In 2020, Pelé was asked to name the ten greatest footballers: however, he had to expand his list to include two more players

The “King of Football” Pelé created a list of the 12 best footballers of all time in 2020.

It would be hard to find a more suitable candidate for such a survey.

“That’s a very difficult question. I’ll probably name more than ten people.”

The first player the Brazilian named was Maradona, followed by Alfredo Di Stefano. Trapattoni, Garrincha, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Carlos Alberto, Zidane, Ronaldo and Iniesta are also on the list.

Pelé is above all about Ronaldo Nazario expressed:

“He’s probably the best nine of all time. He was incredible. Power, speed, skill, all his movements were perfect. I haven’t seen combinations like that since,” Pelé admitted.

However, the legendary Brazilian could Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo not ignored, so the list had to be expanded.

“Today we are lucky to see such players live – Cristiano and Messi. They are absolutely incredible,” said Pelé.
