Pellet, probably Brazil’s best player ever, was hospitalised to the hospital as the country continues to celebrate the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Despite being bedridden due to chemotherapy for colon cancer, the great soccer player rooted for his nation at the World Cup. Pele came on Twitter ahead of Brazil’s round of 16 match against South Korea, claiming he would be rooting for them from his hospital bed.
“I was going down the street in 1958, thinking about keeping my pledge to my father.” Many others nowadays have made similar commitments and are hoping to see their first World Cup.
I’ll be watching the game from the hospital and will be rooting for you all. “Good luck!” read a rough translation of Pele’s Twitter tweet.
Twitter Post- Em 1958, eu caminhava pelas ruas pensando em cumprir a promessa que fiz ao meu pai. Sei que hoje muitos fizeram promessas parecidas e também vão em busca da sua primeira Copa do Mundo.
Assistirei ao jogo do hospital e estarei torcendo muito por cada um de vocês. Boa sorte!
