I refer to that brilliant improvization at the 18 yard line during one of the 1970's World Cups, where he crossed paths with the ball that had been passed diagonally toward him just in front of the goalie and circled back behind the paralyzed goalie to shoot. What impresses the viewer to this day, and will probably always do so, is the creativity, the spontaneity of the idea Pele had to hop over the ball meant for him, to forgo touching it for a while, to run away from it. I have never seen another instance matching this, in soccer at least, where a player so clearly outthought another. And for the lover of soccer, that makes this particular play quintessential, because the lover of soccer loves about it that as much as it is a game demanding physical ability and conditioning, it is a game of rapid thought. Playing soccer is like playing chess, except that the player is a piece on the board required to be aware of the movement of all the other players and constrained to try to affect the strategic progress of the game - without using his hands.
Soccer is about the creation and use of empty space.
