Outside the stadium, the messenger of football culture

Pele is not only an outstanding football player, but also a disseminator of football culture and a messenger of peace. His football skills are superb, his dribbling is like a butterfly flying through flowers, his shooting is like a whistling cannonball, and his ball control skills are superb. Every part of his body seems to be in tune with the football, which makes the audience intoxicated. His game perfectly combines competition and art, and every touch of the ball is like writing a gorgeous poem.
With his superb football skills and unique personal charm, Pele made Santos the object of invitation from teams all over the world, opening up a "tour" era that lasted more than ten years. During this period, Pele and his Santos team traveled all over the world, and wherever they went, the streets were empty. In order to see their style, fans would line up in long lines and even stay up all night. In the European trip in 1959 alone, they played more than 20 invitational games in more than 40 days. Pele's superb skills and unique charm made fans fall in love with him and spread football and culture to more corners of the world.
In 1969, Santos went to Africa to play. At that time, Nigeria was in the midst of a civil war. In order to allow Pele to play in Nigeria, the warring parties reached a ceasefire agreement, which lasted for 48 hours. On the day of the game, Pele showed off his skills on the court, dribbling, passing, and shooting. Every move of his attracted cheers and applause from the audience. At that moment, the charm of football surpassed the cruelty of war, allowing people to temporarily forget the pain and hatred and feel the power of peace and unity.

In the later stage of his career, Pele joined the New York Cosmos in the United States. At that time, football in the United States was far less popular than it is now, and was called a "football desert". However, Pele's arrival completely changed this situation. He used his strength and influence to ignite Americans' passion for football. During his time with the New York Cosmos, Pele helped the team win the North American Football Super Bowl. Every game he played attracted a large number of spectators, which gradually attracted attention and love for football in the United States. Many American children fell in love with football because of Pele and devoted themselves to this sport, laying a solid foundation for the development of American football. In 1977, Pele came to China with the New York Cosmos and started his first trip to China. He played in the Beijing Workers' Stadium and Shanghai Jiangwan Stadium, and caused a huge sensation wherever he went. At that time, all 80,000 seats in the Beijing Workers' Stadium were full, and tickets for the Shanghai Jiangwan Stadium were also hard to come by. The fans' enthusiasm for Pele was beyond imagination. During the game, Pele's wonderful performance feasted the eyes of Chinese fans, and his superb skills and unique charm left a deep impression on Chinese fans. After retiring, Pele did not stay away from football. He served as the Minister of Sports of Brazil, the Image Ambassador of the Brazilian World Cup, and actively participated in the development and promotion of football. He also served as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, dedicated to helping poor children everywhere and rekindling their love for life through football. He often personally participates in charity events, sending football equipment to children in poor areas, teaching them football skills, and encouraging them to pursue their dreams. He interprets the power of football with his actions and makes football a tool to change the world.
