Brazilian footballer Neymar with a heartbreaking note on the death of Pele.
Before Pelak, 10 was just a number. I have read this sentence somewhere and once in my life this beautiful sentence is incomplete. I would say that before Pele, football was just a sport. He changed all that. By turning football into art, entertainment, and giving voice to the poor, blacks, and the majority, Brazil gained international attention. Thank the King for soccer and Brazil raising their status! He is gone but his magic remains, Neymar wrote on his social media.
At the same time, following the death of Pele, three days of mourning were announced in Brazil. He was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Savapola and died on Thursday midnight. It is reported that the funeral will take place on Tuesday at 10 local time.
