I found at Netflix a documentary about the life of Pele, for me and for many others the best football (soccer) player in the world.
It is very interesting and it is narrated by an old Pele. There are his goals at the world cups along the years. And there is his incredible modesty.
I have seen lately, and not so lately, very good football players. But they lack the greatness he had.
For me it is especially interesting because my late husband was a pro soccer player at the same time that Pele was playing and several times he played against him. And I can see in this documentary why he admired Pele so much.
He was a great man. He was called O melhor do mundo!

@marguicha yes and nowadays the current footballers most of them have millions of drama because of clout chasing

@marguicha My feeling is that we had better sport players in the past.

@marguicha Exactly, they want to be a "Prima Donna", be mentioned by the media all the time, it's not more like the gentlemen of the past times. Your husband was lucky to be paid for something a loved to do.

He is a legend and a brand in himself. Somehow I even feel that in earlier generations famous people were more modest. It must be a great joy and pride for your husband to play against him.
My husband is a big soccer fan and he loves Pele.
I would suggest this documentary to him.

Lately, all people want is money to buy lots of things that they will discard soon. It wasn´t that way in my generation.

@marguicha I would agree with that. I see that things have changed drastically in the last two decades. Consumerism and materialism has invaded everywhere even in the relationships.. things are getting toxic. It was so beautiful in the old days.

This one is a documentary and Pele himself answered questions and told about himself.

@marguicha Ah yes, I guess typical documentary movie then. I thought you were interested in the biopic movie I mentioned too. My apology for misunderstanding then.

He was a much humbler man than the players we have today.
