You wonder who is the greatest soccer player? Well let’s just say that if you know soccer history you would narrow the soccer players choices down to Péle or Maradona.

In my opinion Pele is far greater than Maradona. He actually invented the famous bicycle kick. What also makes him great is that, as a kid he used coconuts as soccer balls. His family couldn’t afford a real leather soccer ball. When he moved to America he finally got to play with a real soccer ball. Amazingly he was a natural. On and on he faced even the greatest players. Since he kicked coconuts which are harder and heavier than a real soccer ball, he had an amazingly hard shot.

Why is Pele better than Maradona? Pele won more balle de copa award which are the greatest soccer players playing in a European League. He then played on for Brazil and won the word cup against Argentina which Maradona is on.

As he became more famous he was on magazines, news articles, and even commercials in no time. When he retired his fame was never corrupted.

That’s why you would call him a legend.
