Ayant grandi dans les favelas, le jeune Edson, dit Pelé, est formé au football de rue, imprégné du ginga qui est l'essence du football brésilien mais qui est aussi accusé de la défaite cuisante de 1950 et de la déchéance sportive qui s'ensuit. Remarqué, le jeune garçon rejoint le club de Santos mais se heurte à la nouvelle religion du football inspiré des équipes européennes. Son talent et ses capacités hors normes le mènent ensuite jusqu’à la Coupe du monde de 1958, où, à seulement 17 ans, il impose une créativité footbalistique retrouvée.
