There was a time when all soccer games produced by Konami They were the best on the market: no video game even came close to their heels, and EA Sports’ Fifa seemed to be lagging behind living in the shadow of Winning Eleven or Pro Evolution Soccer, the two ‘temples’ for virtual soccer fans. from that time.
Remembering these games brings to mind the iconic intro of Winning Eleven 6, which had the background music ‘We will rock you’ by Queen.
Graphics were seen there for the first time realistic cinematic (realistic for the time).
Some brands like Adidas They had already been dabbling in granting licenses and some games already had their teams in official clothing.
However, there were squads that did not have the permits and, therefore, had to change their names. Two of the most iconic cases were Barcelona, modified as Catalunya, and Real Madrid, under the name of Chamartin.
In these mythical teams you could find stars like Kluivert, Roberto Carlos, Zidane, Bechkam and Raúl. Without their real names, it was true, but they were two of the best clubs for players.

In those games some ‘cracks’ appeared out of nowhere and with the quality of someone who has seen everything: names like Castolo, Minanda, Ximelez and Dodo were footballers who marked the childhood of those who sat for whole afternoons playing the Playstation 2, since they were part of the mythical ‘PES United’ with which the Master League began to be played, yes and alone yes, I didn’t decide to compete with real players.
Although they no longer exist, these ‘random’, will always be remembered as the most beloved and iconic players in the history of soccer video games.
They became legends of the sport and they weren’t even for real.
We show you the starting eleven of the Pes United starting the race for the title in the Master League, a tournament in which players could be bought and sold infinitely.
It was only lost if the budget ran out.
Some representative players
Some players like Ximelez they marked a before and after in the extreme ruffles. Although he was not that fast with the ball, he knew when to make the change of front and contribute to the team. His seniority was what most characterized the Spaniard who, in some versions of the game, could actively participate in the games until he was 40 years old.
And if it was about midfielders of creation, Minanda he was ready to put leaked balls to the forwards. Although he could be as long as 47 years old (an unreal age for a professional footballer), the Portuguese still had a formidable physique. Not surprisingly, he almost always wore the captain’s tape.
Finally I was Castolo, for some better than Messi, Maradona, Cristiano and the ‘Phenomenon’ Ronaldo Nazario. This strange Brazilian striker, 1.73 meters tall, had an unrivaled sense of goal, was fast and knew how to dribble.
The player with the braids was perhaps one of the best in the history of virtual football. Anyone who played old football video games probably has a certainty: Castolo deserved at least one Golden Ball.
These players were entered as default footballers from the game date from Winning Eleven 5 o Pes 1, in 2001, although at that time Castolo had the name Castoro and it would not be until Pes 4 that it would have its official name.
(Also: Fortnite leaves China after video game restrictions).
The players were retired in 2012, because Konami decided to remove some footballers from the Master league.
The ‘retirement’ of Castolo and company gave some sadness to video game fans, however, in 2015 they returned ‘in the form of technical staff‘: they were scouts for footballers and coaches.
The franchise wanted to give it a somewhat realistic temporality, because if we refer to Castolo’s age, the ‘nine’ of the people, he would be 36 years old. According to data from the same game, the Brazilian was born in 1976, a normalized age in the world of sports to ‘hang up the gloves’ without moving completely away from the world of football.
