Time flies. Fast forward to 1958.
The World Cup is the first time to come to Sweden and the first time to the Nordic countries. This World Cup does not seem to be different from the past, but the arrival of a teenager will make a major change in the pattern of world football.

Pele, 15, scored 36 goals in his first season at Santos, his first year as a professional. Fiora, then head coach of Brazil, was about to change the dynasty of Brazil when pele, 17, came into his sights. Unfortunately Pele was injured on the eve of the World Cup and will not recover until at least two games in the World Cup group stage. Does the World Cup need a place for a 17-year-old injured player? Head coach Fiora chose to believe him. Fiora did not know at the time what impact his decision would have on world football. He also didn't know it was this decision that saved the gorgeous Brazilian football. In this way, Bailey got the ticket to the World Cup at the last moment, and the wonderful journey of the World Cup began.
Although Pele had already shined in Santos, communications were limited and his Brazilian teammates didn't know him.
