I met Pelé in the mid-80s in Brazil. He was a very humble man. Pelé was a friend of Eusébio, he called him his brother, and I met Pelé through Eusébio. They were very good friends. Eusébio was also friends with Yashin, then I met him, he was a very intelligent man.
"And I remember Pelé as a very humble and outgoing person. He liked to talk a lot about football and remembered some specific games, especially when he played against Portugal or Benfica," said Barbosa.
