Fútbol. Balompié. El juego bonito. El deporte más popular del mundo tiene muchos nombres pero, por muchas décadas, los aficionados han estado de acuerdo en una cosa: el mayor jugador de todos los tiempos fue Pelé. Ahora, la estrella legendaria, embajador y personaje humanitario comparte su visión total de lo que el fútbol puede lograr. Ahora, Pelé comparte por primera vez su historia, su experiencia y sus ideas sobre este juego.
Antes de Messi, antes de Ronaldo, antes de Beckham estaba Edson Arantes do Nascimento --conocido simplemente como Pelé--. Un tesoro nacional, sus logros en la cancha fueron magia pura: tres campeonatos mundiales --algo sin precedentes-- y el récord de goleo de todos los tiempos: 1,282 goles en una carrera de veinte años. Ahora, cuando después de sesenta años la Copa Mundial regresa a Brasil --país al que con frecuencia se le reconoce haber perfeccionando este deporte--, el fútbol tiene una oportunidad única para lograr un cambio mundial. Y como embajador oficial del torneo, Pelé está listo para ser el rostro del progreso. Por primera vez, Pelé explora la historia reciente de este juego y ofrece nuevas ideas acerca del papel del fútbol como conector y animador de jugadores alrededor del mundo. Pelé ha viajado por todo el planeta en su papel de embajador mundial del fútbol y de apoyo a organizaciones de beneficencia como la UNICEF, promoviendo la influencia positiva del fútbol en la producción de cambios en los jóvenes, las comunidades y hasta en países enteros. Con detalles extraordinarios y una franqueza sin precedentes, Pelé comparte sus experiencias más inspiradoras, sus historias más conmovedoras y sus lecciones más difíciles, y pone en perspectiva el juego del fútbol. Ese es el legado de Pelé su manera de transmitir todo lo que ha aprendido y de inspirar a una nueva generación. En Porque el fútbol importa, Pelé detalla sus metas para el futuro del fútbol y, por extensión, del mundo.Pelé started his professional soccer career at the age of sixteen for Santos Futebol Clube, a club he stayed with for nearly two decades. In 1958, he won his first World Cup for Brazil at age seventeen--the youngest winner ever. He went on to win another two World Cups in 1962 and 1970, making him the only player in the world today with three Jules Rimet trophies. He is the all-time leading scorer in the history of the sport (1,283 goals in 1,366 matches).Named one of the "Top 20 Most Important People of the 20th Century" (Time) and "Football Player of the Century" (FIFA), Pelé today maintains his commitment to the sport and to society by fulfilling various roles as spokesperson, ambassador, and philanthropist.
