Pelé, the king of soccer, died: the full story of the myth that transformed a sport
Rarely has it been so simple to describe football as a phenomenon. Saying “Pelé” sums it all up and doesn’t need translation anywhere on the planet. Three world national titles, two club titles and 1283 career goals could end any comparison, but Brazil’s genius was much more than that. It represents the beauty of the game, the wonder of the show. At 82 years old, and after months of fighting against a delicate illness that deteriorated his health, this Thursday, December 29, he died at the Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo. The eternal king is now a legend.
Edson Arantes do Nascimento was born on October 23, 1940 in Tres Corazones, in Minas Gerais and his childhood was marked by two dreams: trying to be a soccer player like his father, and reversing the history of his country’s national team by winning a World Cup after the failure of the 1950 World Cup in the Maracaná against Uruguay, when he was only nine years old and suffered a lot from that situation.
His father, Joao Ramos do Nas
