Pelé said goodbye to the field in 1977, so many don't know what this star's career was like.

Therefore, we brought the trajectory of the king of football, from the beginning of his career to the top of the world.

Just watch some of the Brazilian team's eternal number 10 plays to see how different his moves were.

So see what the king's career was like, and the highlights of his incredible career in football.

Pelé is an iconic football figure, widely considered one of the greatest players of all time. 

His legacy and influence on the game is unparalleled, as his incredible skill and intelligence led to a 20-year career that resulted in numerous records, medals and trophies.

Pelé, or rather Edson Arantes do Nascimento, was born in Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 1940.

Those who gave Edson this nickname were his childhood friends, when he, when making saves, said the name of his father's teammate, “Bilé”.

However, for some reason, he couldn't speak correctly, pronouncing something closer to “Pilé”, and that's when his colleagues started calling the boy Pelé, as a joke.  

Much like Neymar's story, his father played football for a local club, and this got the boy involved in football from an early age.

He began playing for Santos FC at the age of 16 and quickly became known for his skill and ability to change the game with his innovative moves. 

Therefore, at just 17 years old, Pelé was called up for the national team, and well, the rest was something extraordinary.

Thus, like the thousandth, Pelé's first professional goal was something remarkable.

The player was still on the bench at Santos at this time, and they called him up to play in the game against Corinthians when he was just 15 years old.

This duel wasn't worth much, just a trophy commemorating Independence Day, then at 36 in the second half, when the boy scored Peixe's sixth goal in the match.

What no one would have imagined, that this would only be the first goal, from a player who would enchant the world, and score more than 1000 goals.

In just 3 years, the player already had more than 100, and the number only increased over the years.

At the end of his career, the player's final number was 1282 career goals, an incomparable number.

This number for Pelé, more than 30 years after his departure from football, no other player came close to.

The player deserves special attention to talk about his incredible qualities in football.

Pelé, at that time, already demonstrated a sense of modern football, breaking the defense lines with passes, which today are still difficult to execute.

In addition, he performed dribbles used to this day by the best players in the world.

It seemed to come from the future, and brought yet unknown wonders to the world of football.

The king of football began to fill his shelf early with great achievements in the history of football.

With titles and records broken, the king still manages to be top 1 in several rankings to this day.

See the king's main achievements during his career:

Firstly, the most important title of Pelé's career, the achievement that opened the doors to the world for the boy, the 1958 World Cup.

It was the first time that the boy from the interior of Minas Gerais traveled outside Brazil, at just 17 years old, he was called up to play in the World Cup in Sweden.

The competition put Brazil on the map of the big teams, and it was just the beginning for the football country.

In the first two games of this World Cup, Pelé was on the bench, but when he left, it was to assume absolute ownership.

He was a key player in Brazil's conquest, alongside Garrincha, scoring a goal in the final and everything.

The Bi championship also came, in the 1962 World Cup, but not in a happy way for Pelé. 

After all, in the second game, the star suffered an injury and did not play again until the end of the competition.

As for redemption, it was in 1970, when number 10 had his peak playing for the Brazilian team.

Scoring very important goals, and reaching the impressive mark of 12 goals in World Cups.

It's no wonder that he is the biggest idol of the Santos club, the number of titles that Pelé won for this team is incredible.

As the main player, the king won the Copa Libertadores da América for the following two years, in 1962 and 1963.

When winning the Libertadores, the winning team had the right to compete in the Intercontinental Cup, which was also won in these two years.

In addition to them, he won the Recopa Inter continental and the Recopa Sul-americana in 1968.

Now the titles at national level: 

More than an idol, Pelé put Brazil and Santos on the football map.

The country, which was previously confused with Argentina, now reached another level, which no one has reached until now.

After all his achievements, Pelé was considered a national and international hero where his legacy will be remembered forever. 

Pelé's influence on crowds around the world goes far beyond his incredible performance and achievements on the field. 

He rose to fame as a leader and symbol of hope for those from less fortunate backgrounds, becoming a global icon and role model for countless football players around the world.
