Brazilian President Lula da Silva: Pele has always created a show on the football field
Brazilian President Luiz Lula da Silva reacted to Pele’s death. About this he wrote on your Twitter.
He said that, unlike young Brazilians, he was lucky enough to watch live the show that Pelé put on on the football field. “When he touched the ball, he always did something special, which many times ended in a goal,” the politician recalled.
A fan of FC Corinthians, da Silva, admitted that he was angry with Pele, seeing how he once in the Santos team destroyed his favorite club on the field over and over again. “But above all, I admired him. And anger gave way to passion when I saw him play in the number 10 jersey of the Brazilian national team.”
Pele died at the age of 82 on December 29. Doctors at the Albert Einstein Clinic, where the former football player was located, called the failure of internal organs against the background of progressive cancer the cause of death.
Pelé is a three-time World Cup Champion with Brazil. In 1999, the International Olympic Committee recognized the Brazilian as the athlete of the century.
