Pelé is an ace of Futebol who can do it all—right foot, left foot, dribbling, shooting, heading. Despite not being the tallest, he claimed every aerial ball.
With a chiseled, robust athlete’s body, hypertrophic thighs, and a torso housing two perfect lungs and a heart: this is Pelé, the King of Football.
Together with his mischievous companion Mané Garrincha, they were like Abbott and Costello; together, they were unstoppable, a whirlwind of feints, counter-feints, and bursts of speed, leaving opponents sprawled on the ground, gazing at the stars.
Their partnership was perhaps one of the greatest in football history, rivaling the likes of Di Stéfano and Puskás. Indeed, their echo is perhaps even grander and more far-reaching.
