Who is better for you, Diego Armando Maradona or Pele? If he achieved the feat in italy 1973, it would be a diff story. Maradona, unlike Pele, had a lacklustre first World Cup outing as he was man-marked out of the game; he scored just twice in four matches and was red-carded in his final outing, against Brazil. “There will never be another Pele. If anything that argument proves that Santos was the best, and the most stacked with talent, team. The football he received as a gift at age 3 changed his life. His rise to the peak of his career was reflected in the most successful era in the Italian club’s history, which was no coincidence. If he achieved the feat in italy 1973, it would be a diff story. Why did you take into account Zicos whole career in Brazil and then compared it to his two seasons in Italy at aprox. Vote to see result and collect 1 XP. For this alone, the Brazilian legend is considered as the best player in football history by many.

In 1982, Maradona moved to Europe and played for Barcelona FC for two seasons, where he scored 38 goals in 58 appearances.He suffered an injury and following a dispute with the club president he was transferred to Napoli. You dont remotely answer any of my concerns. Great players in Brazil gravitated towards few superteams, just as you said it yourself,.. other Brazilian teams were exponentially worse.. having that said, they had best teams (Pele being part of one), but that also mean Pele majority of time played against those "exponentially worse" teams cuze thats the format of the league. They both had a very successful career with their respective national teams, but the ones who praise Maradona above everyone else suggest that Diego had it way more difficult because football evolved into a much more defensive battle. Even if all the best Brazilian players played in the league, it would need a heck of a lot players to make an entire league competitive, especially in Brazil where they play all sorts of regional and national leagues, and cups with bunch of teams involved.

— 137. . Pele announced his arrival on the grand stage as a 17-year-old at the 1958 World Cup, and went on to win the Young Player of the Tournament award, finishing second top goalscorer with six goals in four matches – including one in the final. That 60s can be compared to 80s and so on. While pele won three world cups he was not their most important player in 58 and 62. He became also the top scorer in Italy in 1987-1988.

Another wrong pre-assumption is that quality of football remained the same. Check out these videos with the best of Pele and Maradona.

Again, assuming that every game he has played against European teams were against those guys is wrong, plus there is a debate itself whether those are the best players of all time, which, the guy who wrote this, took for granted. Even Zidane registered more goals than assists in his career ... and mainly at the same time deal with the pressure generated by the expectations place upon you, Group A - USA, Colombia, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Group C - Mexico, Uruguay, Jamaica, Venezuela, Group D - Argentina, Chile, Panama, Bolivia, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, & the former Soviet Repu, (You must log in or sign up to post here.). Obviously you are trying to point out 'facts" or was this use to make Pele the better player?

If it contains abusive or inappropriate language its author will be penalized. Maradona came agonisingly close four years later too, missing out at the final hurdle against the same opposition.

America 1973 is hardly a place that underwent a football revolution at the time, which by itself makes the achievment invalid in the way you try to represent it. Problem judging brazilian greats like pele,ronaldo or ronaldinho is that all of them had good teams.

Playing for Santos, the Brazilian forward won six league trophies, two Copa Libertadores titles, and two Intercontinental titles during his prime. Debate on the quality of football back then still remains an issue here. He talks about league being consisted of the best players at the time therefore it was competitive, then he names a huge portion of great players at the time playing in only one of Pele's opponent.

Another detail that they share, besides being very curious, is the position in which the two played. Supporting striker, attacking Midfielder or Striker.

been described as the world's greatest footballers. Diffen LLC, n.d. He was the fifth of eight children and, like Pele, he grew up in a poor environment. Additionally Maradona led Argentina to 1986 FIFA World Cup victory. And Pele’s opinion of his rival? His next two World Cups were marred with injuries though as he could play only one game in the 1962 edition while he was literally kicked out of the 1966 tournament through persistent fouling by Bulgaria and then Portugal. In 1957, he bacame a regular in Santos FC starting squad and the top scorer in the league. This might take a few seconds, please wait.

Punto." That matters a lot if you are going to compare someone like Di Stefano and Zidane or anyone else. 1973 by "america" is a mere number.. dont even try to compare that to Serie A in 80s. He scored Brazil's goal and become the youngest ever player to score in an international match. He also competed in indoor football playing with the local team Radium. I have argued too many times the Pele vs Maradona thing and I know it will not change the point of view of the people involved, it never does, but here: Pele said that he quite believe he has more assists than goals. Even if he did all of that, it's still wouldnt mean he would keep on evolving tactically even further. Edit or create new comparisons in your area of expertise. I dont know why did you even make such preassumption. He, himself said that Brazil was the best team of the era and that players remained at Brazilian clubs. And Pele’s opinionof his rival? Maradona started off his career with Argentinos Juniors, winning the Primera Division title in his fifth and final season with the club. Became the coach of Argentina in 2010 FIFA world cup.

This was only the first of his record of 1281 goals in 1363 games.

there is no delusion on my part because i am not claiming anything, all i am saying is that you are biased with your arguments... which is obvious. While pele won three world cups he was not their most important player in 58 and 62. Zico was an exception i think as he never had a really reliable back four behind him, denying him a world cup laurel.was the same case with messi in south africa.

When I asked someone who's a better footballer among them a guy told me the following things. Both inspired their countries to World Cup victories and still continue to be the benchmark for the illustrious South American nations when a new star comes on to the block. button.

Diego could’ve won that trophy even if he hadn’t played, which would’ve given him a much bigger trophy case and vast experience for his international career. We are certain that you will find the best option according to your personal taste, or maybe you prefer to pick a modern option as the best player in history. If you have to pick one of the two as the best, things will get incredibly difficult because both of them are considered the best of their era. Pele retired in 1977, but his public life continued becoming a UN ambassador for the environment in 1992 and a UNESCO Goodwill ambassador in 1995.

America 1973 is hardly a place that underwent a football revolution at the time, which by itself makes the achievment invalid in the way you try to represent it. Being a playmaker doesnt mean you are tactically inteligent player. I am not an old timer. During his career as a professional player, Pele also played a total of two finals but he is credited with three of these medals because his national team also won the 1962 World Cup in Chile.
