Former Dynamo coach Sergei Silkin talked about the idea of the FIFA President Gianni Infantino name a stadium in every country in the world after the legendary Brazilian footballer Pele .
The Brazilian died on December 29 at the age of 82 after battling colon cancer.
– Russia is a big country. You can name a stadium after Pelé in any hole. I completely agree with the idea of Infantino. Pelé was the greatest footballer of all time. But every country has its wonderful people. I don’t think it’s necessary to name Pelé.
Countries that wish can do so. But because you name the stadium after Pelé, it won’t rise from the grave yet. The Brazilian left a huge mark – he is the greatest footballer, especially for his time, – Silkin told the “Championship”.
Pelé is the only three-time football world champion (1958, 1962, 1970). Pelé made 92 appearances for Brazil and scored 77 goals. At club level, the striker has played for Santos and New York Cosmos.
