Donald Trump chooses Pelé as the best player
The President of the United States nostalgically remembered the legacy of the Brazilian soccer player, and assured that he has been one of the best players in history.
“I will say that I am from the old guard, it’s like saying Babe Ruth, but I will say that Pelé was great," Trump said.
This response caused controversy among fans, who expected figures like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to be mentioned. The impact that Pelé had on American soccer with the New York Cosmos team gives insight into the president’s response, as it was a brilliant time for his country.
