Alexis Sánchez joins Pelé’s farewell with image and emoji meanings

Alexis Sánchez is a man of few words. Or sometimes literally not at all . However, it is enough for him to deliver a few signals to alert his feelings. He did this through phrases, songs and images. And, also emojis that reflect a certain state of mind .

A mix of some of them was the one the Wonder Boy chose to show his regret for Pele’s departure. On his Instagram profile, the tocopillano fired the Brazilian star. For these purposes, he chose a photo in which O Rei appears with his great love: the soccer ball. Additionally, a miniature of the World Cup is observed . It was enough for him to give a significant character to the recognition he showed.

Sánchez, meanwhile, adds three icons: a ball, a white heart and two hands as a sign of prayer. It also adds the years between which the former Santos player lived. What to interpret that his intention was to show pain, to pray for the memory of Pelé and, finally, to understand his sadness at the death of an exceptional player, whom he did not see play live , but from which he must have received countless references throughout his life.

Pelé had already been honored by Marseille. In the rout of the team defended by the Chilean against Toulouse, a minute of applause was given in tribute to the former Santos player. The Chilean striker participated with emotion, as did all the players and the public who will witness, a few minutes later, the rout of Igor Tudor’s team.
