Vasily Utkin explained why Pele is called the king of football.


The three-time world champion with the Brazilian national team died on December 29. He was 82 years old.


The King is dead, but there is no new King, and thus long live no one.


Pele is the King, and Maradona, without a doubt, should be compared with another person. And such a person was nearby in Pele`s career. He was an assistant, but not a squire. It was Garrincha. Maradona is the world`s Garrincha next to Pele.


Garrincha in Brazil was called the Joy of the People. He was somewhat the opposite of Pele. After all, Garrincha is crippled. He has one leg shorter than the other. He made a style out of it;but one way or another, Pele was a demonstration of human capabilities.


He`s a super athlete. It`s hard to be like that. In fact, it is, of course, more difficult to be at the top, being Garrincha. By the way, Pele did not come to Garrincha`s funeral. But you never know what reasons there were.


He is the King. None of the potential rivals were so comprehensively gifted. Maradona only had his left leg, and there was no comparison in power. Cruyff had too special a motivation. He`s not a king, he`s the Lennon of football. Messi is a genius. There is no need to crown him.


He is the king. Mighty. The first of the stars to become a brand. Synthesis of power and genius. And the brain.


If it weren`t for being smart, Ronaldinho could have beaten him. A phenomenal athlete with skills and a cosmic gaming mindset;But...

But a fool. And Pele was smart. And all that can be said about this. . .


The king is dead. And no one is happy, " wrote the journalist and blogger.
