Not the GOAT The movie was ok, but could have been much much better.
Pelé was a really good player, top player sure, but not the best in history as he often have mentioned himself. He was not even the best player in any of the world cups, he played in. He scored 12 goals in total of 4 world cups in a time, where there were lots of goals and little defending in every game. Just Fontaine scored 13 goals in 1958, Eusébio scored 9 in 1966. Muller scored 10 goals in 1970. Pelé had a really great team around him, some of them played better than him. Pelé was lucky to be marketed more than his team players.
He only played for Santos, not even a top 5 league and hundreds of his goals, if you count the more than 1000 goals he scored, are against B-teams in unofficial show games. Messi and Ronaldo are soon to take his official scoring record and they have been playing in top leagues of the world and in a time, where defending is another world compared to the 60'ies.
After seeing the movie and doing some research, Pelé comes across unlikeable, naive, unintelligent, ungrateful and a cheater.
