Fotbollsvärlden i stor sorg
Brazilian football legend Pele, arguably the greatest player ever, has died at the age of 82.
PS Även mina ögon tårfylldes när den tråkiga nyheten nådde mig.
RIP Pele !
At the age of 82, Edson Arantes do Nascimento has died. A man just like any other, with qualities and flaws. In this case, more qualities than flaws, although these have prevented him from being an even more influential citizen than he was. Interestingly, Edson talked of himself in the third person.
And it is said that Pelé, the best football player of all time, died today too, at the age of 82. An undisputed title, at least for those sensible ones who saw football long before and long after the athlete began to wrap up, between 1956 and 1977 , his splendid career of 1,281 goals, five world titles— two for Santos FC and three for the Brazilian national team. Interestingly, Pelé talked of himself in the third person.
But the world —starting with the French press—, all his life called him the King: the King Pelé. It is true that one day the English newspaper "The Sunday Times" went even further by asking, and answering: "How do you spell Pelé? With the letters G-O-D".
