    Diego Maradona and Pele are inarguably two of the great players in the history of the game. But they also have an eternal rivalry, punctuated by arguments and bitterness, and sustained by ego and vanity. In this video, James Montague charts the chronology of their unique, decades-long relationship.

    Nice documentary, but you forgot something very important: Diego Maradona was the first important player to fight againts corruption on FIFA's authorities, the same people that now (20+ years after he started to battle against them) are being investigated by justice. And he was the biggest promoter of the first International Syndicate for footballers (the precedent for modern Fifpro). Pele was and always will always be on FIFAs side. All the people who criticizes Maradona talk about the cheating and the addictions and excess in his personal life, but he always used the power of his figure to fight for the ones that couldn't. He never forgot where he came from... And that's a reason why a lot of powerful people attack, dislike and criticize Maradona.

      Fred Vasquez The world LOVES to hate on Diego. He’s an easy target because he was a “bad boy” in the public eye compared to Pele (who was far from a saint as you mentioned). The fact remains Pele never carried a prominent EUROPEAN team from 0 to glory like DM did with Napoli, while simultaneously doing it with Argentina in the WC. I get so tired of the anti-Argentine and anti-Southern Italian bias in football, especially from the English lads. FORZA NAPOLI SEMPRE!!! D10S FOREVER!

    I find the whole ‘They didn’t fulfil their potential’ idea rather infuriating, because it downplays the importance of discipline and mental fortitude to football. ‘If Maradona hadn’t taken drugs’ then he’d have been a different person and a better footballer but he wasn’t. A player’s mental attributes off the pitch are as much part of their footballing talent as their technical skill or creativity

    • @whitenbald
      @whitenbald 3 роки тому +197

      Completely agree. Footballer = Talent + Mentality. You know some people say "I could've made it as a professional"? I am sort of one of them - I played at a championship team's academy but I quit around the age of 14 because the pressure was too much. The physical talent and attributes were there, but the mental fortitude was not. I could never have coped with all the pressure from the fans and coaches! I cared way too much about what the manager thought of me rather than just playing for fun (which is when I played my best football)... so in conclusion I COULDN'T have made it pro, I didn't have the mentality!

    For people who don’t know; at 6:20, Maradona referred to “Senna” as in Ayrton Senna. Ayrton Senna was a Formula 1 driver who won 3 world drivers championships, and was regarded by many at the time (and some still now) as the greatest racing driver of all time. Many described him as having a god given talent unlike anyone before him as he performed many previously unthinkably great feats in his time in F1. He tragically died in a crash at the dark weekend of Imola 1994 but his legacy lives on as many still consider him the greatest Brazilian athlete alongside, or even ahead, of Pelé, as Maradona pointed out in his snide remark.

    • @TheMeeesterT
      @TheMeeesterT 3 роки тому +35

      @penaldo choking against lazio, ac milan and napoli not sure I agree with that. Barthez had the tournament of his career. Thuram went on to be one of the best defenders in the world and scored two great goals in one game. Lauren Blanc was a great central defender. Desailly was also a top defender. Lizarazu was widely regarded as the second best left back in the world at the time.
      Deschamps was the Juve captain. Djorkaeff, Pires & Dugarry were no slouches.
      The only problem they had were strikers who weren't clinical enough at that time but still went on to be world class.
      I'm not trying to start an argument just offering my point of view in that the France 98 squad was class and even without Zidane would have been one of the favourites in their home tournament. Zidane was on a level above everyone else but that team allowed him the freedom to express himself in front of a world class defensive unit.

He was told during his recruitment, "You can sign with Santos and win another league title, or you can sign with the Cosmos and win a nation."

    Different era players. Both geniuses. My dad loved watching Pele when he was growing up but also really enjoyed watching Maradona as an adult. For him, both were amazing to watch but both different style of player.
    Who was better? Very subjective. For me Maradona was more highly skilled, better dribbler and more inventive. Pele was a better overall player as I have read that he was the reserve keeper for the team before substitutions were allowed and played in goals a few times, help defence a lot plus was more a team player in terms of doing everything on the pitch.
    This argument will never end. All subjective.

      It is not fair to compare players of different eras. All sports became markedly more professional in the 80s and 90s. The players today who work grueling training sessions perfecting their craft under the watchful eyes of expert coaches and physical therapists and dietitians can physically perform at a level that earlier players could never dream of. But those earlier players were more often products of individual genius and inspiration and happenstance -- that they trained themselves to greatness is no small thing to consider.

    Very well put together. I am from Naples. I have a good friend from Rio. We have this debate all the time and we came to the same conclusion. They are exact opposites but equals. They both overcame great economical struggles to become the best in the world for their time. Pele has always had speed and was always in great shape. He had the rhythm of the samba, the Ginga of capoeira, the dance that we all fell in love with, even with the subsequent Brazilian players like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Neymar. He was fun and exciting to watch along with the team around him. They refreshed a stale sport that was dominated by European countries.
    Maradona had alien talent. Nobody knows where his talent comes from. It is completely natural or unnatural, you pick. He was always a fat little slippery eel that pushed the limits to the edge for everything. He looked at it as if he wasn't riding on the edge, life is just too boring to live. As a kid, he would go play ball instead of doing his chores and take the beatings from his dad. That is the Italian in him. He was born with an unconscious ability to control any ball, any size with his feet, predominantly his left. There is a video of him when he was at Napoli juggling a foosball. Platini said, what Zidane can do with a ball, Maradona can do with an orange. Call it a gift from God, call it nature, call it genes, call it what you want, nobody has come along with that type of talent. Not Messi, not Cristiano Ronaldo. Maybe Ronaldinho, and he played futsal as a kid. He had his problems off the pitch as well, still has those problems today but that doesn't make what he did with the Brazilian side and Barca nothing. There are only a few players that played for Barca and were applauded by Real Madrid fans, Maradona and Ronaldinho are among them.

      The defense was rock solid and only conceded 5 goals in the tournament; two of which came from set pieces in the final match against Germany in the final.
      The Midfielders deserve more credit because of their ability to break opponents play and at the same time initiate attack. The trio of Ricardo Gusti,Sergio Batista and hector Enrique was so solid.

    9:09 I am sorry but this is a huge generalization. To claim brazilians love Garrincha more than Pele because brazilians don't like winners as much is a big reach. Ayrton Senna was one of the most competitive sport professionals ever. I'd argue he is more popular in Brazil than Pelé, and he is way more competitive than Pelé ever was. Senna was the toxic competitive type, he had a big ego and he wanted to win no matter what, on his terms. Some people in Brazil don't like Pelé as much because he is an international superstar, brazilians hate people that pretend they don't know where they come from, people that don't talk a lot about their roots. Regardless, Pelé is incredibly loved here in Brazil, is he worshipped like Maradona is in Argentina? No, but he is up there at the Pantheon.

    "Pelé only played against farmers"
    Meet Franz Beckenbauer, shepard from Munich
    Lev Yashin, mailman
    Jairzinho, 9 year old
    "Pelé played when there was no offside rule"
    This is not true, it was implemented years before his first match
    "If he was so good why did he never move to europe"
    At first, He didnt to because the brazilian league was the strongest in the world back in the early 60s. Declined offers from Real Madrid ans AC Milan. Then the dictatorship that governed brazil declared him a living national treasure so that he wouldnt leave. In the mid 70s, he thought about trying new things before retirement and had offers from FC Barcelona and NY Cosmos. Barcelona had more prestige, but pele already won everythibg he wanted and cosmos offered way more cash, so he went to play in the usa where he became somewhat of a Proto David Beckham moving to LA Gakaxy, but way bigger. It'd be like if CR7 decided to go pkay in the MLS. George Best, Franz Beckenbauer, one of the english bobbys from man united (i dont remember if it was charlton or moore)....many stars went on to play in america following his singning.
    "His goal count is bonkers"
    Yes it is. He exxagerated the numbers. Lied.
    But if you count friendlies (which i do for every player from before the 80s), he scoree over 900. Discounting then, almos 700.
    So yeah, lying about the goal count thing did more damage than good to his image but hes still one of the best free kick tajers of all time, one of the best dribblers of all time.....amazing, complete footbaler. Seriously, instead of just blatanly trying to dismiss him try to watch some videos of him playing. He made eusebio look like an idiot by playing 1-2 with his legs. Scored a hell of a goal in a world cup final at the age of 17. 60 years passed till mbappe broke his record.
    If you think messi is better, totally fine. Messi is spectacular.
    But Pelé was 100% world class too, unquestionably top 3 best players of all time.

      @Harris Zaindi the paulistao isnt the fourrth tier. And its shite today, but it actually was the most important tournament in brazilian football in the 60s only behind another state champioship, the carioca. They are dead stupid ass farmers league champioships TODAY, but in 1966 every single team in the paulistao had at least 1 player in the seleção. Your Anachronic, poorly researched bs amazes me

      The bundesliga started to be organized the way it is today when beckenbauer was already in his mid 20s, much like the brasileirao that only surpassed the Paulistao in terms of importance in 1971. Pele won 2 of those (72 and 74).

    There's just no discussion here folks. Pele is clearly the best ever, let's just state the boring obvious stuff first:
    - Only player to score more than 1,000 goals
    - Only player to lead his country to 3 World Cups titles
    - Youngest player to ever score in a World Cup final
    - Still holds the record of being the top goal scorer of the most successful national team in the world
    - Only player to never have been eliminated of a World Cup while in the field. Won '58, won '62, got hurt mid tournament in '66 and won '70.
    We can also talk about how a bloody Civil War in Nigeria was stopped just to see him play, or how in a friendly he received a red card and then the ref was replaced and Pele came back to the field, or how he was voted the most popular sportsman in NY in a time when Joe Namath (American Football legend) still played for the Jets etc... Pele was just light years ahead of anyone at his time, his dominance at the sport is something that's not seen since. Messi is a genius and clearly the best player I've ever seen play (born in 1994 here), but he's not as far ahead of the rest like Pele was. The fact that Pele handled his image better after football better shouldn't count against him and that argument is honestly baseless.
    Maradona was a genius, my dad says he's the best he's ever seen (born 1971) and he's the greatest player ever of a country stacked with many other amazing talents and that's enough to put him in the pantheon of football legends, but he'll never be Pele and that's ok. Also, Maradona's later career and life is just depressing. He could've carried Argentina to its 3rd championship in 1994 had he not been banned for using illegal substances, he was openly proud of having cheated his way to an Argentine world title in '86, he became a sycophant for left-wing tyrants throughout Latin America and became nothing but an embarrassment for football. Some may say his flaws make him more relatable, sure I can understand that argument but it doesn't make him any better.
    In the end, there's nothing that supports the arguments for Maradona in a contest against Pele: not the stats, not the silverware and definitely not the behavior.
