What an incredible sight

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,480
in the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City.

8
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,640
I don't think anywhere ever in the world

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,120
there's been an atmosphere
quite like this.

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,840
[announcer in Spanish]
Today, I officially declare

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,000
the 1970 World Cup open.

12
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,240
[commentator in Portuguese]
The 1970 World Cup is underway!

14
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,160
[Pelé] My dad said,

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,640
"Football is for those who have guts."

[crowd clamoring]

19
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,840
[reporter 1 in English] Pelé,
the world's most famous footballer,

20
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,560
was the man all eyes sought out…

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,240
[reporter 2] On his legs,
Brazilian World Cup hopes are pinned.

22
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,800
[reporter 3]
Followed every minute of the day…

23
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,680
Pelé has hidden himself away.

24
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,920
[reporter 4]
This is Pelé's fourth World Cup.

25
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,560
He's worshiped to the point
where he's almost a prisoner.

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,480
[reporter 5] There have been threats
to kidnap and even assassinate him.

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,320
[Pelé in Portuguese]
Everything that was on the news,

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,520
that I wouldn't be able to come back,
I wasn't in good shape...

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,760
[reporter]
Pelé's form has declined to the point

30
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,320
he's no longer the Pelé of old.

31
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,920
[Pelé] ...it was a lot of pressure.

32
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,160
[people clamoring]

33
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,880
[male voice]
It's no longer time for talking.

34
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,800
It's time for fighting.

35
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,280
[Pelé] The World Cup
was important for the country.

36
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,400
[men chanting]

37
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,880
[Pelé] But in that moment,
I didn't want to be Pelé.

38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,280
I didn't like it. I didn't want it.

39
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:25,120
I was praying,

40
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,600
"God, this is my last World Cup.
Help me prepare for my last World Cup."

41
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:34,120
[commentator in English]
In this moment, the Brazilians need Pelé.

42
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,240
…the Brazilians need Pelé.

43
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,960
[overlapping voices] Pelé.

44
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,520
[male voice 1] The great Pelé.

45
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,600
[overlapping voices] Pelé.

46
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,960
[male voice 2] Pelé!

47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,120
[male voice 3]
Pelé is not as good as he was.

-[spectators chanting] Pelé!

49

[music fades]

50
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,520
[Pelé in Portuguese] Brazil is my country.

51
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,440
It means everything to me.

52
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,400
It's the country that brought me
into this world.

53
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,640
[soft guitar music playing]

54
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,960
[Pelé] Brazil was a very young country,
not very well-known.

55
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,360
I remember my grandparents,
they sold firewood.

56
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,720
They had horses and their cart.

57
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,120
A lot of the time, I rode the horses
when I was around ten years old.

58
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,760
I didn't know other countries existed.

59
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,640
I thought Brazil was
the most beautiful country in the world.

60
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,120
We came from nothing.
We didn't have much.

61
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,360
We were poor, but we were
always able to work. My father worked.

62
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,840
My father, he was a football player,
and his nickname was Dondinho.

63
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,720
I was known as Dondinho's son.

64
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,000
My dream was always to be like my father.

65
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,840
I thought my father was
the best player in the world.

66
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,520
[woman]
When Pelé arrived home from school,

67
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,720
he was always kicking a ball about
with friends in the street.

68
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,120
He loved to play.

69
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,560
When he was inside, he was a troublemaker.

70
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,880
He always had a lot of energy.

71
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,560
There was a point in my father's career

72
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,880
when he got injured
and his club was late paying him,

73
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,200
and so Pelé thought
he had to help at home,

74
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:51,840
so he started to work.

75
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,640
[Pelé] I shined shoes, cleaned shoes

76
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,320
to help my family.

77
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,560
[interviewer] Did you think that one day
you would be a famous football player?

78
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,160
No.

79
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:26,240
The principles that I was raised with,
I still have them to this day.

80
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,360
It was my family that gave them to me.

81
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,720
I never thought, despite everything
that's happened in my life, and even now,

82
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,120
I never think I am better than anyone.

83
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,200
I think this was because of the principles
and the upbringing my parents gave me.

84
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:42,120
Thank God.

85
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,720
But when my father realized
that he could play, he could be a player,

86
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,400
he encouraged him a lot.

87
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,840
Then they moved to Santos.

88
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,040
[percussive music playing]

89
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,160
[man] I was the first person
at Santos Football Club to meet Pelé.

90
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,120
We were used to seeing a lot of people get
approved at the tryouts at Vila Belmiro,

91
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,640
but who didn't have any talent.

92
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,440
And he showed amazing talent
at his first training session.

93
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,360
He shook my hand so hard that I thought,

94
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,560
"I want to be on his side.
I don't want to be his opponent."

95
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,960
[Dorval] He arrived with that personality.
He wasn't afraid of anything.

96
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,160
Once he got on the pitch,

97
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,600
it was like
he had been playing with us for years.

98
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,600
[Pelé] I was 16 years old,

99
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,520
and I would say,
"Wow, I'm a professional footballer now."

100
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,200
And then I was called up
for the 1958 World Cup.

101
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,800
We already had an idea
of how he'd be as a footballer.

102
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,120
When he was drafted
to the Brazilian national team,

103
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,360
we were overjoyed.

104
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,840
[Pelé]
I said, "Well, we're going to Sweden."

105
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,640
I had never left Brazil before.

106
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,560
We thought Brazil was very well known
in Europe,

107
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,360
but no, it wasn't.

108
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,000
Some Swedish girls who were there,

109
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,840
they touched my skin,
and I thought,

110
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,000
"Why is this girl seeing
if my skin colour will come off,

111
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,960
if it's dye that will come off?"

112
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,040
She kept rubbing it
and checking her hand to see

113
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,600
because they had never seen
a Black person before.

114
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,320
[indistinct chatter]

115
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:26,560
[Zagallo] Our country wasn't known
in the football community.

116
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,560
We weren't the favorites
or anything like that.

117
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,920
I saw a skinny kid

118
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,920
who should have been feeling the pressure
of being picked to play in the World Cup,

119
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,400
but he didn't feel it.

120
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,760
He was confident.

121
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,760
[crowd clamoring]

122

[spectators cheering]

124
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,200
[Pelé in Portuguese] Some of the reporters
would write I was too young.

125
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,720
That I didn't have experience.

126
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,520
[whistle blowing]

127
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,280
[inaudible]

128
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,320
My father always told me...

129
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,360
"Don't worry.
When you step on the pitch, be confident,

130
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,600
because on the pitch, everyone is equal."
And that gave me a lot of strength.

131

[commentator 1 speaking Portuguese]

132
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,280

he controls it and shoots…

[commentator 1 speaking Portuguese]

138
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,160
[commentator 2 in English] Pelé,
who has played such a magnificent part,

139
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,840
is 17 years of age.

140
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,720
[commentator 2 on radio]
So often Brazil have been so near

141
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,920
and yet so far from the World Cup.

142
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,320
In 1950, they were hot favorites to win

143
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,360
and were sensationally beaten
2-1 by Uruguay.

144
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,920
[marching band playing on radio]

145
00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:51,000
[Pelé in Portuguese]
In 1950, the World Cup was in Brazil,

146
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,800
and we were kids.

147
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,800
[man] When the championship was held
in Brazil in 1950,

148
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,080
it was Brazil's biggest hope
to become a well-known country

149
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,520
and to evolve from
the basic status it held.

150
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,120
There were no televisions,

151
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,680
so only the people who were there
saw the match.

152
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,080
I was one of them.

153
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,440
[indistinct chatter]

154
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,640
There were 200,000 people at the Maracanã.

155
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:37,880
Brazil was committed

156
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,280
to putting all its efforts

157
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,560
into stepping onto the world stage
through football.

158
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,400
[man] My fellow Brazilians,
in a matter of minutes

159
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,840
you will become world champions.

160
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,040
We kept our word and built this stadium.

161
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,240
Now do your duty and win us the World Cup.

162

[cheering continues indistinctly on radio]

170
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,480
[Pelé] Everybody was
in front of the radio, listening.

171
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,760
Everybody was talking about it.

00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,360
[commentator]
Ghiggia has it... He finds Schiaffino…

173
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,000
Uruguay score! A goal for Uruguay.

174
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,360
They've equalized.

175
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,560
Ghiggia on the right.
He runs towards the Brazilian goal…

176
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,880
Uruguay score their second goal!

177
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Uruguay win 2-1.

[melancholic music playing]

181
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,400
[Pelé] Everyone was quiet in the streets.
It was silent.

182
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,240
It was a tragedy.

183
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:20,000
[man] 1950 represents

184
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,040
the biggest national failure.

185
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,080
And it's no wonder that after this,
Nelson Rodrigues coined the term...

186
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,840
He classified that defeat

187
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,760
as the biggest example
of the mongrel complex.

188
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,120
[man] What he meant was
that Brazilians were used

189
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,640
to putting themselves down

190
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,040
and praising the greatness of others.

191
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,160
"The others are the good ones.
We're worthless."

192
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,800
Because a mongrel is a stray dog.

193
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,560
[Pelé]
I didn't know what to say to my father

194
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,400
because he was crying a little.

195
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,400
And then I said to him,
"No. Don't worry. Don't be sad.

196
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,440
I will win a World Cup for you."

What a shot by Pelé!

213
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,040
Nilton Santos crosses to Pelé,

214
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,640

He was a prodigy.

We used to laugh about it.

222
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,240
The greatest footballer of all time
was being born, right there.

[inhales sharply and sniffles]

00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,480
[Pelé] That night, I didn't sleep.

235
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,640
I didn't sleep because I wanted to know
if people in Brazil, my family,

236
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,040
if they knew about the game,

237
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:08,720
if they had listened to it.

238
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,520

245
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,400
It becomes clear that Pelé is the man

246
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,200
who will begin to solve
the Brazilian mongrel complex.

247
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,120
Through him,
Brazilians learned to love themselves.

248

-[Dorval] Yes, he was the man of the hour.

255
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,120
Everybody got there screaming for Pelé,
"Pelé, Pelé, Pelé..."

256
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,480
If too many people
were crowding around us, we'd say,

257
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,800
"Pelé's over there," and they'd go wild.

258
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,640

Boys wanted Pelé as a brother.
Fathers wanted Pelé as a son.

262

Everyone wanted Pelé as their neighbor.

263
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,280
Because he was captivating,
absolutely captivating.

264
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,720
And his way of being was attracting
more and more interest,

265
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,760
and then obviously,
that character began to get much stronger.

[indistinct cheering]

267
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,960
[man] He was seen as royalty

268
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,600
by Black people, white people,
multiracial people, everybody.

269
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,280
He became a symbol
of Brazil's emancipation.

270
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,920
[woman] I experienced that joy
that Pelé brought like everyone else.

[whistle blowing]

272
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,400
The poor kids, the ones from the slums,
they could see themselves in Pelé.

273
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,160
They would cheer with Pelé.
They would think, "I want to be a Pelé."

274
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,880
It was the most promising image we had
of a poor Black kid.

275
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,080
[Pelé] I couldn't go outside.

276
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,440
Everywhere we went,
people would come up to me.

277
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,520
I didn't know what to do. [chuckles]

278
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,360
My father's friends forgot about him,
forgot about everyone else. [chuckles]

279
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,920
They just wanted to know about Pelé,
little Pelé.

280
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,320
And so, that transition wasn't easy.

281
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:06,600
[Maria Lúcia]
It must have been very difficult for him.

282
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,080
Because at his age,

283
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,800
maybe all he wanted to do was to play
and show what he could do on the pitch.

284
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:19,800
[crowd chanting] Pelé! Pelé!

Before Pelé, Santos was a small club.

286
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:30,000
It was irrelevant.

It's not that he made the difference.

He's mastered the grammar of the game.

[Pelé] I've never believed
in a best player in the world.

314

To be the best player in the world,

315
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,320
you need to be better in every position
than everyone else.

316
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,040
And that's tricky, isn't it?

Between 1957 and 1961,

Pelé has scored 355 goals.

321

It was God who put this team together.

Am I right?

362
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,840
It was incredible.

363
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,440
We were a family.

364
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,040
Now, one thing that Brazil owes Santos for

365
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:58,480
is that when Santos was on tour,

366
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,280
we'd beat all the best teams in Italy,
in Germany, in the whole of Europe.

367
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,160
And they would all
be talking about Brazil.

368
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,000
Nobody knew about Brazil before that.

369
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,560
Do you remember a game 
we played in Europe, I think it was,

370
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,840
and Lula said to me,
"Fuck, Pelé is injured."

371
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,000
He said, "You know what?"

372
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,960
"Since everyone at Santos who plays attack
is Black or dark-skinned,

373
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,200
Dorval, you're going to play
with the number 10 shirt."

374
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,840
"They won't even know it isn't Pelé ."

[men chuckling]

376
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,880
Then I played number 10.
I started with 10,

377
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,640
and soon everyone realized I wasn't Pelé.

378
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,280
They started to chant, "Pelé, Pelé!"

379
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:45,280
Then you came on,
a bit injured, but you still played.

380
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:47,080
I think they said something like this.

381
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,240
"Come on.
Pelé is normally so handsome, so cute."

382
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,640
"That Black guy there, no way is he Pelé."

You were the King, and we knew it.
We had to help the King, do our job.

This whole "You are the King" thing,

388
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,600
I remember when we were in Paris,

389
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,880
and there was a party, and I was singing…

That World Cup was to be Pelé's World Cup.

406
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,960
Pelé was about to turn 22 years old.

407
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,760
Now a grown man

408
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,560

We were waiting for him

415
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,160
because of what he'd done in '58.

416
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,480

I didn't know exactly what happened.

I was fresh and young
and I'd never been injured like that.

425

[Zagallo] We hoped he would recover
as soon as possible,

426

to the players and said,

"Forget about that because we are a team,
not just one player."

the throw and finds Amarildo.

Pelé emerged at a time when Brazil, too,
was emerging as a modern country.

Not just a country
known for exporting agricultural products,

technology and culture.

to get popular.

00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,080
[reporter 2]
Yet when the end of his regime came,

515
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,880
it was through a brief
and bloodless military coup.

516
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:05,680
[reporter 1] Under Gen. Branco,

517
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,200
the army revolted
and seized Rio de Janeiro.

518
00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:16,520
[Muylaert in Portuguese]
What was the reason for the coup?

519
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,640
That Brazil was being overtaken
by Communism,

520
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:22,400
which was completely unfounded.

521
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,040
In 1964, Brazil was at no risk
of becoming Communist,

522
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,080
but that is what the military claimed.

523
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,880
[Gil] There was an American plan

524
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,040
to incentivize dictatorships
in the Americas

525
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,480
in order to prevent the expansion
of USSR Communism.

526
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,200
And so, a new Brazil took shape.

527
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,680
All that joy we had felt
in the late '50s and early '60s

528
00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:59,680
went down the drain.

529
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,520
[people clamoring]

530
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,400
[interviewer] During the dictatorship,
did anything change for you?

531
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,960
No, football stayed the same.

532
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:16,840
[crowd cheering]

533
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,880
For us, not much changed.

534
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,800
At least, for me, nothing changed.

535
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:46,040
I've been invited to participate
[chuckles]

536
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,000
in politics,

537
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,440
but honestly,

538
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,400
I've got no desire to get involved.

539
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,960
Football already takes up most of my time,

540
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:05,560
and ultimately, I don't understand
anything about politics.

541
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,200
[Vasconcellos] Pelé was simply a person
who accepted the regime.

542
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,400
He lived with it.

543
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,080
They treated him well

544
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,240
because they knew
how important that relationship was,

545
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,040
so he was just someone
whose life went on as normal.

546
00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:29,760
He wasn't hindered in any way.

547
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,960
[interviewer in Spanish]
Pelé, three years ago you told me

548
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,960
you were looking to settle down.

549
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,120
How do you feel now you're in love?

550
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:49,720
[in Portuguese]
I didn't tell people I had a girlfriend

551
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,520
so the papers wouldn't talk about it,

552
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,760
and it wouldn't become public.

553
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,880
[soft guitar music playing]

554
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:11,360
[Pelé] My first serious relationship
where I wanted to start a family

555
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,120
was when I met Rose here in Santos.

556
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,320
I was a bit shy. [chuckles]

557
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,160
But then I became friends with her father.

558
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,840
And to befriend her father, I would say,

559
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:31,400
"If you want, I can shine your shoes...
your shoes." [chuckles]

560
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:40,520
I said,
"Well, I think it's time to settle down,"

561
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,800
then I got closer to the family
and we got married.

562
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,960
I married her because I liked her,
but I was too young.

563
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,080
We had that friendship. I liked her a lot.

564
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,080
But that passion you feel
when you are madly in love,

565
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,560
we didn't have any of that.

566
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:10,840
[interviewer speaking German]

567
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,680
[translator]
Do you have any hobbies together?

568
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:14,600
[both mumble indistinctly]

569
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:21,640
Dancing, music... Popular music.

570
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:27,440
[interviewer speaking German]

571
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,640
[translator] Do you and your husband
spend enough time together?

572
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,280
He knows how to split his time
between football and family,

573
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,160
so it works well.

574
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,360
[interviewer]
What was it like for her being your wife?

575
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,080
Do you think it was difficult?

576
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,320
I think it was difficult.
Yes, it was hard.

577
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,200
[indistinct chatter]

578
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,120
[Pelé] More and more commercial deals
began to appear

579
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,880
that were outside the world of football.

580
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,960
So I was signing more advertising deals,

581
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,880
companies from around the world
were getting in touch...

582
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,920
I was now traveling more
for that side of my work

583
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,560
than I was for football.

584
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:14,720
For my family and for my relationship,
it was very tough.

585
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:15,920
I knew that.

586
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,720
[indistinct chatter]

587
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,760
[interviewer]
Was it hard for you to remain faithful

588
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,960
with all the girls always hitting on you?

589
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,080
In all honestly, it was. It was.

590
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:38,800
[camera shutter clicking]

591
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,240
[Pelé] I've had a few affairs,

592
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,160
some of which resulted in children,

593
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,960
but I only learned about them later.

594
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,800
My first wife, my first girlfriend,
knew all about it.

595
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,600
I never lied to anyone.

596
00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:03,040
[reporter in French]
We're at the airport and we're waiting

597
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,000
for Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé.

598
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,400
Would you like
to introduce your wife to us?

599
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,360
[in Portuguese] I don't speak French.

600
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,040
[reporter in French]
You don't speak French?

601
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,200
Are you visiting Paris?

602
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,360
[in Portuguese]
Yes, I've been visiting Paris

603
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,560
with my wife and I enjoyed it.

604
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,680
I'd like to come back here in the future.

605
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:30,480
[in French] Who are the favorites
for the next World Cup?

606
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:35,000
[in Portuguese] It's going to be
a difficult World Cup for Brazil.

607
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,480
We're going for our third title,
and all the teams will be well prepared,

608
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,480
but we'll do our best to win it.

609
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,800
[crowd clamoring]

610
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,840
[announcer speaking indistinctly]

611
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,320
[crowd cheering, whistling]

612
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,840
[Pelé] I was chatting to some friends

613
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,560
about the Brazilian fans

614
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,880
who think we've already won it.

615
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,480
We've even been given banners

616
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:16,640
that said, "Three-time champions,"
to sign at the hotel.

617
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:20,360
I don't like that.
I think that weighs horribly on us.

618
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,160
You have to let things happen naturally.

619
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:25,960
In football, you win or lose on the pitch.

620
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,520
-We'll win, won't we, Pelé?
-God willing.

621
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,160
[Pelé] I had this dream
of becoming a world champion in England.

622
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,840
I thought Brazil could win
for the third time,

623
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,400
and then I would retire.

624
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,760
[reporter in English] Every day
is the same at the Lymm Hotel,

625
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,480
deep in the heart of Cheshire,

626
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,480
the hotel which is
the Brazilian headquarters.

627
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,560
But of course the center of attraction,
as always, is Pelé.

628
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,800
Everybody wants to speak to Pelé,

629
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,240
but still he keeps that smile on his face,

630
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,880
still he will answer anybody's questions.

631
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:20,720
Could you tell us, please--

632
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,160
-Can I speak?
-You speak a little English.

633
00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:26,080
[in Portuguese] What do you think
about this type of defensive football

634
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,680
where they mark you tightly?

635
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,280
[all chuckling]

636
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,320
-Are you used to it?
-We have to be.

637
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,960
We have to get used to playing like this.

638
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:38,720
Football used to be more classic,
something for the fans, a spectacle.

639
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:44,240
Now teams only play for results.
Football has become ugly.

640
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,200
Teams are playing harder.

641
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,240
-[indistinct chatter]
-[chuckling]

642
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,400
-[in English] Thank you very much.
-[men chuckling]

643
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:58,240
[man in Portuguese] The majority 
of players were there for the first time,

644
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:59,760
myself included.

645
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:01,680
Pelé was our leader

646
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,440
as he was the best player in Brazil

647
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:04,960
and in the world.

648
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,680
So in terms of strategy,

649
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,520
what our opponents did was
they created a system

650
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:11,880
to mark Pelé.

651
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,520
"We have to take down Pelé."

652
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:21,040
[commentator in English] And away we go
for Brazil's first match, 1966.

653
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,160
[rhythmic music playing]

654
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:26,320
Oh, down goes Pelé.

655
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,640
[spectators shouting]

656
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,600
Down goes Pelé again.

657
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,680
[reporter in Portuguese]
Football today is different.

658
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,720
Football today is tougher,

659
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:50,600
there's more marking,

660
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,240
teams play more defensively.

661
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,520
Today it's common to hear,
"Let's target Pelé!"

662
00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,840
"Put three players on him!"

663
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:06,400
[commentator 1 in English] There's Pelé…

664
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:07,560
Oh, it's a goal!

665
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,520
-[spectators cheering]
-Pelé has scored for Brazil.

666
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,280
[commentator 2]
Brazil, the world champions,

667
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,120
have started with a victory.

668
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,200
A splendid game of football.

669
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,120
-[dramatic music playing]
-[spectators chanting in unison]

670
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,520
[commentator 1]
Oh, a great chance now.

671
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,240
He's got to score.
He has scored for Hungary!

672
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:32,640
A splendid goal.

673
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,960
In comes…
A lovely goal by Farkas, a great goal!

674
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,320
The first time Brazil have been beaten
in a World Cup match

675
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,760
since Hungary beat them in 1954.

676
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,600
[reporter] It does seem that there's
a great emphasis on the physical side,

677
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,160
particularly so far as star players
are concerned.

678
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,560
[commentator 1] The most important match
that the Brazilians have played

679
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,760
since they won the final four years ago.

680
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,240
Eusébio… A good run in there by Eusébio.

681
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,680
That was a good ball, and it's there!

682
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:14,400
[commentator 2 shouting in Portuguese]

683
00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:17,080
[commentator 1 in English]
…the outside left,

684
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,520
so Portugal lead by a goal to nil.

685
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:20,640
There's Torres…

686
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,240
And another one! Eusébio!

687
00:47:25,240 --> 00:47:27,520
Brazil, the world champions,
really in trouble now.

688
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,040
They could be on their way out.

689
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:30,480
Silva.

690
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:32,960
Pelé.

691
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,280
Oh, again... Foul!

692
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,280
Caught twice, actually.
The referee let it go the first time.

693
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,560
A really sad sight.

694
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,200
The world's greatest footballer
off the pitch.

695
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:46,400
And my word, at this moment,

696
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,720
the Brazilians need someone like Pelé.

697
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,120
[man in Portuguese] I thought
the standard of refereeing was deplorable.

698
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,320
And as a result of this woeful refereeing,

699
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:06,000
we were subjected
to new levels of violence in each game.

700
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,680
[in English] We have, in these eight days,
more injured players than in eight years.

701
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:17,240
So it means something.

702
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,080
Yes, I think that this is the end
of a kingdom, let's say.

703
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:28,640
[commentator] Eusébio…

704
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,000
Oh my word!

705
00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:34,800
And Brazil, the world champions,

706
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,000
certainly on their way out
of the competition.

707
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:55,840
Pelé, who, one could say,
has been hammered out of the World Cup.

708
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,240
Obviously, the Brazilians
can't be happy about what happened.

709
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,240
They won the title in Sweden in 1958,
uh, they won it again in 1962,

710
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,720
and they started this competition,
remember, as favorites,

711
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,040
but they've gone out now
in the preliminary stages.

712
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:29,360
[reporter in Portuguese] People are saying
that this was your last World Cup.

713
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,680
We can't let that happen
because the world needs your football.

714
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,920
We need the spectacle
that you give the fans

715
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,840
as the greatest player in the world.
Is it true?

716
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:43,560
It is. People have asked me this question
a few times, so let me clear it up.

717
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,400
I don't intend to play
in a World Cup again

718
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,480
because I'm not lucky in World Cups.

719
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:54,200
This is the second one I've been to where
I only played two games and got injured.

720
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,000
[melancholic music playing]

721
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,120
It shocked the population.

722
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,160
And it shocked us,
the other players at the time.

723
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,160
Why would Pelé not want to play
for the national team

724
00:50:16,240 --> 00:50:20,120
if he was still young enough
to play two or three more World Cups?

725
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,800
[Pelé] Getting knocked out
of the World Cup back in England

726
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,200
was the saddest moment of my life.

727
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:35,600
I said, "Shit."

728
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,200
"What am I going to do now?"

729
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,760
And I thought, "I could end my run there."

730
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,320
I was really sad. I was going to quit.

731
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,800
[indistinct chatter]

732
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,040
[woman singing in Portuguese]

733
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,760
[Maria Lúcia]
My God, he was really, really upset.

734
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:16,280
It was difficult to motivate him
after that, to get him back in the game,

735
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,760
as he was really down at the time.

736
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:20,840
[indistinct chatter]

737
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,080
[reporter in English]
What do you think he will do now?

738
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:27,840
[Gosling]
I think he will play for his club,

739
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,840
two or three years more as he said.

740
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,680
And after that,
he'll play football only for entertainment

741
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,160
because he likes that, as you know.

742
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:38,560
[reporter] So as far as the World Cup
and European football is concerned,

743
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,720
perhaps we have seen the last
of the great Pelé?

744
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:41,800
I think so.

745
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,880
[ominous music playing]

746
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,840
Brazil performed really badly
at the World Cup in England back in '66.

747
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,600
Already under the dictatorship,

748
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:59,000
but not yet under the infamous AI-5,
Institutional Act Number Five,

749
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,760
that shut everything down
and was imposed in 1968.

750
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,200
[crowd clamoring]

751
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:18,080
-[whistle blowing]
-[people screaming]

752
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,480
[reporter] His Excellency
the President of the Republic

753
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,800
has decided to implement
an Institutional Act

754
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,840
that gives the government

755
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:40,800
the necessary tools
to secure safety, order and peace.

756
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:46,680
-[people clamoring]
-[sirens blaring]

757
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,520
It took away all possible freedom
in the country.

758
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,280
Anyone could get arrested

759
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,520
without the need for cause.

760
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,200
People would just disappear.

761
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,200
[ominous music playing]

762
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,680
My role in the AI-5 was that I signed it.

763
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,840
[interviewer] Some people have said
that it condoned torture.

764
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,600
Most definitely. Most definitely.

765
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:29,320
Because man is the only animal that,
when it has power,

766
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,200
is capable of murdering its own species.

767
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,800
[man] Médici was the dictator
at the height of the murders and torture.

768
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,400
He was, one could say,

769
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,520
the cruelest dictator Brazil ever had.

770
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,120
[crowd cheering]

771
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,880
He knew football was captivating,

772
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:14,280
so on Sundays it became custom
to see Gen. Emílio Garrastadzu Médici

773
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,160
in the Maracanã
holding a radio to his ear.

774
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,520
While people
were being tortured in prison,

775
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,160
the general was there with his radio,

776
00:54:23,240 --> 00:54:25,880
creating an image of himself
as a nice guy.

777
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:39,120
[crowds chanting indistinctly]

778
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,120
[interviewer]
What did you know about it at the time?

779
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,600
As a player, did you know about that life,
that culture, those things?

780
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:50,440
I mean,

781
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,440
if I were to say now
that I had never been aware of it,

782
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,280
it would be a lie.

783
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:58,760
I'd be lying.

784
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,880
There is a lot we never got to find out.

785
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,760
But there were also many stories,

786
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,720
we weren't sure if they were true or not.

787
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:13,440
Because when Santos was touring,
we'd be in Europe, away from home.

788
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,600
We would get news,
but how could we know what was true?

789
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,960
Here in Brazil,
we were always told to be careful

790
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:23,920
and not leave the hotel.

791
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,160
I was worried.

792
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,160
[interviewer] How was your relationship
with the government?

793
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,120
My doors were always open.

794
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:40,760
Everyone knows that, even back when...

795
00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:43,600
things were really bad.

796
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,960
They were always looking to see
if they could make me take sides.

797
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,600
[Cardoso] I don't know where he stands
on the political spectrum,

798
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,920
but Pelé has never identified
with any government.

799
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:05,800
He was always above all that.

800
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,760
[spectators cheering]

801
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,160
Every country needs a hero.

802
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,400
People need something to believe in.

803
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:25,760
-[commentator speaking Portuguese]
-[spectators cheering]

804
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:28,720
[Cardoso]
The feeling of belonging to a community

805
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,280
sometimes overcomes even
the biggest struggles of that community.

806
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,240
Sports are a part of that.

807
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:42,960
[commentator speaking Portuguese]

808
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,200
[Cardoso] People weren't paying attention
to politics.

809
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,360
They were paying attention
to what mattered the most to them,

810
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,360
which was living their everyday lives.

811
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,280
And Pelé helped with that.

812
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,960
[crowd cheering]

813
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,240
Pele's achievements are intertwined
with the national glory,

814
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:05,600
no matter who wins.

815
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,600
Dictatorship or democracy.

816
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,120
It will profit from either.

817
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,320
[commentator] Goal!

818
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,160
Pelé!

819
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,200
Pelé's here with me,

820
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,440
and he's going to give us
an exclusive interview.

821
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,200
Pelé! How emotional!

822
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,360
The pleasure is all mine,

823
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:33,040
especially when you consider
the expectations surrounding today.

824
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,280
You can't even imagine how I'm feeling.

825
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:39,200
The ball for the 1,000th goal.

826
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,280
It's the only one in the world

827
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:45,160
because no player
has ever achieved this feat.

828
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,800
[helicopter whirring]

829
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,040
[crowd chanting indistinctly]

830
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:06,040
Pelé's name has just been announced!

831
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,040
This is an indescribable feeling.

832
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:14,880
Show the people
that are cheering for the King.

833
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:20,600
The first sportsman in the world
with the chance to score 1,000 goals.

834
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,200
Congratulations, Pelé!
Congratulations, Brazil!

835
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:29,400
[commentator]
We're 14 minutes from the end of the game.

836
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:32,520
Here's Pelé…

837
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,480
A clear penalty!

838
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,480
[commentator continues indistinctly]

839
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,760
[da Silva] The thing that was left,
amidst all the sorrow, was football.

840
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:50,160
That is where Brazilians
would let off steam.

841
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:59,160
And the leader,
the unparalleled idol, was Pelé.

842
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,000
[spectators cheering]

843
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,880
[commentator] The stadium wants Pelé.

844
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:04,240
The biggest stadium in the world

845
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,320
is ready for the biggest player
in the world.

846
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,840
Here's Pelé
with the goal of the century at his feet.

847
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,960
[Pelé] I thought, "God,

848
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:25,840
if the keeper saves it,
or it hits the post and rebounds,

849
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:27,760
then where is the Santos team?"

850
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:29,320
There was no one there.

851
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:30,920
Then I look back...

852
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,400
and I see them all the way back there.

853
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,760
My legs were shaking. I thought,

854
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,040
"I can't miss this penalty."

855
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:43,120

[commentator shouting in Portuguese]

858
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,840
[Gil] Pelé was a shining star,

859
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,560
glowing in the black sky
of Brazilian life.

860
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,720
He symbolised a victorious
and powerful Brazil,

861
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:40,080
the promise of a fairer
and happier country.

862
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,280
That's what Pelé represented.

863
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:53,120
Pelé, we thank you eternally

864
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,360
for what you've done for Brazil,

865
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,160
and for our sport,
that is the soul of our people.

866
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:03,040
Pelé, get some well-deserved rest.

867
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,360
No one deserves it more than you.

868
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:15,360
[woman speaking indistinctly]

[crowd cheering]

872
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,160
[Pelé] All the famous people,
the idols that I met,

873
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,640
whenever I was told
they wanted to meet me, see me,

874
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:42,720
have lunch
or have some sort of encounter,

875
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:44,880
if I could go, I always would.

876
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,600
I never had an issue with that.

877
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,320
-[scattered applause]
-[camera shutters clicking]

878
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,760
[ominous music playing]

879
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,760
[inaudible]

880
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,400
[Pelé] I was told
the president wanted to congratulate me,

881
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:19,600
so I went.

882
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,360
I was never forced to do anything. Never.

883
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,880
[indistinct chatter]

884
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,880
[Vasconcellos] A lot of people looked less
at what he did on the pitch

885
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,720
and more at what he did off of it.

886
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,320
Off the pitch,
he was known for his political neutrality.

887
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,560
At that moment in history,
that worked against him.

888
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:51,120
[inaudible]

889
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,400
[man] I love Pelé, but that won't stop me
from criticizing him.

890
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,520
I thought his behaviour was that
of a Black man who says, "Yes, sir,"

891
01:02:58,600 --> 01:02:59,960
a submissive Black man

892
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:02,840
who accepts everything

893
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:06,320
and doesn't answer back,
question, or judge.

894
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,080
It's a criticism
I hold against him to this day.

895
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:16,800
Because just one statement from Pelé
would have gone a long way in Brazil.

896
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:25,880
[Kfouri] But Pelé, being who he was,

897
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,200
he couldn't just turn his back
on the president.

898
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:35,400
But then people would say,
"Hang on. Muhammad Ali, he was different."

899
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,080
Muhammad Ali was different.

900
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:41,240
And I applaud him for that.

901
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:42,440
[applause]

902
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,200
[man in English] They say
that every time that I enter the ring,

903
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,240
in a way, I'm going to war.

904
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,280
There's one hell of a lot of difference

905
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,960
in fighting in the ring
and going to war in Vietnam.

906
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,360
[audience applauding]

907
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,200
[Kfouri in Portuguese] Muhammad Ali knew

908
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,360
that he would be arrested
for draft evasion,

909
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,720
but he also knew
he faced no threat of being hurt,

910
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:06,800
of being tortured.

911
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,480
Pelé didn't have that guarantee.

912
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:13,840
Look.

913
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:16,560
Dictatorships are dictatorships.

914
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,640
Only those who have lived through it
know how things go.

915
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,280
[ominous music continues playing]

916
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,480
I don't think I could have done
anything different.

917
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,440
-[interviewer] Why?
-It wasn't possible.

918
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,160
"What were you doing
during the dictatorship?"

919
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:37,640
"Which side were you on?"

920
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:40,640
You get lost in these things.

921
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,840
I'm Brazilian.
I want what's best for my people.

922
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,200
[crowd clamoring]

923
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,920
I was no superman,
I didn't work miracles or anything.

924
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:54,200
I was just a normal person

925
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,360
whom God granted
the gift of being a football player.

926
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,360
But I am absolutely certain

927
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,720
that I've done much more for Brazil
with football,

928
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,040
in my own way,

929
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:12,360
than many politicians
who are paid to do so have done.

930
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:33,960
TERESÓPOLIS WELCOMES
OUR GOLDEN NATIONAL TEAM

931
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:37,200
COME ON, GOLDEN TEAM!

932
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,280
[Gil] It was a period
where the dictatorship in Brazil

933
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,240
was at its most extreme.

934
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:48,480
It was the peak of repression,
attacks on freedom of speech,

935
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,720
and restrictions of movement.

936
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,440
And in the middle of it all,
there lay an oasis

937
01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,320
of beauty and hope,

938
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,120
of positive and stimulating emotion,

939
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,400
which was the 1970 World Cup.

940
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,240
[suspenseful music playing]

941
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:16,440
[Kfouri] Since the fiasco
of the 1966 World Cup in England,

942
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:18,480
the national team was in turmoil.

943
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,880
Winning the World Cup became…

944
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:26,480
a governmental matter.

945
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,760
The team's staff was almost entirely
made up of military personnel.

946
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,320
A number of fascist slogans were created.

947
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,400
"Brazil, love it or leave it."

948
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,240
"No one can stop this country."

949
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,960
[crowd whistling]

950
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:57,000
A patriotic euphoria spread
through the country in the worst way,

951
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,280
and it was encouraged by the dictatorship.

952
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,680
Pelé doesn't like to talk about it,

953
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,880
but there were messages
from the dictatorship

954
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,040
saying he'd better play in the World Cup.

955
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,320
[Netto] It became something

956
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:21,160
of real personal importance
for the president.

957
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:22,960
[interviewer] Why?

958
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:25,400
Why? If the people are happy,

959
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,320
then the government is happy.

960
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,600
[interviewer] Did you feel pressure
from the government to come back?

961
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:35,760
Always.

962
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,760
I'd be asked to come and speak
to the administration,

963
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,000
to representatives, to governors...

964
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:47,640
The message was always
for me to come back.

965
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,240
[sinister music playing]

966
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:00,320
[Pelé] I was really torn.

967
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,040
I didn't want to play
in the '70 World Cup.

968
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:12,680
I didn't want to repeat
what had happened in England.

969
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,120
I was unsure.

970
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,960
I was worried, but I also missed it.

971
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,120
I just wanted to be remembered.

972
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:34,200
But that was it.

973
01:08:36,480 --> 01:08:39,160
It was going to be my last World Cup.

974
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,880
King, are you ever coming back?

975
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,920
If I were to say
that I played the 1970 World Cup

976
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,720
for the people of Brazil,

977
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,840
I would be lying to you
because it's not true.

978
01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,560
That World Cup was my personal challenge.

979
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,080
[indistinct shouting]

980
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,200
[coach speaking in Portuguese]

981
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:22,160
[reporter in English]
Almost as much an idol as Pelé

982
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,360
is the man who manages the Brazilian team

983
01:09:24,440 --> 01:09:27,120
for their build-up to Mexico,
João Saldanha.

984
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,000
The Brazilians are seeking
to organize their elusive greatness

985
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:33,040
and to modernize their style.

986
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:37,240
Only if they do this have they a hope
against Europe's best in Mexico.

987
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:41,960
Mr. Saldanha, it's widely held
by knowledgeable critics of football

988
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:44,600
that your style of football
has been overtaken

989
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:46,480
and outmoded by the Europeans.

990
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:47,840
Do you agree with that?

991
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:51,760
It's not easy to change
the national character.

992
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:53,600
Maybe it's dangerous.

993
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:57,560
But maybe we have time to change this.

994
01:09:57,640 --> 01:09:59,600
If we have time to change this,

995
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,920
we can play the same as you play.

996
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:05,840
That means organized.

997
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,800
[interviewer in Portuguese] For those
who don't know, who was Saldanha?

998
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,200
[chuckles]

999
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:18,640
The man was crazy. Crazy!

1000
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:20,880
But he was a bloody good guy.

1001
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,200
He was also demanding.

1002
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,280
He didn't care if you were Pelé,
the King of Football.

1003
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:29,680
He was still strict with him.
He was strict with everyone.

1004
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,520
[Pelé] That was a good thing about him.
He had no fear.

1005
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,760
He would just put his foot in his mouth
from time to time

1006
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:39,960
and say things that weren't necessary.

1007
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:41,520
[chuckles]

1008
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,640
But he wanted to be the big man in charge.

1009
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:49,400
But, hey, if you were to ask me
if he knew anything about football,

1010
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,760
personally, I'd say he didn't.

1011
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,600
We'd say,
"João, what about if we do this?"

1012
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:00,080
And he'd be like,
"I'm the coach. I'm in charge!"

1013
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,040
And we'd say, "Let's talk about it."

1014
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,920
[chuckles]
Because he would make a lot of decisions

1015
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,520
that we could see
weren't going to go well.

1016
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:13,560
Pelé, Saldanha has shown us his plans,

1017
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,160
and you're playing as a striker.

1018
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:18,920
You don't enjoy playing there, do you?

1019
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,080
It's not that I don't like playing there,

1020
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:27,560
but in my current condition,
I can play deeper.

1021
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:35,200
I've been playing deeper for 15 years

1022
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:40,240
and to ask me to change how I play
from one moment to the next

1023
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:41,560
just isn't possible.

1024
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:44,000
[ominous music playing]

1025
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,240
[Trajano]
There was something going on there.

1026
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,680
Saldanha would argue with Pelé
about petty things during training.

1027
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:01,800
They just didn't get along.

1028
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,600
[interviewer speaking in Portuguese]

1029
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,520
[Pelé] Given that João Saldanha
liked showing off,

1030
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:09,960
he gave an interview to a journalist

1031
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,120
saying that he was very concerned

1032
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,360
because I had undergone an eye exam,

1033
01:12:16,480 --> 01:12:18,160
and I couldn't see properly.

1034
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,200
[Ghivelder] João Saldanha was
very particular and unpredictable.

1035
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:30,960
I say that with affection.
He was a great friend of mine.

1036
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,680
But he also liked to lie a lot.

1037
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,080
I honestly can't explain
why he made up the story

1038
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,240
that Pelé was short-sighted
and couldn't play.

1039
01:12:47,480 --> 01:12:49,240
[Lima] Saldanha said he was blind.

1040
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:53,520
He knew how to push buttons.

1041
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:56,600
He said, "It's really bad."

1042
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,680
"He's blind.
He can't see shit." [chuckles]

1043
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:01,600
Pelé was fuming. [chuckles]

1044
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:05,080
[interviewer]
Pelé has issues with his eyesight.

1045
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:10,680
That information
came from the coach, João Saldanha.

1046
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,360
How did you react to this?

1047
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:18,480
I thought it was nasty

1048
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:22,720
but he clearly wanted
to lash out at someone.

1049
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:24,840
And he created a real storm.

1050
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,600
[reporter 1 in English] Saldanha insisted
that Pelé should be rested

1051
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:31,680
to preserve his strength for Mexico.

1052
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:36,000
[reporter 2] Saldanha wanted to drop Pelé,
but the Brazilian FA said no.

1053
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:43,480
I said,
"Well, I will take him off for caution."

1054
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,920
They said, "Please, please, don't. No."

1055
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,280
[interviewer]
In other words, for commercial reasons,

1056
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:53,440
it's impossible for the manager
of the Brazilian team to drop Pelé?

1057
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:54,360
Yes.

1058
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,320
[man in Portuguese] You have the king
of football of the world,

1059
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:00,640
the best player of all time,

1060
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:02,760
and you want to leave him on the bench?

1061
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,800
"Pelé's not playing well. He's terrible."

1062
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,240
It doesn't matter. He's got to play!

1063
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,000
So there were fights and arguments,

1064
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:19,120
and that's when the move to oust Saldanha
from the national team began.

1065
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:24,240
When the Brazilian FA offered me the job,
many people said they wanted someone else.

1066
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,600
I call this the right to have an opinion.

1067
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:30,080
I'm not a child and I won't resign.

1068
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,000
The government pulled some strings,

1069
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,560
not only to get Pelé back on the pitch,

1070
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,120
but they interfered
with the whole of football.

1071
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:44,200
The president and I have a lot in common.

1072
01:14:45,480 --> 01:14:48,440
We're both from the south,
we support the same club,

1073
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:50,720
and we like football.

1074
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:56,000
But I don't choose his ministers,
and the president doesn't pick my team.

1075
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,600
That way we understand each other well.

1076
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:02,200
When we watched that interview,
we were like, "Wow!"

1077
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:04,640
"The shit's going to hit the fan!"

1078
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:05,880
It was inevitable.

1079
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:08,520
They sacked Saldanha.

1080
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:12,520
[fast-paced music playing]

1081
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,400
[reporter in English]
So in a blaze of world publicity

1082
01:15:14,480 --> 01:15:18,800
at a press call at the Maracanã stadium,
enter new boss, Mário Zagallo.

1083
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:24,720
Zagallo, who in Sweden in 1958,
had played for Brazil alongside Pelé.

1084
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:31,080
[in Portuguese] I took over the position
two months before the World Cup.

1085
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,840
Pelé just said that he was upset…

1086
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:44,240
about what was all over the papers,

1087
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:47,400
what Saldanha had said
about him being blind.

1088
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:51,320
He wanted to answer his critics.

1089
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,080
[indistinct chatter]

1090
01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:02,080
[Pelé] During training, Zagallo came to me
and said, "What's going on, Pelé?"

1091
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:07,120
"You're not tackling when you're playing.
You're not yourself."

1092
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:10,920
And to be honest, he was right.

1093
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:16,880
I was concerned for myself.

1094
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,760
I wanted to be in good physical shape.

1095
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:26,960
[Zagallo]
During our first training session,

1096
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,560
he put his hand on my shoulder

1097
01:16:30,440 --> 01:16:31,760
and said, "Zagallo."

1098
01:16:33,440 --> 01:16:34,400
"Don't pick me."

1099
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:39,320
I said to him,

1100
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,000
"You are like no other."

1101
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:45,080
"I will never leave you on the bench."

1102
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,000
"You're going to help me
win the World Cup."

1103
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,360
[melancholic music playing]

1104
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:18,360
[crowd applauding]

1105
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,880
[spectators cheering]

1106
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:41,320
[commentator in English] And so
the 1970 World Cup can get underway.

1107
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:51,320
[players chanting]

1108
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:54,000
[reporter in English] Here in Mexico,
Pelé seeks to re-establish

1109
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:57,520
the World Cup reputation
he lost in England four years ago.

1110
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,880
Pelé is 29 now
and this is his fourth World Cup,

1111
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,600
and he badly wants to make it
his greatest World Cup.

1112
01:18:05,440 --> 01:18:07,800
We have been hearing in England
that the great Pelé,

1113
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,640
who has many millions of admirers
in England,

1114
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:14,160
is perhaps not in the right mood
for the World Cup.

1115
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:15,960
He had a bad time in the last one

1116
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:19,000
when he had problems
against Portugal and Bulgaria.

1117
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:23,040
What is the mood of Pelé now,
as he comes to his fourth World Cup?

1118
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:26,360
[in Portuguese]
I can happily talk about Pelé's mood

1119
01:18:26,440 --> 01:18:30,560
as I was lucky enough to play with him
in '58 and '62.

1120
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:32,280
And now as coach,

1121
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,200
I feel that Pelé is the same boy

1122
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:39,160
that helped us win both those World Cups.

1123
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:40,400
[whistle blowing]

1124
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,160
[crowd cheering]

1125
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:50,440
[commentator 1 in English]
Beautiful bit of football.

1126
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,200
And there's a chance! Pelé over the bar!

1127
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,680
[man in Portuguese]
Pelé's form has dipped to a level

1128
01:18:55,760 --> 01:19:00,560
where you can mark him differently
because he's no longer the Pelé of old.

1129
01:19:03,480 --> 01:19:05,200
[commentator 2 speaking Portuguese]

1130
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:09,800
Oh my God!

1131
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,280
[commentator in English]
An incredible surprise.

1132
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:16,880
Plants these Brazilians
right back on their heels.

1133
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:20,560
It will shake them all over South America
at this moment.

1134
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,720
[Rivellino in Portuguese] We left Brazil
without an ounce of credibility.

1135
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,680
Not even Brazilian fans
believed in the team.

1136
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,120
They thought
we wouldn't get through the first stage.

1137
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,040
[spectators cheering]

1138
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:36,040
[commentator in English]
But Pelé now moving for Brazil.

1139
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:38,840
Tostão.

1140
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,040
Oh, a wide, wide, wide one.

1141
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:47,080
Pelé with Tostão moving to his left.
Here's Tostão. Pelé going for the return.

1142
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:49,480
This is a situation, a difficult one.

1143
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:51,440
The foul given.

1144
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:56,240
It's Pelé…

1145
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:57,680
[whistle blowing]

1146
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,080
Rivellino! What a goal!

1147
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,200
What a goal! Rivellino!

1148
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:08,920
[in Portuguese] And then

1149
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:11,920
he started to enjoy it again.

1150
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,080
[commentator in English]
Kuna going in hard.

1151
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,040
But it's Pelé striding away again.

1152
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:21,480
Getting through a fair bit of work,
being chased a long way by Hrdlička.

1153
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:22,880
Pelé is still going.

1154
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,760
Still there with it… Jairzinho. Tostão!

1155
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:30,800
Well, that was a brave bit
of running there by Pelé.

1156
01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:35,640
[in Portuguese] His intelligence,
his confidence... What a show.

1157
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:42,440
[commentator speaking Portuguese]

1158
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,480
[Rivellino] Pelé was the pioneer
of the most fascinating non-goals

1159
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:53,200
in football history.

1160
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:55,800
Everyone scores
from the middle of the pitch now,

1161
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:57,520
but he was the first to try it.

1162
01:20:58,000 --> 01:20:59,520
And he did it in a World Cup.

1163
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,440
It was like a weight
had been lifted off him.

1164
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,840
"The King is here. I am the King."

1165
01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:09,560
[commentator 1 in English]
Gérson. There's Pelé running…

1166
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:11,800
Here's Pelé! Pelé now!

1167
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:15,080
Yes, there it is!
That is the touch of a master!

1168
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:19,600
-[commentator 2 in Portuguese] Goal....
-[commentator 1 in English] Pelé!

1169
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:21,920
[commentator 2 in Portuguese]
...Pelé!

1170
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,720
[commentator 2 speaking in Portuguese]

1171
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,000
[stadium announcement] Brazil!

1172
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:35,680
[Trajano] Well played. Wow!

1173
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:38,360
But that was just one game.

1174
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:41,760
In the World Cup,
you have to keep on winning.

1175
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,040
I think England

1176
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:47,640
are the big favorites.

1177
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:51,200
England are the holders,

1178
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,640
so they have to be favorites.

1179
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:55,880
But Brazil will give it everything.

1180
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:57,160
[in English] England against Brazil.

1181
01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:00,880
Pelé, Jairzinho, Bobby Moore,
Bobby Charlton. What a prospect.

1182
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,680
[spectators cheering]

1183
01:22:10,440 --> 01:22:13,800
[Pelé in Portuguese] We knew that
it would be a tough game against England.

1184
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:19,040
We studied how they played,
the way they defended.

1185
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:24,440
Everyone said the same thing.
Whoever won the match

1186
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:26,400
would go all the way to the final.

1187
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:29,080
[dramatic music playing]

1188
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:30,880
[commentator in English]
The world champions

1189
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:32,200
and the former world champions.

1190
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:33,760
Jairzinho…

1191
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:36,480
Oh, and he left Cooper standing.

1192
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:38,320
Pelé!

1193
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:39,600
[spectators cheering]

1194
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:41,120
What a save!

1195
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:43,800
[cheering continues]

1196
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,800
[man] I don't think he's lost
any of his footballing technique.

1197
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,280
Most certainly,
his thinking ability is second to none.

1198
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:51,560
Whether he's physically as fit,

1199
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:55,880
whether he puts as much into his game
as he used to, I don't know.

1200
01:22:57,720 --> 01:22:59,760
[commentator 1]
Pelé finding Mullery very difficult.

1201
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:01,520
Mullery sticking so close.

1202
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:03,920
It's certainly no match for boys.

1203
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:11,560
There's a lot of hard running going on
off the ball.

1204
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,040
It could be a real test of stamina,
this match, and fitness.

1205
01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:21,120
[commentator 2] Rivellino.
This is the fellow with the left foot.

1206
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:22,280
[indistinct commentary]

1207
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:23,880
What a shot! What a save!

1208
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,080
Sir Alf Ramsey looking
more and more worried

1209
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:29,960
about this game at the moment.

1210
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:33,400
Crowd really shouting
for "Brazil, Brazil" now.

1211
01:23:33,480 --> 01:23:35,080
Brazilians picking up the pace now,

1212
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,080
putting some real hard pressure
on this England defense.

1213
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:39,120
Tostão!

1214
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:41,200
And here's Pelé!

1215
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,280
[silence]

1216
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:45,600
[Jairzinho in Portuguese]
Pelé gets the ball,

1217
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,880
the defense line
immediately goes after him,

1218
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:50,720
and I'm then free on the diagonal.

1219
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,440
He had already seen me there
from further up the pitch.

1220
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:58,440
-[commentator] Jairzinho!
-[spectators cheering]

1221
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:03,120
[commentator shouting excitedly]

1222
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:07,120
[Jairzinho] It was
the most celebrated goal of my life.

1223
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:15,360
[chuckles]

1224
01:24:15,440 --> 01:24:17,040
Brazil leads 1-0.

1225
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:25,040
[commentator in English]
And with the roar of "Brazil, Brazil"

1226
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:27,200
echoing round this vast stadium,

1227
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:29,200
Brazil have beaten the world champions.

1228
01:24:30,480 --> 01:24:34,280
[Lima in Portuguese] It was spectacular.
A beautiful game, clean, like chess.

1229
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:37,360
And we won. Fuck, it was great.

1230
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:40,400
We got even more confident.

1231
01:24:40,480 --> 01:24:43,280
-[indistinct chatter]
-[upbeat music playing]

1232
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:57,760
[Pelé] 1970 was a real blessing.

1233
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,680
It was impressive how close we were.

1234
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:05,400
Everyone having fun
with each other like that,

1235
01:25:05,480 --> 01:25:07,800
it's not something you saw every day.

1236
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:09,800
[inaudible]

1237
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:14,800
[commentator speaking Portuguese]

1238
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:24,640
[crowd cheering]

1239
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:26,360
[stadium announcement] Brazil!

1240
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:42,960
[Brito] We were representing our country.

1241
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,360
It wasn't just for us.
It was for everyone.

1242
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:50,640
Every victory belonged to the people
of Brazil, and we kept on going.

1243
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:53,200
[inaudible singing]

1244
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:59,400
I covered the '70 World Cup,
and let me be clear,

1245
01:25:59,480 --> 01:26:03,080
I was against the dictatorship,
I went there to cheer for the opposition.

1246
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,720
We thought that if Brazil won,

1247
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:10,360
it would bolster the dictatorship,
and none of us wanted that.

1248
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:12,520
[whistle blowing]

1249
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,720
But with football,
your heart rules your head.

1250
01:26:17,480 --> 01:26:20,400
You forget your principles
when the ball starts rolling.

1251
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,440
And it was impossible
not to support our team.

1252
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:29,680
[commentator speaking Portuguese]

1253
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:38,480
[commentator speaking Portuguese]

1254
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:47,760
[reporter in English]
As for Brazil, if they play to form,

1255
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,120
it will take a good team to beat them.

1256
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,720
And we shouldn't want to be in Brazil
the day that happens.

1257
01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:58,960
[Vasconcellos in Portuguese]
We were one game away

1258
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,920
from being in the final of the World Cup.

1259
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:06,040
But the entire population
of Brazil was panicking.

1260
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:09,240
[inaudible]

1261
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:12,160
"Yes, we're doing well.
Pelé is doing great."

1262
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:13,520
"But it's Uruguay."

1263
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,880
"We all know how it goes against Uruguay."

1264
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:32,320
[reporter in Italian] We can't forget
that in the 1950 World Cup Final,

1265
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:34,320
staged in Rio de Janeiro,

1266
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:37,920
it was Uruguay
who defeated favorites Brazil

1267
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:40,480
to become world champions.

1268
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:49,480
Football is unpredictable,

1269
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:53,120
but could the same thing happen
20 years later?

1270
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,200
[ominous music playing]

1271
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:07,840
[Pelé in Portuguese] One of the things
I did before going to bed

1272
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:09,560
was to pray and give thanks.

1273
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:14,160
I said, "Man,
will everything go well tomorrow?"

1274
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:22,480
The psychological aspects
can really mess with you.

1275
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:30,000
[commentator in English] Brazil's passing
uncharacteristically loose so far.

1276
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:34,000
Not the sparkling Brazil
that we saw against Peru.

1277
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:35,560
[spectators groan]

1278
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:40,600
[commentator] This is Morales for Uruguay.

1279
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:42,640
And a good ball through here.
It's Cubilla!

1280
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:45,960
Right across and in! Cubilla!

1281
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:51,480
This is a real problem now for Brazil.

1282
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:54,880
[Pelé in Portuguese]
You just lose control.

1283
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:56,320
It's impossible to explain.

1284
01:29:04,480 --> 01:29:07,560
[commentator in English] Pelé's just
in front of him looking for the one-two.

1285
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:10,000
A very tricky situation now.

1286
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:15,960
Seven minutes to go to half-time.

1287
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:20,120
Brazil must worry more
and more as the minutes pass by.

1288
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:21,240
Tostão.

1289
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,160
Clodoaldo going into the middle
for the return and there it is!

1290
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:26,800
-What a goal! What a goal!
-[spectators cheering]

1291
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:28,680
Clodoaldo!

1292
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:39,080
[in Portuguese]
We were lucky it was 1-1 at half-time.

1293
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:45,960
I gave them a pep talk during the break.
"You're not even playing."

1294
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:51,040
"Now you all have to play
how you know best."

1295
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,560
"Not like how you were playing
in the first half."

1296
01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:58,640
"I don't need to say anything else."

1297
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:08,560
[Pelé] You get worried when things
don't get off to a great start.

1298
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:11,040
[heavy breathing]

1299
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:15,480
"I will have to. I am going to."
You have to really get going.

1300
01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:21,800
[commentator in English] Pelé.

1301
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:23,160
Tostão on his left.

1302
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:25,520
Pelé off on a run here.
He's got three men to beat.

1303
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:27,440
He's tripped over one.
He's in the penalty area!

1304
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:30,360
Is he brought down?
Outside says the referee!

1305
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:37,360
[Vasconcellos in Portuguese] I wonder 
if there was just one Pelé in that game,

1306
01:30:37,440 --> 01:30:39,800
because it seemed like
there were three of him.

1307
01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:43,040
It was the return of the superman.

1308
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:50,600
[commentator in English]
Pelé driving one back! What a shot!

1309
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:53,960
[Kfouri in Portuguese]
He transformed himself on the pitch.

1310
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:56,600
And winning became a goal
that was non-negotiable.

1311
01:30:57,880 --> 01:30:59,920
[commentator 1 in English]
Jairzinho, Pelé…

1312
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:02,840
[commentators overlapping]

1313
01:31:02,920 --> 01:31:06,440
[commentator 1 in English] Jairzinho.
And he's round Matosas!

1314
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:07,760
It's a goal!

1315
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:12,320
[commentator 2 speaking Portuguese]

1316
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:23,480
[spectators cheering]

1317
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,160
[commentator 1 in English]
3-1! The game absolutely sewn up.

1318
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:28,000
Rivellino!

1319
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,040
Pelé streaking away.
There's a beautiful pass for him.

1320
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:35,600
He's round the goalkeeper.
Just let it run on!

1321
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:37,640
And he scores… No!

1322
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:42,320
The most magnificent dummy.

1323
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:46,560
Now we know
why they call this man the King.

1324
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:48,960
Why he's known
as the greatest footballer in the world.

1325
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:52,440
[whistle blowing]

1326
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:55,320
[commentator 1]
Brazil are in the World Cup Final.

1327
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:57,400
They have beaten Uruguay.

1328
01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:07,240
[players shouting indistinctly]

1329
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,560
[players chanting in unison]

1330
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:19,480
[Pelé in Portuguese]
I was certain I was ready to play.

1331
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:27,920
But in sport, there's always
a bit of doubt, you know?

1332
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:32,840
[interviewer] So even the best players
in the world get nervous sometimes.

1333
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:35,080
Not sometimes, all the time.

1334
01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:39,680
[rhythmic music playing]

1335
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:48,480
[Pelé] When we arrived at the stadium,

1336
01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:53,640
I looked out of the windows
and saw a sea of Brazilians with flags,

1337
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:56,520
screaming, "Brazil! Pelé!"

1338
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,160
It made me cry.

1339
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,880
I wanted to stop crying, but I couldn't.

1340
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:11,160
I was the most experienced player there.

1341
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:14,600
The other players looked at me
and wondered, "Why is he crying?"

1342
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,920
I was overwhelmed,
overcome with emotion. It was a release.

1343
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:28,440
"Dear Lord, help me prepare
for my last World Cup."

1344
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:31,240
"I need your help
for this last World Cup."

1345
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:39,560
[sniffling]

1346
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:52,320
[inhales] I'm sorry...

1347
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:55,000
[sniffling continues]

1348
01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:02,120
I couldn't hold it in. I'm sorry.

1349
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:07,760
[spectators cheering]

1350
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:09,840
[horns blaring]

1351
01:34:15,880 --> 01:34:17,880
[commentator in English]
And here come the teams.

1352
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:19,960
Pelé

1353
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:24,200
playing in his second World Cup Final.

1354
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:26,800
The first one he played in
when he was only 17.

1355
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:31,120
[announcer in Portuguese]
The stadium is completely full.

1356
01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:35,160
It's the biggest occasion in sport.

1357
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:40,760
We are here and can only imagine
your expectations back home in Brazil.

1358
01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:44,520
What will the score be?

1359
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:53,320
[commentator in English] And away they go
for the 1970 World Cup Final.

1360
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:00,800
[Pelé in Portuguese] I didn't care
if I scored against Italy or played well.

1361
01:35:01,480 --> 01:35:03,880
What mattered was that Brazil won.

1362
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:07,960
God help me, I had to perform well.

1363
01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:09,200
[whistle blowing]

1364
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:28,880
[commentator 2 speaking Portuguese]

1365
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:31,840
[spectators cheering]

1366
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:45,920
[commentator 1 in English] Pelé leaping
right above the ball, heading it down.

1367
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:48,760
It's 1-0 for Brazil.

1368
01:35:49,440 --> 01:35:51,640
[stadium announcement] Brazil!

1369
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:55,040
[Kfouri in Portuguese]
He needed the 1970 World Cup.

1370
01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:58,680
He needed to score
that header against Italy.

1371
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:03,600
He needed to punch the air.

1372
01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:08,720
[commentator 1 in English] A word
of warning that in every World Cup Final

1373
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:09,720
since the war,

1374
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,520
the side to score first has lost.

1375
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:22,960
Boninsegna…

1376
01:36:24,440 --> 01:36:28,000
Boninsegna has scored! A dreadful mistake!

1377
01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:30,480
[spectators cheering]

1378
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:32,480
Boninsegna has equalized!

1379
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:48,640
[commentator 2 speaking Portuguese]

1380
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:55,960
[Pelé in Portuguese]
It had nothing to do with fear.

1381
01:36:56,040 --> 01:36:58,880
It was, I don't know,
a sense of responsibility.

1382
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:02,840
You try to step up to the responsibility,

1383
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,520
and then that's when
the emotion gets to you.

1384
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:11,480
[commentator 1] Jairzinho.

1385
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,480
[commentator 2 speaking Portuguese]

1386
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:18,480
[commentator 1 in English]
Great goal, a beauty!

1387
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:20,400
Tremendous goal by Gérson!

1388
01:37:20,480 --> 01:37:24,280
[commentator 2 speaking Portuguese]

1389
01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:28,200
[commentator 1 in English] Gérson scores
his first of the competition.

1390
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:30,640
Twenty-one minutes
of the second half gone.

1391
01:37:38,440 --> 01:37:40,440
[Jairzinho in Portuguese]
He always lifted us up.

1392
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:44,400
And he gave us what it took to be...

1393
01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:47,000
giants like him.

1394
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:54,040
[commentator 1 in English]
There's Pelé to Jairzinho!

1395
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:55,080
And he scores!

1396
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:59,160
[commentators overlapping indistinctly]

1397
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:05,800
[commentator 2 speaking Portuguese]

1398
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:16,760
[commentator 1 in English]
This is great stuff.

1399
01:38:19,440 --> 01:38:22,160
They just take it in turns
to give an exhibition.

1400
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:23,920
Jairzinho, number 7.

1401
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:27,120
Pelé.

1402
01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:29,160
Up goes Carlos Alberto on the right…

1403
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:31,920
-And it's four!
-[spectators cheering]

1404
01:38:35,200 --> 01:38:38,840
Oh, that was sheer delightful football.

1405
01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:42,600
-[horns blaring]
-[spectators cheering]

1406
01:38:51,440 --> 01:38:53,440
[Pelé in Portuguese]
I think it was just the relief.

1407
01:39:05,440 --> 01:39:08,920
The greatest gift
you get from victory isn't the trophy.

1408
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:12,840
It's the relief.

1409
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:20,880
[soothing music playing]

1410
01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:34,240
Three times he shouted
in the changing rooms

1411
01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:35,920
and it still gives me goosebumps.

1412
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,520
"I'm not dead!
I'm not dead! I'm not dead!"

1413
01:39:55,440 --> 01:39:57,240
[Zagallo] What else could Pelé want?

1414
01:39:57,920 --> 01:39:59,360
Pelé was everything.

1415
01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:03,920
Pelé was everything imaginable.

1416
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:26,840
[Maria Lúcia] It was the victory
he wanted to leave as his legacy.

1417
01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:34,400
To achieve what he set out to achieve,

1418
01:40:34,480 --> 01:40:36,280
and thank God he did it.

1419
01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:45,200
[indistinct shouting]

1420
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:50,800
[Cardoso] Pelé fused together
his glory and Brazil's.

1421
01:40:52,200 --> 01:40:55,480
It was like being at war
with the Brazilian flag in your hand.

1422
01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:01,160
His legend is our legend.

1423
01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:03,800
[crowd cheering]

1424
01:41:07,480 --> 01:41:11,400
[Pelé] The 1970 World Cup
was the best moment of my life,

1425
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:14,920
but I think
it was even more important for the nation,

1426
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:21,520
because if Brazil had lost in Mexico,
things would have gotten a lot worse.

1427
01:41:23,720 --> 01:41:27,640
Brazil's victory gave the whole country
a moment to breathe.

1428
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:36,360
The 1970 World Cup was for the nation,
not for the sport.

1429
01:41:37,480 --> 01:41:38,840
There's no doubt about it.

1430
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:43,000
[crowd cheering]

1431
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:03,840
[Kfouri] Obviously, the dictatorship
took advantage of that victory.

1432
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:12,960
But the people of Brazil
have never given credit

1433
01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:17,240
to the dictator Gen. Garrastadzu Médici
for the World Cup title.

1434
01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:24,360
Just look at how history remembered
this dictatorship.

1435
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:27,000
It wasn't Médici's victory.

1436
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:31,320
It was Pelé's.

1437
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:41,160
-[gentle acoustic music playing]
-[rhythmic tapping]

1438
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:13,240
[spectators cheering]

1439
01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:20,720
[reporter in Portuguese]
Thousands of white scarves

1440
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:22,280
bidding farewell to Pelé

1441
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:24,960
on his last game for Brazil.

1442
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:35,440
LONG LIVE THE KING

1443
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:47,720
[announcer] He's enchanted fans
who say his name in every language.

1444
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:50,480
Pehle, Peely, Pelé, Pele.

1445
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:51,720
Whatever the language,

1446
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:55,640
he means
the greatest Brazilian player of all time.

1447
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:05,360
[announcer 2 in English]
The love of the man for the people,

1448
01:44:05,440 --> 01:44:07,160
the love of the people for the man.

1449
01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:09,080
The kind of a hero we all want to see.

1450
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:11,320
[commentator] Pelé…

1451
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:15,200
Pelé has scored!

1452
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:16,960
Love!

1453
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:18,920
[spectators] Love!

1454
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:20,360
Love!

1455
01:44:20,440 --> 01:44:21,960
[spectators] Love!

1456
01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:23,440
I love!

1457
01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:24,920
[spectators] Love!

1458
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:27,240
Thank you very much!

1459
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:37,080
[rhythmic tapping]

1460
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:47,640
[upbeat music playing]
