The seriously ill Pele spoke after the elimination of Brazil and has a message for Neymar

Former Brazilian footballer Edson Arantes do Nascimento Pele, who was named the best footballer of the 20th century by FIFA, congratulated Neymar for matching him in the number of goals scored for the Cariocas, while making a request.

“Continue to inspire us all, and after each of your goals I will raise my hands in the air like I did before,” wrote Pele on his Instagram account.
The legendary Brazilian has been hospitalized in Sao Paulo since November 29 due to poor health.

In the quarter-finals against Croatia, Neymar scored a goal for Brazil in the 106th minute of extra time, and it was the 77th goal for the PSG player in Brazil’s shirt, thus leveling exactly with Pele.
