This is a comparison between MARADONA & pele for you Darke.
Someone may say that MARADONA was a poor role model because of his drug use and his "Hand-of-God" goal. Pele was a much better person.
This argument is silly, unless you're planning to give a good citizenship award. We are talking who was the best in the soccer field
Pele only ever played in Brazil and the United States. The Brazilian league wasn't the best in the world at the time and the American league was, well, a joke. Maradona competed at the highest level in Spain and in Serie A, turning a traditional loser (Napoli) into one of the best sides in the world. On the other hand Pele passed up the opportunity to play in Europe
OK, so Pele did play in four World Cups, winning three of them. But take a closer look. In 1958, he only managed a few appearances, in 1962 he played in just one game and in 1966 Brazil went out early. So technically he only "won" one World Cup, in 1970. And that was probably the best team in history.
Maradona's stats don't compare to Pele's. Pele scored many more goals (over 1200). Playing for Brazil, he scored 81 times in 94 games, compared to Maradona's 35 goals in 91 appearances. But don't forget that they played different positions, Pele was a forward, MARADONA was a midfielder.
Maradona's every step was in the limelight, not just in the country he played in, but throughout the world. Back then, media coverage isn't what it is now. Most of the world outside Brazil only saw Pele in the World Cup and in Santos' two World Club Championships. How many games is that in total? Twenty? Twenty-five? Compare that to Maradona, who was everywhere throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. Pele's fame is based on legend and hearsay. Most of his backers never saw him play or, at best, saw him only occasionally. Maradona's fame is based on fact.
Don't forget that MARADONA won the world cup alone, he did not have a very good team but because his skills he made it possible.
In Itali, with Napoli he won the champioship twice, and a WEFA cup. Napoli had never been in the lighlights before and after MARADONA left.
So for you my friend Darke and for everyone who's gone answer to this sondazh, once again, MARADONA's fame is based in fact, everyone has seen it, Pele's is based on legend and hearsay.
