Under guidance from manager Vicente Feola (Vincent D'Onofrio), young (just 17 years of age) Pelé (Kevin De Paula) utilizes his street football skills to lead Brazil to the World Cup in 1958 in Sweden, against the reigning Olympic champions Soviets.
Brazil was lucky to qualify, has mixed race team and injuries to boot as it entered the final. They are forced the play the 17-year-old reserve.In 1950 Brazil. Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Dico) is a young boy, making a living, polishing boots. He and his buddies play football (which is made out of stolen clothes). Brazil is playing the world cup final against Uruguay.
Celeste (Mariana Nunes), Pele's mother doesn't like Dico's interest in football and wants him to stick to polishing shoes and earning a living for the family (they are dirt poor). Dondinho (Seu Jorge), former footballer and father of Pelé, is more supportive.
Brazil loses the 1950 final 2-1 to Uruguay. Dico promises his crying father that one day he will win the world cup for Brazil. Celeste tells Dico that Dondinho was a gifted footballer but was dropped when he hurt his knees and ended up as a janitor.While helping his mom scrub floors at a rich person's apartment, Dico hears that Waldemar De Brito (Milton Gonçalves), former Brazilian footballer and scout, is looking for players for his club. Dico wanted to be like Pele (a goalkeeper for a local club, Vasco), and Jose teases him with this nickname. The nickname sticks.
José Altafini "Mazzola" (Diego Boneta) is the son of the rich family and bullies Dico. Dico shows up at the selection trials and soon, his team is up against the snobs headed by Jose. Dico's team doesn't have boots, so they steal some bags of peanuts and try to sell them to raise enough money to buy boots, but Jose sees them and gets into a fight with Dico, thwarting his plans. But his friend manages to get them some old shoes.The final match is attended by Brito. Soon Dico is down 6-0. He sees Dondinho in the audience and feels sad. Pele removes shoes. Barefoot, Pele shows his skill as Jose and his team can't even touch him, while he scores a goal. In 10 mins, Pele brings the score to 6-5, but the clock runs out. The crowd chants for Pele. Brito gives his card to Dondinho, but Celeste is dead against the idea of Pele playing football.
She forces Pele to join his father as a janitor at the local hospital. The life goes out from Pele's eyes. Dondinho can sense this and trains Pele with mangoes, to keep his spark alive. Pele grows to be a teenager. One day Celeste sees them. She relents and calls Brito.
Brito recruits Pele for the Santos football club. Pele is 15. He is selected for the youth team. due to the new styles of coaching, Pele's confidence is shot, and he earns a reputation for not scoring goals. He decides to leave, but Brito brings him back from the railway station.Brito tells Pele how the original football was developed as a form a martial art by African slaves who escaped their Portuguese masters. When they returned, after slavery was abolished, martial arts were outlawed and thus the Africans brought their art to football. But this art was lost in Brazil and Brita wants Pele to bring it back.
In the next match, Pele abandons the formation style being forced by his coach and plays in his own way, scoring a spectacular goal.
Pele is on his way and soon plays for the Junior team. Soon, he is selected for the Pro team. Pele is the top scorer even there.Jose Mazzola and Pele are both selected for the Brazilian team for the 1958 world cup. Pele is only 16.
Feola (Vincent D'Onofrio), the head coach of Brazil national team at 1958 FIFA World Cup doesn't like the Ginga style as Brazil thinks it lost the 1950 world cup due to that style of play. Jose represents the modern European style.
Pele's colleagues are Garrincha (Felipe Simas) and Zito (Fernando Caruso). Feola is dead against the traditional Ginga style and makes Pele promise never to revert to it. This promise is broken in the very next match, when Pele reverts to Ginga style, but ends up busting his knee in the process.
It is too late to replace Pele on the team and the physio is not sure if Pele can play. Feola is criticized for allowing the Ginga street style of football in the national team.Brazil heads to the world cup after Paraguay withdrew from the qualifiers, giving Brazil a free pass. Swedes are favorites to win. Pele is under medical care by the team doctor.
First match is vs Austria, which Brazil wins 2-0. The knee is still too weak, and the doctor advises Feola against playing Pele, but Feola wants the doctor the clear him. They hold England 0-0, but 3 of their star players (including Jose) are injured. The next match is against the Soviets and Feola has no choice, but to play Pele. Pele has a torrid time and is pushed around by the large Soviets and booed by the crowd.
But Pele survives and plays the next match with France, the Semi-final. Half time is 1-1, but Pele is starting to find his feet. At half time Pele meets Jose and admits that Jose should play instead of him. Jose tells Pele to play with his heart, as Jose is afraid to be on the pitch, while Pele is not.
Pele reverts to Ginga and scores his first goal at the world cup. Pele scores a hat-trick in the match and Brazil wins 5-1.Brazil is to meet hosts Sweden in the finals. George Raynor (Colm Meaney), the head coach of the Sweden national team at the 1958 FIFA World Cup, promises that his boys will take Pele out of the equation in the final. He calls the Brazilians undisciplined and abnormal (due to their mixed-race team).
Feola tells his boys to play the Brazilian way and abandons his European formations. No team from outside Europe has ever won the world cup in Europe.
The Swedes hunt Pele down and knock him around on the field. Soon, they are up 1-0. Pele spots some blacks watching the match in the last stands and is inspired. He reverts to Ginga and the Swedes can't touch him even as he engages half the team and allows his team mates to score 2 goals.
Now the entire Brazilian team starts playing in Ginga harmony and they smile as they enjoy themselves. Pele scores 2 goals in the final. The crowd now applauds the Brazilians. Brazil wins 5-2.Pele was declared a national treasure in 1961. Pele and Brazil won the 1962 and 1970 world cups as well. He remains the youngest winner of world cup at 17 years, and the only player to have won 3 world cups.

Ecco

Ecco (1963)

Looks back at the extraordinary 12-year period in which Pelé, the only man to win three World Cup titles, went from young superstar in 1958 to national hero in 1970: a radical yet turbulent era in Brazil's history.
1970 world cup in Mexico. Pele is under a lot of pressure. His form has declined, and age is not on his side. The pressure is building, and Pele hated it.Pele was born in 1940 in Brazil. Brazil was a poor and a developing country. His father was a footballer with nickname Dondinho. Maria Lucia is Pele's sister. Pele always looked up to his father and wanted to play football. His father got injured and the club stopped paying him, so Pele got a job polishing boots. Pele never thought he would become a famous footballer.
Dondinho delivered Pele could become a great footballer and moved the family to Santos, which had a football club. Pepe and Dorval recognized Pele's talent from the get-go. He was called up for the 1958 world cup in Sweden. Brazil wasn't known for football, and they weren't the favorites. People were astonished to see a black man (as they had never seen one before)1950 world cup was in Brazil and there were great hopes that Brazil would win the cup and step onto the world stage as a proud nation. But Brazil lost 2-1 to Uruguay. It was a tragedy.
1958. Brazil vs Wales, Quarter Final. Pele scores the winning goal. Brazil Vs France, semi-Final. Pele scores 3 goals in a 5-2 victory. Brazil vs Sweden, Final. Sweden went ahead, but Brazil won 5-2. Pele was a national hero at 17 years of age.
Everyone wanted Pele, and he was seen as royalty. He was the poor black kid, who made it big. Santos became a big club due to Pele. Santos even began to play with international clubs, due to Pele. By 21 years, he had scored 355 goals. Santos refused to sell Pele despite many lucrative offers.Pele put Santos on the world map and they became world champions of club football. Pele is now old and, on a wheelchair, but he still meets his old team-mates for lunch, and they exchange stories of their youth.
1962 world cup in Chile. Pele is 22 and is at the peak of his powers. But in the 2nd game against Czech, Pele was injured and didn't play in the world cup again. His replacement was Amarildo. Brazil plays the Czech in final. Amarildo scores and Brazil and now 2 times world champions.
Pele became the icon of a confident Brazil, taking its place in the world. Pele loved being the center of attention. In 1964, the military in Brazil under General Pinto, deposed the supposedly communist government. The coup was supported by the CIA to avoid Soviets expanding their influence in South America. Pele simply accepted the regime and lived with itPele married Rose in 1966. Pele had many commercial commitments and hence less and less time for family. This required more time than just playing football. Pele also admits that it was hard for him to remain faithful to his wife, with all the girls all over the world throwing themselves at him. Some of his affairs resulted in children. Pele claims his wife knew about his affairs.
1966 world cup in England. Expectations are sky high for Brazil to win a third time. Pele was captain. Opposition had a strategy to mark Pele out of the tournament. First match against Bulgaria. Pele is brought down by aggressive marking yet ends up scoring & winning. Next match is against Hungary. Hungary beats Brazil. Portugal is next. Portugal brings down Pele so hard that he has to be carried off the pitch. The refereeing was deplorable. In 8 days, there were more injuries in the Brazilian camp than in 8 years before that. Portugal wins and Brazil is out of the competition.Pele intends not to play in a world cup again as he thinks he is unlucky in world cups. 1968 was a yr of riots in Brazil as the dictatorship enacted Institutional act # 5, which took away all civilian rights and freedoms. Medici is the dictator, who used IA5 for all forms of torture and state capture. People simply disappeared.
Pele never aligned himself with any Govt but used football to rise above the politics and bring joy during the gloomiest times. Pele has reached 1000 goals in his career. 19th Nov 1969, Santos plays Vasco & Pele scores his 1000th goal. Pele represented hope in a torn country.
Pele met Medici and the public turned against him. People saw him as a submissive black man. Many people compare Pele to Muhammed Ali, who refused to fight the Vietnam war. Ali never faced torture or murder, but Pele didn't have that guarantee.1970 world cup rolled around in Mexico. Winning was crucial and support staff was made up of Military personnel. The dictatorship forced Pele to play in the world cup. Saldanha is the manager of the team and brings in changes to the Brazilian style of play. Saldanha and Pele never got along. Saldanha made up a story that Pele was short sighted and couldn't play. Pele was furious. Brazil FA intervened, and Pele was not dropped from the team. Saldanha was forced to quit by the dictatorship.
Zagallo came in 2 months before the world cup. He picks Pele to play.
First match against Czech. Pele is struggling and is not the same player as before. But Brazil somehow manages to score the first goal and Pele began to enjoy himself. His confidence returned. Brazil wins 4-1. Next is England, who are the current World Champions. The entire British defense goes after Pele, who helps his teammate score the first goal. Brazil wins 1-0.The team spirit was great. They beat Romania 3-2. The people knew that winning the world cup would bolster the dictatorship, yet the entire country supported their team. They beat Peru 4-2 in the Quarter Finals. Semi-Final is against Uruguay, to whom Brazil lost in the final of the 1950 world cup. The nation panics. Brazil was lucky to be 1-1 at half time. Pele transforms himself in the 2nd half and attacks relentlessly. Brazil wins 3-1.
Brazil plays Italy in the final. Pele is nervous and emotional. He prays to God before the final match. Pele scores, but in finals the side that scores first, mostly loses. Italy equalizes. Brazil scores the next 3 and wins the final 4-1. Pele had achieved his destiny.
3 years later, Pele said goodbye to Santos. He joined US club, Cosmos. 1283 goals in 1367 games. Only player to win world cup 3 times.
