the match, "4–1". In the first half of the match against England, Pele almost
scored with a header that was saved by England goalkeeper Gordon Banks. Pelé
recalled actually shouting "goal" when he headed the ball, often referred
to as a "save of the century". In the second half, he controlled a
cross from Tostao before passing the ball to Garzinho, who scored the only
goal.
Against Romania, Pelé scored twice, including a curved free
kick from "20" yards, and Brazil won "3–2". In the quarter-finals against Peru,
Brazil won "4–2", with Pelé assisting Tostão for Brazil's third goal. In the
semi-finals, Brazil faced Uruguay for the first time since the "1950" World Cup
final match. Garzinho put Brazil ahead "2–1", and Pelé set up Rivelino's goal to
make it "3–1". During that match, Pele produced one of his most famous dribbles.

goalkeeper Ladislao Mazurkiewicz and ran off his line to get the ball before
Pele. However, Pele got there first and fooled Mazurkiewicz with a ruse

ball, which made it roll to the left goal, while Pele went to the right goal.

towards the goal, but he turned too far as he shot, and the ball drifted off
the far post.

the goal, one of the most iconic moments in World Cup history. Then he assisted
Brazil's third goal, which was scored by Garzinho, and the fourth, which was
scored by Carlos Alberto. The last goal of the match is often considered the
greatest team goal in history because it involved all but two of the team's
players. The play culminated after Pelé made a blind pass that entered the path
of Carlos Alberto. He came running from behind and kicked the ball to score.
Brazil won the match 4–1, retaining the Jules Rimet Trophy indefinitely, and
Pelé was awarded the Golden Ball as player of the tournament. Burgnich, who
scored Pele during the final, was quoted as saying, "I said to myself
before the match, 'It's
Made of skin and
bones just like everyone else - but I was wrong.” In terms of his goals and
assists throughout the "1970" World Cup, Pele was directly responsible for 53% of
Brazil's goals throughout the tournament.

international match was on July 18, "1971" against Yugoslavia in Rio de Janeiro.

Pelé was also famous for associating the phrase "the
beautiful game" with football. A prolific goalscorer, he was known for his
ability to anticipate opponents in the area and finish chances with accurate,
powerful shots with both feet. Pele was also a hard-working team player, a
complete striker, with exceptional vision and intelligence, who was recognized
for his accurate passing and ability to connect with and provide assistance to
his teammates.

positions. Although he usually operated inside the box as a main striker or
main striker, his wide range of skills also allowed him to play in a more
withdrawn role, as an inside striker or second striker, or outside wide. In his
later career, he took a deeper playmaking role behind the forwards, often
acting as an attacking midfielder. Pele's unique style of play combined speed,
creativity, technical skill, physical strength, stamina and athleticism. His
excellent technique, balance, flair, agility and dribbling skills enabled him
to beat opponents with the ball, and he was often seen using substitutions

players, like his signature move, drible da vaca. Another one of his skills was

in), he excelled in the air, due to his accurate heading, timing and height.

taker, although he often held back from taking penalties, stating that he
thought it was a cowardly way to score.
Pele was also known as a very fair and influential player,
who was distinguished by his charismatic leadership and sportsmanship on the
pitch. His warm embrace of Bobby Moore after the Brazil-England match in the "1970" World Cup has been seen as the embodiment of sportsmanship, with The New
York Times stating that the photo "captured the respect that two great
players have for each other...the touches, the looks, the sportsmanship between
them are all in the picture." No gloating, no gloating from Pele. No
despair, no defeatism from Bobby Moore. Pele has also earned a reputation for
being often a decisive player for his teams, due to his tendency to score
crucial goals in important matches.
