Pele s World Cup assists and career assists??

In the past, only the number of goals was counted, and the number of assists was not counted, and the argument of assists was recently moved from basketball.

Damn, where are the statistics?

You ask Bailey, and I guess he doesn't know either.

Many people know that Pele scored 1,281 goals in his life, which is indeed a remarkable number, but I am afraid that not many people know how much water is behind this number.

Let's take a look at Pele's career first:

Bauru Athletics (1953-1956); Santos (1956-1974); New York Universe (1975-1977).

Winner of 11 São Paulo State League titles

Winner of 11 top scorers in the São Paulo State League

Pelé scored 58 goals in the São Paulo State League in 1958 alone.

We know that Brazil has a total of 26 continents and a federal district (Brasilia), São Paulo is just one of them, which is equivalent to a province in our country, but the São Paulo continental league also has about 20 teams, which is like a regional league in a province. Take our Shandong as an analogy, just like the Qingdao team, Yantai team, Weihai team, Laiwu team, Zaozhuang team and so on in Shandong Province.

Santos was the strongest team in São Paulo at the time, and there were many players from the Brazilian national team who had won the World Cup

Gilmar (1958, 1962), Mauro (1962), Claudo Aldo (1970), Carlos Alberto (1970).

In addition, at that time, the Santos club also had a large number of outstanding players, such as Pagao, Pepe, Ditte, Zito, Dolvar Cotinho, etc., which combined to form the world's first-class football team at that time. Playing in a local league with this luxurious division, Pele has received support that is too disproportionate to the opponents he faces.

In such a team, Pele scored 58 goals in the 1958 São Paulo State League alone, played in the São Paulo State League for a total of 21 years, then played for another three years in the world's third-rate league, the Major League Soccer, and the rest was a national championship plus some friendly goals.

It can be seen that Pele's career goals are basically achieved in the lower leagues, and there is no doubt that his quality is low, so how can we correctly compare Pele's real level? That's only to be compared in the World Cup:

Fontaine, his contemporary.

Participated in 1 World Cup.

6 games. Scored 13 goals.

Average goals per game.

A little later Muller.

Participated in 2 World Cups.

13 games.

Scored 14 goals. Average goals per game.

Bailey. Participated in 4 World Cups.

18 games.

Scored 12 goals. Average goals per game.

What's more, Pele has Garrincha (top scorer in the '62 World Cup), Vava (joint top scorer in the '62 World Cup), Didi, Zagallo and other best players in the world that year. Even though Pele was left in only one of the group stage games in '62, the other Brazilian players still lifted the World Cup with ease.

Through the above analysis, we can know how Pele's 1281 career goals came about, if it wasn't for the 60s when he was standing and defending, if he didn't participate in such a low-level game, if it wasn't for the support of so many strong teammates around him, Pele's 1281 goals really have to draw the largest in history?

In his 20-year football career, he has scored a total of 1,283 goals.

He has represented the national team in the DAO World Cup 4 times, and won the World Cup 3 times.

Pelé (born October 23, 1940), born into a poor family in Brazil, was one of the greatest sports stars of the 20th century and was awarded the title of "The King of Football" by FIFA.
