“Russia is a great country. You can name a stadium in any hole after Pele. I completely agree with Infantino’s idea. Pele was the greatest football player. But every country has its own great people. I don’t think it’s necessary to name Pelé after all.
Countries that wish can do so. But due to the fact that you name the stadium after Pelé, he will not rise from the grave. The Brazilian left a huge mark – he is the greatest footballer, especially for his time,” Silkin told the “Championship”.
