"Eyes closed, the King relaxes. Rare moment of intimacy of the genius as he was brought into this world. A world that he conquered scoring goals in each one of its regions, something that could only be imagined in a dream."

"The world started turning upside-down after 1957, when he made his debut on the national squad. In the school of physical education he fine-tuned a body sculped for sport. According to Paulo Amaral, physical trainer of the 1958 and 1962 national teams, if Pelé had dedicated himself to track and field, he would have broken the world record for the 100 meter dash. And had he aimed his agressiveness through crime, he would have been one of the most fearsome criminals in the country. But his only crime was not playing for Corinthians...."

"Upside up, always going up, surpassing limits that were yet unknown to the man of the soccer field. Five times world champion, thrice with the green and yellow shirt of Brasil, twice with the white shirt of Santos, 1,279 goals, documented record, twice champion of the Libertadores of America Cup, five times champion of the Brasil Cup, eleven times champion of São Paulo, eleven times score leader of the state championship, 97 goals in 115 games for the national team."

"If soccer can't be taught at school, driving is different. The DKW had the honor of being the first to be guided by His Majesty, who, even though is not an Ayrton Senna, likes to say that he has never had a wreck. He does drive up and down with a chauffeur, though...."

"Power. That is what this picture is about. While some use guns and tanks to conquer whole nations, imposing violent dictatorships that drag on for decades, others abuse natural methods that are no more successful. Here, Pelé conquers one more territory as he receives the key to Kinshasa, capital of the old Zaire, from the hands of ex-dictator Mobutu, recently deposed. "

"On the field at Vila Belmiro, José Herrera captures a barefoot Pelé immersed in his first judo lessons. His immense simplicity appears here represented by the white belt."
