Pelé's most famous goal that has never been filmed is created by AI; watch Neymar Jr. and his father Neymar da Silva Santos, CEO of NR Sports, spoke about the goal considered Pelé's most beautiful and which was recreated by Google and Pelé Brand. The move, which was never filmed, took place during the confrontation between Santos and Juventus, on Rua Javari, the Mooca club's stadium, in the East Zone of São Paulo. The goal will be on display at the Pelé Museum, in Santos. To score the goal, Pelé applied three consecutive hats to the opposing players and the goalkeeper, without letting the ball touch the ground, a display of talent that became part of the history of world football (see the recreated goal above). "Pelé inspired generations and continues to inspire today. Being able to participate in a project that presents his story to those who never had the opportunity to see him play is very special. Technology helps to immortalize what changed football forever", said Neymar Jr., through a statement released by his advisor. Neymar Jr. appears in video of Pelé's goal recreation with AI Google NR Sports is the company responsible for managing Neymar Jr.'s image and the global administration of the Pelé Brand. In partnership with Google, the company contributed to the reconstruction, through artificial intelligence, of the legendary goal. "We believe that great legacies need to evolve without losing their essence. When we took over the management of Pelé Brand, we made a commitment to preserve its history and find new ways to keep it alive. This partnership with Google shows that technology can be a powerful ally to connect the past to the future, always with respect for the memory of the King", explained Neymar da Silva Santos, CEO of NR Sports. Recreated goal Pelé has one of his most beautiful goals recreated by artificial intelligence Google In June, the president of Google in Brazil, Fábio Coelho, announced the project in partnership with Pelé Brand, managed by NR Sports, the company responsible for managing Neymar Jr's image. This week, the documentary “The Most Beautiful Goal Never Seen” was published on YouTube and revealed the scene generated with artificial intelligence (see above). The play was reconstructed with a combination of research and artificial intelligence, in addition to a recording that was made on the stadium's original pitch. To recreate the scene, the team used historical documents, photographs, records from the time, information about the architecture of the Rua Javari Stadium and reports from people who helped reconstruct the context of that match. The work brought together a multidisciplinary team made up of historians, sports journalists, Pelé's family, experts and eyewitnesses. The film features the participation of Flávia Kurtz, Pelé's daughter, journalist Walter Dias, former Santos F.C. player and one of Pelé's greatest partners, Pepe, known as "Canhão da Vila", among other journalists and researchers. "He would be very, very proud to see all this happening. I'm sure. And he does it for us, right? We continue what he left behind, right? People can see, relive, not only the people who were there on Javari Street, at Juventus, but now we will be able to experience it. I think it's sensational," said Flávia Kurtz, Pelé's daughter. A goal considered the most beautiful among those scored by Pelé is recreated by AI Google. Neymar Jr. and Marta also participated in the documentary, and reinforced the importance of sharing the King of Football's journey. "Scoring a goal by giving a hat to a guy and taking the first shot is already difficult. Imagine doing this against three opponents", said Neymar, in the documentary. In addition to the documentary being available on the internet, through YouTube, the exhibition will be available at the Pelé Museum, in Santos, on the coast of São Paulo. The place has a special collection about the King of Football. "One of our main objectives was to bring Pelé's legacy to a new generation. We are very excited, because people who never knew about this goal will discover what makes Pelé so special," said Marcia Mayer, producer at Google DeepMind, in the documentary.
