Intro:
Brazil legend Pelé, 73, dedicated the Seleção's 1958 World Cup triumph -- eight years after their shock defeat to Uruguay at the Maracanã -- to his late father, João Ramos do Nascimento aka Dondinho. Hosts Brazil begin this summer's competition with a Group A match against Croatia on 12 June, before facing Mexico and Cameroon.
Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Pelé, Brazilian football icon:
"My father was crying and a player friend of him was very sad. I said, 'What happened?'. He said, 'Brazil lost the World Cup'. I said I didn't know what to do because there was a big party before [the match]. Then I said, 'Don't worry, I'm going to win one World Cup. Don't cry.'"
