The story of a poor boy from Brazil who became the greatest soccer player of all time and one of the most important athletes of the twentieth century!
Tal vez sus padres lo hayan llamado Edson Arantes do Nascimento, pero para el resto del mundo, era conocido como Pelé. El delantero de fútbol sorprendió a Brasil cuando comenzó a jugar para el club de fútbol Santos a los quince años. Luego, cautivó al mundo cuando se unió al equipo nacional de fútbol de su país y los ayudó a ganar tres campeonatos de la Copa del Mundo. Aunque fue aclamado como un héroe nacional por sus logros en el fútbol, Pelé también fue una persona influyente tanto dentro como fuera del campo. Su trabajo con organizaciones como UNICEF ayudó a mejorar las condiciones de los niños en todo el mundo. Los jóvenes lectores pueden aprender más sobre el hombre que conectó el fútbol con la frase El Juego Bonito.
His parents may have named him Edson Arantes do Nascimento, but to the rest of the world, he is known as Pelé. The now-retired professional soccer forward stunned Brazil when he began playing for the Santos soccer club at age fifteen. He then went on to captivate the world when he joined his country's national soccer team and helped them win three World Cup championships. Although he's hailed as a national hero for his accomplishments in soccer, Pelé has been an influential person both on and off the pitch. His work with organizations like UNICEF has helped improve conditions for children around the world. Young readers can learn more about the man who connected soccer with the phrase The Beautiful Game.
