What was Pelé's philosophy on teamwork?

Answered in Pelé's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My philosophy, forged on the pitch, is that no single player, no matter how skilled, can achieve greatness alone. Football is a symphony, and each player is an instrument. My autobiography, 'Pelé: The Autobiography,' speaks to this deeply. True success, like winning the World Cup, comes from a collective effort, a shared vision. Each player must understand their role, trust their teammates, and strive for excellence together. It's about the spirit of brotherhood, where individual brilliance elevates the group, and the group, in turn, supports the individual. We must always strive for excellence, with joy, as a united force.
