If I could interview anyone in the world, it would be Pele. Arguably the best soccer player to ever live, Pele is a god in the soccer world. It is hard to comprehend just what he did on the field. Although I was not alive for his playing era, old footage and other sources can nearly prove that he was indeed the best to have ever played the game. Pele is Brazilian-- that should sum it up I suppose. No other culture seems quite as beautiful when the soccer ball is at their feet (case in point: Pele). All you have to do is watch a video of this guy, and it then becomes evident just how majestic he was on the ball. Pele is one of my idols, and although it would be tempting to interview one of today's greats-- like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo-- Pele is one of the first examples of someone who could take over a soccer match singlehandedly. He could strike fear into opponents like none other. My dad got the chance to watch Pele play in person during the latter part of the star's career. At this time, Pele played for the New York Cosmos. My dad recalled that people filled the stadium that day just to see Pele play. He was a pure legend; there's no way to deny it. He has been a key figure on a global scale in soccer for years now. He is continues to be an ambassador to the game, even today at age 70.
Here is a list of the questions I would want to ask Pele:
1. Growing up, did you ever dream that you would be a dominant professional soccer player?
2. What was your favorite moment in your professional career?
3. What was your primary motivation as far as making it to the highest level of pro soccer?
4. Do you miss playing professional soccer now?
5. Do you think that professional soccer has changed since your day?
