他的父母可能已将他命名为Edson Arantes do Nascimento，但在世界其他地方，他被称为Pele。 现在退休的职业足球前锋在巴西15岁开始为桑托斯足球俱乐部效力时震惊了巴西。 然后，他加入了该国的国家足球队，并帮助他们赢得了三届世界杯冠军，从而着迷了整个世界。 尽管贝利（Pele）在足球领域的成就被誉为民族英雄，但无论在场上还是场下，贝利（Pele）都是有影响力的人物。 他与联合国儿童基金会等组织的合作帮助改善了世界各地儿童的条件。 年轻的读者可以从短语“美丽的比赛”中了解到更多与足球相关的人。

His parents may have named him Edson Arantes do Nascimento, but to the rest of the world, he is known as Pele. The now-retired professional soccer forward stunned Brazil when he began playing for the Santos soccer club at age fifteen. He then went on to captivate the world when he joined his country's national soccer team and helped them win three World Cup championships. Although he's hailed as a national hero for his accomplishments in soccer, Pele has been an influential person both on and off the pitch. His work with organisations like UNICEF has helped improve conditions for children around the world. Young readers can learn more about the man who connected soccer with the phrase "The Beautiful Game."
