Synopsis:

Pelé est une icône mondiale. Non seulement un immense footballeur capable de faire se lever des stades entiers, mais un grand homme au service de nobles causes. Repéré dès onze ans, le gamin qui cirait des bottes pour se faire un peu d'argent dans les favelas fait ses premiers pas dans le football professionnel à quinze ans. À peine deux ans plus tard, il participe à sa première Coupe du Monde et mène l'équipe brésilienne à la victoire contre la Suède (5-2). Pelé est non seulement un joueur hors pair mais surtout l'inventeur d'un autre football, fait de souplesse, de rapidité, de précision, d'intelligence, et de buts incroyables. Son palmarès est impressionnant : 1281 buts marqués en 1363 matches (record mondial), vainqueur de trois coupes du monde (1958, 1962, 1970), etc. Ses adversaires l'admirent et le respectent. Le Président du Brésil le nomme "trésor national" afin qu'il ne soit pas transféré dans une équipe européenne. Ce héros brésilien est élu "sportif du siècle" en 2000. Pour la première fois, le Roi Pelé se raconte et nous livre les souvenirs de la plus grande légende du football.

About the Author: Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known to the world as Pele, won the World Cup with Brazil in 1958, 1962 and 1970. He scored nearly 1,300 goals in his professional career and is Brazil's record goalscorer with 97 goals. He lives in Brazil and the United States.
