“Who has not dreamed of being Pele as a child? Born in 1968, Didier Deschamps is one of those youngsters who grew up in a world where football saw only one star, a REAL star – Pelé. So it’s only natural that the Blues coach paid tribute to The King minutes after the announcement of his death on Thursday. “With the disappearance of Pelé, football is losing one of its best legends, if not its finest. Like all legends, the king seemed immortal. Generations and generations of fans of our sport have dreamed about it and continue to dream of it. »
Didier Deschamps sort of missed the mark against Argentina to join Pelé in a three-win football pantheon. One as a player and two as a coach, while Pelé will always be the first – and so far only – to win three on the pitch. Deschamps still remembers the skill of the Brazilian number 10.
“With his number 10, he put his technical virtuosity, his courage, his creativity at the service of his teams and in particular Brazil, with whom he won three world championships,” he describes. Pele was a union of beauty and efficiency. His talent and his track record will forever remain in our memory. To his family, his loved ones and the Brazilian people, I express my sincere condolences and all my sympathy. The king will remain king forever. »
