"Children have always fascinated Pelé. In them, he sees the future
of Brasil." Large Version |
|
"The elegance of Pelé. As a world citizen, Pelé conserves a good
taste in his dress that characterizes him outside the field." Large Version |
|
"At that time, Pelé thought about stopping, fishing, swimming,
reading, and staying with the family; in summation, having a more calm lifestyle. He could
not reduce his rhythm. He is a 'world citizen' and soccer is in his blood." Large Version |
|
"Pelé traveled troughout the world, and played in various countries
and stadiums. Here he appears in a friendly match against Scotland before the 1966 World
Cup." Large Version |
|
"Cantinfals, the great Mexican actor, Pelé, and Orlando Duarte,
before a game in Caracas in which Cantinflas gave the initial kick-off." Large Version |
|
"Pelé, Leônidas, and Fried, three great goal scorers of different
epochs. Leônidas was score leader of the 1938 World Cup. Fried never played in a world
cup, retiring in 1935, while playing for Flamengo." Large Version |
|
"José Ely de Miranda, [otherwise known as] Zito, was always a good
friend of Pelé's, on and off the field. Here the two are in Macao, the Portuguese
province in China, in 1970. It was a touristic trip. The manager, Marcelo de Castro Leite,
is between the two players." Large Version |
|
"Pelé lived many of his 50 years in airplanes, airports, hotels,
soccer fields, and training camps. Here he disembarks, in 1961, into the city of
Marseille, for a friendly match that Santos won 6 to 1. Laércio, who has already passed
on, comes down in front of Pelé, and behind him is Brandão, a youngster from Santa
Bárbara do Oeste who played for Santos." Large Version |
|
"Pelé, sensational! A memorable bycicle-kick goal, in the Morumbi
stadium under construction. The opponent was Corinthians." Large Version |
|
"Pelé, without being offensive, knew how to communicate with the
referees. Here he tries to convince the german Rudi Glockner, in the final against Italy,
of one of his mistakes." Large Version |
|
"Pelé matured a lot. He always wanted to contribute with ideas for
the clubs and for the National Team. Here he continues on the same boat, the one of sport.
In spite of having composed music, made movies, and of being an active business man, what
the King really likes is soccer." Large Version |
|
"In the 70 Cup, in Mexico, Pelé had plays 'of an artist'. In the
first game, against Czechoslovakia, he almost scored on Viktor, from about 50 meters
out." Large Version |
|
"Pelé is present in all divisions of soccer, principally in the
world cups. Here he is seen with the 'captains' and referees before the final of the
Juvenile World Cup...." Large Version |
|
"...He also poses with the national team of the former USSR." Large Version |
|
"During the game, Pelé's energy was contagious for everybody, and
the explosiveness of the goal was always intense." Large Version |
|
"Pelé always enjoyed being with children. He believes that the
future depends on the children of today." Large Version |
|
"Pelé, Zico, and Falcão. Idols of different generations." Large Version |
|
"A rare photo: Pelé, Maradona, and Havelange. These were other
times...." Large Version |
|
"Two three-time world champions: Pelé and Havelange. Dr. Havelange
began in the presidency of CBD, today the CBF, in 1958, when [Brasil] won the first title,
staying until 1974, when he went on to head FIFA." Large Version |
|
"Iashin, who already passed on, the famous goalkeeper of the USSR
whom Pelé faced in 1958. Iashin is a legend of world soccer." Large Version |
