Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva spoke about his relationship with the legendary Brazilian player.
The President of Brazil spoke about his conflicted feelings for Pele. According to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, he hates the player in the championship because he scored too many goals for his favorite club. At the same time, he admired the game of the “king of football” in the national team.
“I had a privilege that the young Brazilians don’t have: I saw Pele play live in Pacaemba and Morumbi. When he got the ball, he always did something special, which often ended with a goal.
I must admit that I was angry with Pele because he always beat my Corinthians. But most of all, I admired him. And anger soon gave way to passion for the way he played in the Brazilian national team jersey with the number ten.
Pele left us today. He went to heaven to play with his great partner in Santos Coutinho. Today he is among so many eternal stars: Didi, Garrincha, Nilton Santos, Socrates, Maradona…
Pele left confidence: less than a dozen like him. Thank you Pele” wrote Lula
Recall that Pele died on December 29 at the age of 83. The legendary ex-football player did not overcome cancer.
