The debate about whether Pele or Maradona is the best footballer in the world has always been heated in the world of football. Debate among fans has often led to a war of words between the two.
The question of whether Pele or Maradona is better in world football is still unanswered. Small passes and big moves made Pele a football wizard. The Argentina godman is a player who is good at scoring goals by hitting the ball from one corner of the pitch to the other. Pele fans have said that there is no comparison between Pele who won the World Cup three times and Maradona who won the World Cup once. But the other side argued that Maradona is single-handedly changing the course of the game.
Pele scored 12 goals in 14 World Cup matches and Maradona scored eight goals in 21 matches. At the height of the debate, an online poll was conducted in 2000 to determine who was the best footballer. Maradona became the winner. But when the other side said that those who took part in the vote did not see Pele’s game and did not accept this election, the vote was again conducted through FIFA magazine. Pele won this one. But FIFA has announced that both are good enough to end the dispute. But Maradona boycotted the FIFA awards ceremony saying he’s from Cayman.
Maradona will be a good player. But he can’t throw with his right foot. Another controversy was sparked by Pele’s claim that a header in an important match was handball. Pele would have won the World Cup. But Maradona replied that he didn’t know what was beyond South America in club football. Maradona once even claimed that Pele was responsible for the death of the Brazilian star Garincha. Pele replied that he was crazy. Once during a football friendly in Paris, the two held hands and became a spectacle of the football world.
