Asked by theAFP On Pelé, whom he had the opportunity to face during his career, the former French international Fleury Di Nallo recalled a nice little anecdote that says a lot about the technical abilities that the Brazilian possessed: “Yes. At the time, it was the fashion to make small bridges (to pass the ball between the legs of the opponent, editor’s note). All the players were looking to do it. I did a lot myself. And he made me one. On the run. I remained stuck. Usually I made them! I am short (1.67m). So I had not very high legs but he had found the place! He is the only one who has succeeded! Nobody ever made me a little bridge“Said the former Olympique Lyonnais player.
