Pele delved into the archives.
Há 65 anos eu entrei em campo vestindo a camisa da Seleção Brasileira pela primeira vez. Eu era apenas um garoto de 16 anos com um sonho. Entrei no segundo tempo e tive a felicidade de fazer meu primeiro gol pelo Brasil já naquela partida. Uma emoção que jamais esquecerei. pic.twitter.com/H0PswFkuSo
