The players of the Brazilian national team opened a banner on the field in support of the legendary football player Pelé, who was hospitalized after reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup held in Qatar.
In the 1/8 final of the tournament, the Brazilians defeated the South Korean team with a score of 4: 1. South Americans scored all goals in the first half. Vinicius Junior, Neymar, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta scored.
The Brazilian national team will play the Croatians in the quarter-finals. The match will be played on December 9 and will start at 18:00 Moscow time.
Three-time world champion Pele was hospitalized last Tuesday for swelling and heart failure. On Thursday, the clinic issued a statement stating that the former football player’s condition is stable.
The media reported that Pele was transferred to the palliative care unit as his body no longer responds to chemotherapy in the fight against bowel cancer. However, the footballer’s daughters Keli and Flavia denied these reports, saying that the reason for their father’s hospitalization was the coronavirus.
The former player wrote on a social network that he would watch the match in the hospital before the match with the Koreans.
