'The King 👑 of Football': Brazilian Legend of Legends Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé, Dead at 82 After Cancer Battle

— Sputnik International | December 29, 2022 | Ian DeMartino

Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé would later go on to be known as the "king of football" as a result of his athleticism and grace on the field. The Brazilian star died Thursday aged 82 after battling cancer.

Decorated football legend Pelé spent the last several months battling colon cancer, and died due to complications related to his condition, according to his manager Joe Fraga. The Santos player is survived by his wife and six children.

Known for his agile feet, inhuman accuracy with headers, and unmatched improvisational skills, Pelé was largely regarded as the greatest football player of all time. The Brazilian and worldwide icon won three World Cups over his 22-year professional career, still the only player to accomplish that feat.

Pelé started his professional career at the age of 15, after dropping out of school in the fourth grade. His father, João Ramos do Nascimento, a minor league footballer, moved the family to Brazil's Sao Paulo when Pelé was just five years old. By age 10, the soon-to-be football great began his training under Waldemar de Brito, a friend of Pelé’s father and a former member of the Brazilian national team.

Two years after signing his first professional contract, Pelé would join the Brazilian national team and compete in his first World Cup at the age of 17 in 1958, making him the youngest player to compete in the tournament at that time. He would score six goals during the tourney, including a hat trick in the semi-finals and two goals in the finals against Sweden. He remains the youngest player to ever score a goal in the World Cup.

By the 1962 World Cup, Pelé was already regarded by most as the best player in the world. He scored twice in the opening game but was injured. Despite his absence, Brazil was able to defend its title, giving Pelé his second World Cup win.

In 1966, Pelé was injured before the tournament started and Brazil was unable to defend its title, which ended up being clinched by England that year. By 1970, Pelé returned to the World Cup stage and Brazil recaptured the title, giving Pelé his record three World Cup championships. Pelé scored the opening goal in Brazil’s 4-1 finals victory over Italy. By that time, his reputation preceded him.

“I told myself before the game, ‘he’s made of skin and bones just like everyone else,’” Italy’s Tarcisio Burgnich, who defended Pelé in the World Cup, said at the time. “But I was wrong.”

Shortly after turning 20, Pelé was officially named a national treasure of Brazil, which prevented him from playing for European football clubs that could have paid him a lot more than his Brazilian team, Santos FC.

Pelé’s fame went far beyond Brazil and touched the entire world - he is also credited with being the driving force behind football's rise in the United States. A year after retiring from the Brazilian league, Pelé signed a $2.8 million contract with the New York Cosmos. Pelé massively increased nationwide interest in the fledgling football (otherwise know as soccer in the states) league.

Prior to his arrival, the Cosmos averaged 8,009 fans per game. By his third and final year with the club, the Cosmos averaged 42,689 fans per home game, including three games with over 70,000 in attendance. He was named as the North American Soccer League’s top all-star team all three years he played for the league. The Cosmos won the NASL championship in 1977, Pelé’s last year in the league.

His last professional game came that same year, a friendly between the Cosmos and his former Santos FC team. It was played in Giants Stadium in New Jersey in front of a sold-out crowd. He played the first half for the Cosmos and the second half for Santos FC.

While football was played in the United States for nearly a century before Pelé’s time in the NASL, his arrival has nonetheless been credited for the sport's rise in popularity in the United States.

Pelé’s play had ramifications outside of the sports world as well. In 1969, the Nicaraguan civil war entered a 48-hour ceasefire, so both sides could watch Pelé play in an exhibition match in Lagos.

Pelé was undoubtedly the biggest sports star of his era worldwide, something that he admitted caused some internal conflict inside of him.

“Pelé has taken on a life of his own. He overtook everything,” the football great wrote in one of his autobiographies. “I sense the dichotomy between Edson and Pelé every time I take out my Mastercard. On one side is the image of me doing a bicycle kick together with the signature of Pelé, and on the other is my real signature.”

While his nickname is known the world over and has become synonymous with the game of football, Pelé admitted he had no idea where it originally came from and it has no meaning in Portuguese. But, he said he liked it because it was short and could be easily pronounced by speakers of any language.

Raised as a Roman Catholic, Pelé remained a man of faith until he died, but did not always live up to the standards set by the church. Pelé married three times during his life, with his marriages to Rosemeri dos Reis Cholbi and Assíria Lemos Seixas ending in divorce. He was also linked to the model Xuxa, who was 17 when they began their relationship. In 2016, he married Marcia Aoki, a Brazilian business executive who was 32 years younger than him.

Through his marriages and relationships, Pelé had at least seven children, including Sandra Arantes do Nascimento who was the child of an affair between Pelé and housemaid Anizia Machado in 1963. Pelé never acknowledged her as his daughter, even after she sued the football star to force a DNA test that proved he was her father. Ms. Nascimento died of breast cancer in 2006. Pelé did not attend her funeral.

After his playing career, Pelé stayed active. In 1992, he served as the United Nations ambassador for ecology and the environment. From 1995 to 1998, he served as Brazil’s minister of sport, and at age 74 he signed a lifetime contract with Santos FC for merchandise reasons.

In 1999, he was named the co-player of the 20th century by football’s governing body FIFA. He shared the award with Argentina’s Diego Maradona, a distinction that insulted Pelé and caused endless debates among South American football fans.

“Pelé did not doubt that he was football’s biggest star and its best player. “In music, there is Beethoven and the rest,” he said in 2000. “In football, there is Pelé and the rest.”

Arguments about Pelé extend to his statistical accomplishments. According to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS), Pelé is credited with 762 goals throughout his professional career. That makes Pelé the third-most prolific scorer in football history, behind only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

However, according to the Guinness Book of Records, Pelé scored 1,279 goals in 1,363 games, and in 2015, Pelé took to Twitter to claim that he scored 1,283 goals throughout his career.

The discrepancy is the result of how football goals were counted in the 1950s and 1960s, with unclear classifications of what was an “official” and an “unofficial” match.

What is not up for debate, is Pelé’s contribution to the game of football around the world, soccer in the United States, and the way he inspired millions around the globe to take up the beautiful game.

After his final match, a Brazilian newspaper summed up what Pelé meant to his country and the world in a simple sentence: “Even the sky was crying.” Today, as it did in 1977, the sky cries for Pelé.

Chelsea Win First Club World Cup Title

Roman Abramovich's men beat Palmeiras 2-1 in Abu Dhabi thanks to a Kai Havertz winner in extra time

Chelsea completed their trophy cabinet under Roman Abramovich's ownership by beating Palmeiras in extra time in the Club World Cup final on Saturday.

Following a cagey first half in Abu Dhabi, Romelu Lukaku broke the deadlock on 55 minutes with a header from a Callum Hudson-Odoi cross.

Nine minutes later, however, the Brazilians won a penalty when Thiago Silva handled while going up for the ball to make a clearance, and Raphael Veiga converted the resulting spot kick.

As neither side could find a winner in the second half, the tie went to extra time where Chelsea were also given a chance to score from 12 yards out.

This came as a result of Luan mimicking Silva by also blocking with his hand, and Kai Havertz made no mistake when he sent Weverton the wrong way as Abramovich clapped in celebration high up in the stands with the score now 2-1.

After netting the sole goal in the Champions League final against Manchester City in Porto last May, Havertz was once again the hero and Chelsea now boast the final piece of silverware that had eluded them until now.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel returned to the dugout after missing the midweek semifinal against Al-Hilal due to Covid. In a tense first half with moments of brilliance but no end product, he had to hook injured midfielder Mason Mount for Christian Pulisic around the half-hour mark.

Just before that, Dudu had Palmeiras' best chance when trying to test Edouard Mendy from distance with a long-range shot. Better passing across the channels and more accurate shooting might have seen the Sao Paulo outfit enjoy success in launching counter attacks, as they soaked up pressure and advanced well while roared on by their passionate fans.

Approaching half time, Champions League holders Chelsea finished the stronger of the two teams with Silva fancying his chances from 30 yards out yet hitting wide. Early in the second half, they finally got it right when Hudson-Odoi knocked over a delightful ball from the left wing for Romelu Lukaku to head home and make it 1-0.

Palmeiras weren't down and out, though, with VAR ruling that Silva handballed when going up to head an incoming cross out of the box which resulted in a penalty.

Taking his time after the whistle had been blown, Raphael Veiga equalized by drilling his effort into the bottom left corner past Mendy to set up a thrilling final half hour.

This contained opportunities for each side, with Palmeiras again fancying their chances on the break as Chelsea threaded together slick passing moves that Havertz and Pulisic couldn't grant the finishes they deserved.

With a quarter of an hour to spare, both sides made double substitutions with Tuchel introducing Saul Niguez and Timo Werner at the expense of Hudson-Odoi and Lukaku. But as nobody could find a winner, the tie went to extra time.

It was there that Havertz was the man of the hour, with Luan's misery compounded by being red-carded in the closing minutes, and the German later described the feeling of winning as "amazing".

"After [becoming] champions of Europe, we are now champions of the world. It sounds better," Havertz said to Channel 4 in the UK.

"I was nervous [taking the penalty], I have to be honest. It's a big penalty. It's just crazy. It was good I kept the nerves. I am very happy.

"I was the third penalty taker but I was the only one left on the pitch," Havertz pointed out.

"My teammates gave me trust. I dreamed always as a kid [about] this. This is an amazing feeling for me," the youngster finished.

"It never stops. We want to keep on winning trophies," declared Havertz's compatriot coach Tuchel, as Chelsea uploaded a celebratory post to social media with the caption "We've won it all".

"In the end if you score late you need luck to do it but we were relentless and we did not stop trying. We did not give in. We had the lead then lost it but never stopped. It was deserved but [it's] also lucky when you score late," Tuchel went on.

"The penalty does not look nervous [from Havertz] but for sure he was. You can't not be nervous in this situation. We trusted the statistics and I'm happy for him."

Asked how it felt to make history with Chelsea and complete their trophy cabinet, Tuchel said: "I'm a part of it and I'm happy to have the chance. We said before in the dressing room 'what an opportunity'.

"We all dream to have finals like this. There are no regrets. There are still things to win and it never stops," he concluded.

With Chelsea set to face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final in just over a fortnight, Tuchel has a point. Before then, there is also a Champions League last 16 double date with Lille to negotiate while going all the way again in Europe's premier cup competition for the second successive time would have them back in Abu Dhabi a year from now to try and become world rulers once more.

Man City will be even more terrifying with new formation & start for 21 y/o vs Wolves - opinion

Being a young striker playing for the same team as Sergio Aguero has it’s pros and cons, there is no doubt; for a player looking to develop his game and emulate the Argentine’s goal-scoring prowess, there are few better hitmen around to draw from, while equally, it is a struggle to push the former Athletico Madrid man out of the starting XI and that makes minutes hard-earned.

This is exactly the situation that Gabriel Jesus has been in since his arrival from Palmeiras in 2017 – the Brazilian was tipped as one of the hottest young prospects from his country and his 13 goals and four assists in his debut season for ‘Big Green‘ were enough to secure a £29m move to the Premier League.

While he has hardly flopped, the 21-year-old has not been afforded an extended run in the first XI to be able to truly show what he is capable of simply due to the fact that Aguero is one of the few players Pep Guardiola may feel is indispensable.

As the silverware-hungry City battle on multiple fronts to secure as many trophies as they can, Jesus will find most of his opportunities in the domestic cups and was given the nod on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup clash with Burton Albion.

The League One minnows presumably came to the Etihad Stadium with the plan to frustrate the hosts and perhaps grab an away goal on the break but the Cityzens were merciless and never took their foot off the gas as they stormed to an unbelievable 9-0 victory.

Jesus doubled his side’s lead in the 30th minute after Kevin de Bruyne had found the breakthrough early on and, from there, it went absolutely goal-crazy in Manchester.

The number 33 found the net again four minutes later; scored his hat-trick goal in the second half and then bagged a fourth to round off a terrific performance which was undoubtedly his best to date.

In a game where City almost reached double figures, you would be forgiven for thinking that they squandered chances along the way but this was not the case for Jesus – the forward took 6 shots on goal and four of those beat the ‘keeper, who had about as miserable an evening as it gets.

A key feature of Guardiola’s style is that goals and assists must be able to come from every single player – even Ederson, the goalkeeper, was purchased for his ability to find a killer, long pass – and Jesus was no exception as he completed an impressive 4 key passes and linked up with his teammates well. He got an assist, to boot, which meant that he had a hand in five of City’s nine.

At just 5-foot-9, Jesus isn’t exactly the most physical of strikers and can’t be expected to win too much in the air – should it ever leave the turf – although he won 2 aerial duels against the Brewers and scored a header, rising high above his man to power the ball into the corner.

Which big 6 club needs to do the most business in January? Check out what the Playmaker FC squad think in the video above…

After he grabbed four goals and teed up another in the midweek game, Guardiola would surely be mad not to start the Sao Paulo-born star against Wolves on Monday, however it would also be a gamble to leave out Aguero.

Perhaps, therefore, the answer for the Spaniard is to stray away from his favoured 4-3-3 and play with two up top; we know that they will still, most likely, be at their sparkling best regardless of shape but it would certainly be exciting to see Aguero partner Jesus.

If the latter can produce even half as good a performance as he did in the cup, Wolves will be ripped to shreds – what do you think, Manchester City fans? Who should Pep place his faith in for upcoming matches, Aguero or Jesus? Or both, as we’ve suggested? Let us know by voting in the poll below…
