Goodbye to the King of Soccer, Edson Arantes do Nascimento aka Pele.

The king of football Pele is no longer in the world.

He died at the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil on December 29, 2022 at the age of 82.

A football player born in a poor family in Brazil has gone before justice, the King of football Pele, no one doubted his skills in cutting the ball.

Pele, will remain in the memory of the soccer world as a symbol and an important pillar of the game's success.

Well!

The king of soccer Pele - a candle in the wind, suddenly extinguished, we will always honor you not only in the game of football but even in politics, Pele spread the message of peace, unity, love, justice, equality for all people.

During his life he was not a person of violence, hatred or discrimination, he was always a person of the people.

Simanzi, big for his family, the world of football, Brazil is indeed gone.

Pele, as I explained earlier, was born in a poor family, his talent began to appear from his childhood.

Football teacher, De Brinto of the Santos team will remain in the diary of many footballers for bringing out Pele's talent by taking him out of Bauru Athletic's youth team and sending him to the big team for Santos FC trials

Because of his ability and prowess in cutting the ball, Pele passed the tests and was taken into the Santos team.

At the age of 16, Pele in a very short period of time began to show ability and skill in playing soccer where at the age of 17 he was selected in the Brazilian National team.

While in the national team, Pele showed great ability and for the first time played in the World Cup finals in 1958, where he played with great skill helping his national team win the championship by beating the hosts of the tournament, the Brazilian national team.

In the finals held in Sweden in 1958, Pele scored the best goals in the semi-final stage and the final, which was his first final, while football fans began to see his potential in football as a very young man.

Pele has played in the World Cup finals in 1958, 1962 and 1970 where in those finals, Pele has scored 12 goals in 14 World Cup games.

The soccer king has played a total of 694 matches for his club while scoring 650 goals, while in the Brazilian national team, the soccer king has played 92 matches and scored a total of 77 goals for the national team.

Pele was born on October 23, 1940, his father Joao Ramos do Nascimento was also a football player, although he was not as famous as his son Pele.

Since his family was poor, Pele could not buy a toy ball, he had to take a sock and weave it into a ball and then start playing.

Pele's life was difficult, despite being young, he engaged in activities to earn his own income, but since his talent is soccer, Pele supported himself in that game.

Pele did not chance playing soccer, he knows exactly how to play the game.

Pele retired from football in 1977, where his last team to play was New York Cosmos.

Goodbye King of Soccer, Pele Mwamba has fallen!
