The Brazilian team published on the official website a message from the person who writes the history of the club in which the supremacy of the Argentine is disputed.
He claims that Pele scored more goals for Santos than officially recorded. In addition to the 643 in official matches, Pelé has scored another 448 goals in other matches against high-level rivals in regional, national and international championships, which meet the criteria imposed by FIFA.
“Pelé scored against some great teams in the world”
Santos played in the official team in these matches that until now were not considered official matches because in those days soccer was an amateur sport.
“The 448 goals that are not taken into account were scored against some of the biggest teams of the time. America (Mexico) and Colo Colo (Chile) conceded 9 goals from Pelé each.
Internazionale Milan, one of the best teams in Europe, received 8 goals. And the list can continue with River Plate, Boca Juniors, Real Madrid, Juventus, Lazio, Napoli, Benfica or Anderlecht.
Even Barcelona, the team where Messi plays now, was the victim of Pelé who gave him 4 goals in 4 games ”. wrote the history of the team, Fernando Ribeiro.
He considers that these goals are as important as those that Messi scored in La Liga, because, in Pelé’s time, competitions had a different structure.
For example, the championship in Brazil, Paulista, is played only between July and December. Then came the Rio – Sao Paulo Championship for two months.
The rest of the time, Santos participates in various tournaments for a fee to pay for his stars. There were competitions in all corners of the world where Pelé scored many goals.
In addition, at that time there was no FIFA calendar, so Pelé was absent from Santos
for two months in 1962, 1966, 1969 and 1970, when he played for the national cariocas in the World Championship.
