Even in his best day, CR7 never win world cup
Even Lionel Messi never win world cup too
While Pele already win it first time when he is not yet 18 years old
You can say he is lucky, but first he came on as sub in semifinal WC 1958 and scored hattrick
And in final he play as the youngest players in WC final and scored 2 goals for Brazil win 5-2 against the host
As an 18 year old, playing in the WC it's a Win-Win situation. If you play bad, you were too young, but hey, you were the youngest player to play a WC final/KO stages, so big props. If you play good, everyone acts like you're Jesus Christ in flesh playing football, a god-given talent that blesses us with such a rare sight.
Besides as a 18 year old you have absolutely NO EXPECTATIONS, NO PRESSURE. You can play with no worries, specially if you have a stacked team... France 2018, Pele's Brazil...
As much as people like to sh*t on Messi for being a mental midget, he's probably the one with the most pressure ever, to deliver on the NT. I don't think any other players besides Maradona, Zidane or CR7 would be able to deal with such expectations.
I give more credit to Maradona's and Zidane's single WC wins than all of Pele's wins, you know why? Because when they didn't play, their NT STONKS dropped harder than the twin towers. When Zidane wasn't playing for France they played like Cyprus NT (look at WC 2002), the same for Maradona.
But what about Pelé? Ohhh, now I remember, they won a WC with him on the bench... To deny Pelé's stacked team is to deny my lord Jesus Christ, may you see the light.
God Bless
