Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences on the death of striker Pele, who died on December 29 at the age of 82, and sent a telegram to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. It has been reported DEA News.
“Dear Mr. President, please accept our deepest condolences on the death of the great Brazilian football player Pele. Edson Arantes do Nassimento was a distinguished son of the Brazilian people. “Thanks to his talent, unique skill, beautiful, fascinating game, football has become the favorite sport of millions of people around the world, including in Russia.”
Pele was hospitalized at the end of November with edema and heart failure. The media reported that the former Brazilian striker was transferred to the palliative care unit in the fight against bowel cancer, as his body no longer responds to chemotherapy. However, the footballer’s daughters Keli and Flavia denied these reports, saying that the reason for their father’s hospitalization was the coronavirus.
Pele is the only player in the history of football to be a three-time world champion.
