From the stands and at the beginning of the game, the Brazilian fans and their players presented an image of wishes for the recovery of Pelé, who is facing a difficult moment of health and has been admitted since last weekend at the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo.
Who from the hospital tweeted a message of support for his team and sharing a memory of his life as a footballer.
“In 1958 I was walking the streets thinking about fulfilling the promise I made to my father. I know that today many have made similar promises and are also looking for their first World Cup. I will watch the game from the hospital and I will be supporting each one of you. Good luck!” King Pele shared.
