Pele was the greatest u kid😅

@@netaji-thebritishslayer explain why

Rummenigge did not know even 1% of Pelé's career, he has no competence to give his opinion. His opinion is biased and shows dislike for Brazilian football. Pelé faced much more difficulties than Maradona, because he played in a poor country and yet he became THREE times world champion for the national team and TWO times for his club. Pelé played with heavy cleats, on terrible fields, against violent opponents and overcame EVERYTHING. He scored 1,282 GOLS, there is no comparison possible

@@antoniopassos895 Exactly! In fact, in this interview he explained that! That's why he said his "older" teammates prefer Pelé, like the best defensive player of all time: Beckenbauer. In fact, if you type for a Beckenbauer gift, probably you'll see one when Pelé humiliated him. 😅

@@antoniopassos895 Maradona skill n team player better than Pele.

Yes ...the absolute truth ....diego is football ....

@@antoniopassos895 Wow , its not like Maradona didn't face all those challenges too . You talk about Rummenigge being biased , yet you're biased your damn self , so shut your ass up . A lot of that 1,282 goal tally was against amateur sides and football sides of the Brazilian army . So its a lot lower than that and it may not even be that high as this just going iff what pele says .

True. I don't think Argentina 1986 could have reached more than quarter finals without him.

Nah, he didn't win anything before or after Napoli. Not even Boca accepted him back.

Two different ERA. We must celebrate them both. Its like comparing MJ and LeBron James you just cannot.

Exactly. Thank you!!

In the end both maradona and pele are the most overrated players

Who saw both, says pele was the best...

@@cesaraugusto2836 No one can argue on pele importance and greatness ..he is probably the best but I believe this is a matter of subjective personal opinion .....I know some who saw both and favor Diego .......

Same for Pele. Many who saw both of them play say Pele was the best. For his longevity and what he achieved is unparalleled

@@martinschidozieezuma6741 Pele always had a better team and he was set up on many of his goals. An amazing player, but to go to the cup in 86 while having the pressure of not only his whole nation but the whole American continent and world and after the conflict of the Flaukland Islands and to elevate his play and his team to lift the cup, yes he did cheat with la mano de dios but the goals he scored against Italia and Belgium and the best goal in the world cup, ever,,,ever...ever...undisputed by admission of all of his peers including Gary Linerker who even said that second goal was the only time in his life that he contemplated applauding the opposition... c' mon man...then he goes to Napoli and win the Scudetto, Champions league and UEFA and the Citta of Napoles elevate him to the Pantheon of the Gods...sorry but Pele never couldn't had done that...Maradona is was and will always be as Victor Hugo Morales describe him on that second fucking golazoo against England..." el genio del futbol mundial" Maradona is God of futbol and Pele maybe a Cardinal but never like Maradona...never... never...never.....

@@cesaraugusto2836 nah....thats just romantiscm....Pele was great but he averaged 40 touches per game....Diego 80......he was alll over the place!....Pele was the greatest striker during the 60´s but he wasn't as magical

For me ,Pelé nr. 1

The thing with Maradona is that he was always dominant in every game. Very rarely he was not the main attraction. He was just in another football sphere!!!!

Sorry but even Charlton before Best...

Amazing player. And yes maybe even the best. But the most influential football personality for me is Johan Cruijff. As player, trainer and adviser among the best. The xavi/iniesta/messi era wouldn’t have been there without his believe in technical small players. As trainer he used low budget players to win with spectacular football. Above all that, maybe his greatest accomplishment, he used his fame for his foundation which tries to let as many people/children as possible, enjoy sports.

Yes, there’s no doubt about it at all. The greatest player ever, there’s simply no denying.

No

Yes

@@shinkazuya2024 I don't have to argue, I like Maradona better and he will always do that.

Messi 😅😅

Those Who don't agree, Just open ur F..king eyes, pay attention and watch closely. Then u don't have to argue who's the best football player of all times 👑MARADONA👑

Exactly right. Ich habe Maradona live in Muenchen gesehen im Europapokal gegen Bayern. Damals sind wir als Teenager in der Suedkurve gestanden und haben uns die Haelse roh geschriehen (Fuer Bayern natuerlich!) Nach dem Spiel war ich neben Bayern vor allem Maradona-Fan. Bayern hatte nie eine Chance. Die Ausstrahlung die Maradona auf dem Feld hatte, war schon etwas einzigartiges.

@@arminius301 Es war das Halbfinale Muenchen - Neapel 1989. (Such nach Napoli - Munich 1989) Ich bin mir sicher, da gibt es Videos hier auf YT. Was mich damals am meisten beeindruckt hat, war wie sich Maradona vor dem Spiel aufgewaermt hat. Der hat dem Publikum im Olympiastadion eine Show abgeliefert, die ich nie vergessen werde. Auch das Spiel war super, nur halt damals nicht unser gewuenschter Ausgang :)

@@arminius301 Ich war ueberrascht, wie nahe mir der Tod von Maradona gegangen ist. Ich war 16 wie ich das Spiel damals gesehen habe. Irgendwie repraesentierte er meine Jugend. Vielleicht war es das. Ich habe anscheinend einen aehnlichen Lebenslauf wie Du. Auch ich in ausgewandert, allerdings nach Kanada. Alles Gute!

Danke!

i have never seen a more spot on comment

Is so good that he lost a wc final, c'mon man, both are goats, its impossible to compare

@@adelinogoncalves1180 losing world cup final can happen to anyone who does not play for the strongest teams maradonas argentina teams were almost a one man army without diego argentina would never have had as much success in 2 straight world cups the closest player to maradona was cruyff who won 3 straight champions league titles with ajax which is a crazy achievement but he also lost a world cup final. btw in the 1990s world cup maradona was playing with a left foot injury ( his strongest foot ) his foot was swollen the whole tournament

The argentines who saw Pelé play including Maradona’s coaches and teammates all testify without national bias that Pelé was the greatest they ever saw.

Well said Sir. Garrincha the little bird won Brazil the World Cup in ‘62

Pele was brutally injured

So?

Give stats not mere words

@@twahirabasi9765 here's a stat.. how many WCS did Messi win single handedly. Those who saw Maradona in his prime, and I'm fortunate to be one of them will tell you , in an age where tackles from behind were not outlawed and defenders could kick the life out of attackers, Maradona rose above all that and was accorded by his peers as the greatest , Messi himself says Maradona was the greatest. Messi and Ronaldo would not have survived a season with the rough treatment Maradona got from defenders... They eventually changed the law because Van Bastens career was cut short because of horrific tackles on his ankles. You want stats , ask Messi who the greatest is

@@shamadam1 ， Maradonna never won a world cup single handedley may be be if you mean that he used to score goals with his hands!. No one can win a match single handedly, there was a team work and other players such as Buruchagga and others were great. His teammates scored more goals than the number of goals he scored himself in that tournament, In 2014 Messi took Argentina to the worldcup finals, he scored more goals than any of his teammates. Messi didn't score a goal in the final so what!!, even Maradona too has never scored any goal in the final!. Take an example of the 1990 worldcup Marodonna didn't score any goal in the whole tournament even though Argentina reached the finals, he only had 2 assists in the whole tournament. The fact that Argentine didn't win the worldcup with Messi in 2014 is unfortunate because football is a teamwork but Messi did put his team in the vicinity of winning the worldcup because his performance was superb, he was the best player of the tournament

@@twahirabasi9765 well said.

Pele'simply the best..maradona is overrated

@Andy M don’t know that man never done drugs, thanks for sharing ur personal experiences.

@Andy M no mandy, it was efedrine and 2nd, drugs don't turn an average player into the greatest ever, look at you coke head & useless with a ball hahaha loser

@F. Lares I think Mauricio seems to be talking about the 90' team, where Diego seem to have only: Caniggia and Goycoechea. Ha, ha ha!!!

@@manueldi928 No one of them played like Garrincha, for example, even if they were good players. And in the WC 1990 finals the argentinean team doesn't have 4 team headline players, including Caniggia, who couldn't play in that match. So, obviously 1 player can't win a match, like it happenss with Messi, but for sure, Pele has a dream team around him, watch the names in the brazilian team of Mexico 1970.

@@mharg6408 As top individual performances I put Maradona 86' Number 1, Kempes 78' Number 2 and Garrincha 62' Number 3. The videos show it all

I’m German and I was surprised about it too 😄

On Mar 27, 2015, German legend Rummenigge said this sentence in an interview.

Doesn’t need to.

Pelé, the best.

Not even Messi!

Pelé was the Athlete of the century over Muhhamad Ali, Jordan, Jesse Owens, Kareem Abdul, Bill Russell... and was the player of the century over Top 5, Top 10, and Top 15 players and won 3 World Cups It's over.

Rip kala deigo amando maradona lives in Gandhi Nagar, mysore

pele averaged 40 touches per game....Diego 80...and every touch was glorious......If you ever played football you should recognize magic...

@@SlndrBoi99 and that statistic tells ... nothing really.

@@bearcb it tells how much impact Diego had on the game ...mosy fouled player in 82 86 90 ...abnd that touch....he´s on another level

@@SlndrBoi99 I don’t think so, the number of touches a player does depends on a lot of factors. Maradona was always the main player of his teams, and he was an advanced midfielder, so it’s natural that he received the ball more often. Pele was also the star player, but both Santos and Brazil had great players around him, so the game was not as much concentrated on him. Look, of course Maradona was a great player, I’m not disputing that. He’s one of the greatest, for sure. But is he above all the other greats? No. People tend to consider the greatest the one they saw playing. Ask someone who was young in early 2000s, he’ll say Ronaldo. In 2010s, Ronaldinho. Nowadays, they say Messi or CR7.

At Napoli there were great players too forexample Careca

filip yalin and you're a fucking idiot kid

by that argument you could say that Messi and ronaldo are better than all of them because they play in a more competetive era.

@@brucecamel7428 it was far far more difficult for attacking players during Diegos era compared to now

@@23yidarmy very true.... they were allowed to kick the fuck out of you.

Liar So the goals he scored is nothing

@@Atheneon Yes

Khaled Ibrahim l Football was soft in Peles time! What are you talking about, that's utter crap. If anything it was tougher when Pele was playing, because they actually tried to put you out of the game and was one of the reasons he didn't play in every march in one World Cup. In another he played with an injury from them continually trying to hack him down. The balls where heavier, non of this fancy free kicks where it goes in different directions and as for the boots if you got kicked on the leg you'd bloody feel it. If I remember correctly, didn't they use to have steel toe caps, because I'm sure my first football boots were? Tackle from behind was legit and they used to take the ball and the man for good measure. Maradona was a great player, but give this bull that Pele had it easier.

Mark Briers That's right pal. In 66 they nearly ended Pele's career.

THe were no subs used until the 1970 world cup and then it was only one. A defensive tactic was to shop the defender down because it was very rare to be sent off of cumulative tackles. It was because of Madonna that they brought in the professional foul rule. Pele wasn't babied. Maradonna received far more protection from the referees. Take a look at the 1966 WC. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NxTrIlRJOOM.html
