Brazil is already saying goodbye to Pele. They even prepared a golden coffin
No one seems to believe that the football legend will win the fight against death.
Unfortunately, in recent days, good news about the health of the greatest player of all time, Pelé, has not come. The legendary footballer loses the fight to cancer.
But the King of Football courageously holds on, despite the negative forecasts of doctors. True, one gets the feeling that in Brazil no one believes in a successful outcome.
They even prepared a golden sarcophagus for Pele.
The best player on the planet
It is difficult to overestimate Pele’s contribution to football. The Santos striker is considered by many fans to be the best football player of all time. During his career, he was marked by an unimaginable number of goals, and the beauty of some of them is still admired.
The unique achievement of the Brazilian legend cannot be conquered even after half a century. Pele is the only person on the planet who has won three World Cups as a player. Less significant titles from the Brazilian can not be counted. So, the FIFA committee recognized him as the best football player of the 20th century.
But the years take their toll. Recently, Pele has been struggling with health problems that are gradually gaining the upper hand. The 82-year-old football player has long resisted cancer. But during the World Cup in Qatar, sad news appeared. It was reported that the body of the legend completely stopped responding to treatment.
“We are still here, in struggle and with faith”
Doctors gave a negative prognosis after the next hospitalization of Pele in a serious condition. But the player’s body showed miracles of stamina. He even got better for a while, as Kelly’s daughter Christina Nascimenta confirmed on social media.
“We are still here, in struggle and with faith. One more night together,” the woman signed the joint photo.
Everyone understands perfectly well that this is only a temporary improvement and cannot continue like this for a long time. But what happened next is simply amazing. A video quickly gained popularity on social networks, which shows a golden coffin with bas-reliefs of a football player. According to local media reports, the Santos club plans to hold a farewell ceremony for Pele in it.
Moreover, the footballer had not yet died, and an unusual coffin had already been installed at the stadium of the team to which the player gave the best years of his career. According to the organizers of the event, anyone can say goodbye to the football legend. Expect an imminent death in the Pele family. According to British sports manager Frank Khalid, relatives and friends have already said goodbye to the player.
Pele said goodbye to family and friends. The football legend is slowly losing the battle with cancer, the family said that “his condition has worsened again,” the manager wrote on social networks.
It seems that no one believes that a miracle will happen and Pele will recover. But this man proved throughout his life that miracles are possible.
