This book is life story of “Pele”. I will introduce about this book. His real name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento but people call him “Pele”. I do not know where the name comes from. According to this book, he does not know either.
Pele was born on October 23, 1940 in Brazil. When he was a little child, his father said, “Dico has soccer player’s legs.” (His family called him “Dico”) But, Dico’s mother did not want to be a soccer player because his father was a soccer player, but he did not make much money.
Dico liked soccer very much. Evenings and weekends, he played soccer with his friends. In the afternoons, he was with his father, Dondinho. Dondinho was his soccer teacher. Dico was a very good soccer player.
In 1958, when he was 17 years old, he became a member of Brazilian World Cup team. Pele scored six goals in his first World Cup, and Brazil won. Then, he became famous in the world not only in Brazil. In 1962 and 1970, Brazil won the World Cup too.
He stopped playing in 1977. After that, he worked for UNISEF, and started to work for the Brazilian government.
Feelings
When I went to the library to look for reading book, I found this book. I decided to borrow it immediately. Because, I love soccer and I respect Pele very much. I think he is the best soccer player of all players I know. I could know about him more by this book. After reading this book, I like him better than before.
