In our podcast “Minute Papillon!

“, we find a new episode of our series

Once upon a time, in the history of sport

.

The football Euro launched,

20 Minutes

chooses to tell you the story of the 1,000th goal of Pelé, Brazilian football legend.

Could his record of 1,283 goals scored be overturned one day?

Another record could fall during the international competition which takes place from June 11 to July 11, 2021. More than 50 years after Pelé's feat, the spotlight is on another football star, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Stress when approaching records

With 104 goals, the Portuguese striker is on course to surpass the first international to have scored more than 100 goals with his country.

This is the Iranian Ali Daei, author of 109 goals in 149 games between 1993 and 2006.

This goal record makes "CR7" nervous, as we could see during the Serbia-Portugal match in March.

The player left the pitch after a disallowed goal.

An attitude, a stress that Pelé could possibly understand.

In 1969, the Brazilian felt growing tension ahead of his 1,000th goal.

A feat.

Although… Another genius footballer, the Brazilian Arthur Friedenreich, could be the great forgotten in this history of goal records.

An oversight in the history of football?

In this episode, our guest is Michel Raspaud, sociologist and historian, professor emeritus at the University of Grenoble-Alpes.

He wrote, in 2010,

History of football in Brazil

(Chandeigne editions).

With him, we return to the exploit of Pelé, as well as his personality.

We are also talking about Arthur Friedenreich, the other Brazilian player from the beginning of the 20th century, who was, perhaps, a Pelé before his time...

If you want to know more about that first time, it's as easy as a click in the audio player above.
