Football world mourns King Pelé

KingAzubuike:
Una just dey shout greatest of all time. Pele era where defense be like water.. era wey you go play one slow ball to post keeper go stretch him life yet him hand no go reach. Check most of his goals.. cheap goals he wouldn't even score from the 90s till date. Pele was good but if he had played in this era, it wouldn't have been easy for him and he would have just being an ordinary player.

Don't get me wrong, Pele is great. If you say he's the greatest of all time, I won't argue because it's your opinion. Even someone like delima Ronaldo or Adriano Leite Ribeiro would have done wonders in that era.

Most of you shouting Pele up and down didn't even watch him play...just hearsay and stories passed down from generations to generations. Except of course you were born or old enough to understand football between 1953 and 1977 ... Same way you'll pass down the story of zlatan ibrahimovic future kids would think he was even greatest ever.

I am very sure you don't watch documentary very well. If you do, you would have noticed the following
1. Players are not protected like this generation. It was fight of the fittest. Do refrees allow rough play which can make players spend a year injured now? I don't think so. Example is the case of Delima who spend over a year injured.
2. The turfs were not so smooth. So it was more difficult to play.
3. Players played with their total might, the love for the beautiful game, and personal glory. That is why more effort was put in the game unlike now when money is the most important thing.
4. The ball used in Pele's era was very strong.
5. Most importantly, there was no favouritism.

If Messi had played in that generation, I am pretty sure, he would have quit by the age of 30 or reduce his dribbling to avoid getting injured.

I share this same sentiment with you also. Football during that time is way different from the football of today.

KingAzubuike:

So you were the one that watched Pele play or you were old enough to understand football between 1953 and 1977

You can't understand his worth if you are an indomie generation.

What about the rules?
Technicalities?
Quality rival teams?
Games played in a calendar year?
Number of world cup teams?
Quality of Club leagues?

No time is more difficult as now...

Trash it's too easy now..
Back then, the rules was harsher no substitution, or and back tackles were allowed.. it shock you abi

Omolomo4eva:
True talk. Football then was a total ogbada

And football today is too Sisi..no harsh tackles are allowed

story...

It's never been so easy to play football and earn millions... Even for diving

And the quality of football has dropped... Players are more of celebrities today than athletes...

ultimateprof:
RIP, even though you played football when defence was porous and defenceless. If Pele have being a player now, he would have died an ordinary player. Thank God that nature smiled on him.

not true...defenders of that era were butchers...this era is too soft

KingAzubuike:

Nna defence and goal keepers of that era na die. Dem go play one slow shot keeper go stretch cover post yet him hand nor go reach. Opposition go dey attack defenders go just dey look.

See this Kiddos fabricating lies...
Your father wasn't even a feotus in his era

yet you know how GK catch ball and how defenders defend down to the very last details...

Unfortunately , pele and my father is more important than your father too.. Nobody knows your own father.. at least mine was a top dog. I'm just disappointed with someone who was still battling with Noun in 2018.
