Still hospitalized for treatment of cancer, Pelé used Twitter to say that he will watch today’s game of the Brazilian national football team against South Korea, in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar. On the social network, he posted a photo of his first World Cup, in 1958, walking through the streets of Sweden, alongside fellow player Zito (José Ely de Miranda). Three-time world soccer champion, Pelé made a parallel with the current national team players. “In 1958, I walked the streets thinking about fulfilling the promise I made to my father. I know that today many have made similar promises and are also going in search of their first World Cup. I will watch the game from the hospital and I will be rooting for each one of you. Good luck!”, said the king of football, considered by many to be the best player in history. In 1958, I walked the streets thinking about fulfilling the promise I made to my father.
