#to claim pelé wouldn’t be great nowadays because the football played in his time was very different than the current one also is foolish.

amazing read. if anyone has free time or is just curious about why pelé is regarded as the best footballer of all times by most people, i’d recommend checking this thread
#facts like the ones reported on this thread are the reason why i can’t handle messi fans who say he’s the goat#the idea that pelé’s greatness can’t be taken serious because he played football in a different era is purely based on eurocentrism#pelé didn’t have to play in europe because european football was miles behind brazilian leagues in the 60s and 70s#to claim pelé wouldn’t be great nowadays because the football played in his time was very different than the current one also is foolish.#the football pelé played was harder than the one we have currently. a more physical game with heavier balls and terrible pitches#the question is not if pelé would play the way he played nowadays but if current players would be able to play like they do in that era#pelé#brazil#football#world cup#brazilian tag
