Commentator Quang Huy: Pele redefines the number 10 in football

Thanh Vũ |

Commentator Quang Huy could not help but feel overwhelmed when he heard the news of "football king" Pele passing away at the age of 82.

"Pele is still holding many records at the moment, especially the only one who has won the world championship 3 times in 1958, 1962 and 1970, something that no one has been able to break over the years.

For me, the most special thing about Pele's great career is that he was born, defined as a modern number 10. Any boy who has been chasing his passion for football since childhood until adulthood, affirming his name, has dreamed of wearing the No. 10 shirt" - commentator Quang Huy shared his feelings when he heard the news of Pele's passing.

"After Pele are Maradona, platini, Baggio, Totti and then Messi, Mbappe today. Pele was originally a striker but gradually improved and by the 1970 World Cup he had set the standard for the modern number 10. He did not play high but took a little back, both providing and scoring.

Tactics in football can change, but for a very long period, number 10 has always been extremely important. Number 10 is the "conductor" to help the team in a deadlock find improvement and breakthroughs in the playing style" - Commentator Huy added.

In his illustrious career, Pele has scored many goals. However, only one of them left an impression on commentator Quang Huy.

"Pele scored many beautiful goals but I remember most well as the opening goal in the 1970 World Cup final, opening Brazil's 4-1 victory over Italy. At the age of 30, Pele still jumps very high to head the ball to score. A typical goal for a great athlete, faster, higher, stronger" - Commentator Quang Huy said.

Pele was born on October 23, 1940, birth name was Edson Arantes by Nascimento. He scored 77 goals in 92 matches for the Selecao and was the only player to win the World Cup three times (1998, 1962, 1970).

In club jersey, Pele only played for the two teams, Santos and New York Cosmos. He won a total of 27 different titles, including 6 Brazilian national championships and 2 Copa Libertador.
