"The years pass, but for Pelé, time remains stopped: the smile of the politician who today greets from the beaches of Rio is the same one of the champion whom yesterday, with his goals, made Brasil dream."

"In the last minute of the final Pelé scores the final goal of the 5-2 match: it is his second goal in the game, after the three he scored in the semi-finals against the France of the bombardier Just Fontaine."

"Next to the king still on the grass, two others of Brasil's excellent players of 1958: Garrincha [in center] and Didí."

"The Swedish defenders could never stop Pelé in the final of the World Cup that was played on the 29 of July in Stockholm's Rasunda stadium."

"Pelé taking a stroll in the streets of Stockholm with his teammate Zito."

"Also, the adversaries could do no less but recognize that in the World Cup of 1958 was born a star: here the president of the Swedish federation, Gunnar Lange [on the right] salutes the excellent player."

"All of Brasil celebrates with the new hero a world cup that had been long awaited."

"In the Chilean World Cup Pelé plays only two matches: the one against Mexico, in which he scores a goal..."

"...and the one against Czechoslovakia, in which he is hurt."

"The incident of the King consents the debut of another young Brasilian talent: in the final it is just a missed celebration for Amarildo Tavares de Silveira, who, in the next year, would come to play in Italy as a part of A.C. Milan."

"Still another accident for the King: in 1966 the green-gold also gets forgiveness from Hungary for the 1-3 result."

"A cursed championship was that in England for Brasil, which did not advance from the first phase. Here Pelé is carried off the field in the game lost 3-1 against Portugal."
