Pele: 'I promised my father to win the World Cup when I was nine years old, I got a gift from God at the age of 17'

 The 'King of Football' Pele has died at the age of 82. He was suffering from kidney and prostate cancer for the last few years.Pele underwent surgery to remove the tumor from his colon in September 2021 at the Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo when routine tests detected the tumor. He was re-admitted to the hospital at the end of last month.


From the hospital, his daughter Kelly Nascimento regularly posted on social media about her father's health. On Thursday, he shared a picture from the hospital where his family members can be seen holding Pele's body. On this picture, he wrote that 'whatever we are is because of you. We love you so much. "Rest in Peace".Pele scored 1,281 goals in 1,363 matches in his 21-year career, including 77 goals in 92 matches for Brazil. He was part of the Brazilian team that won the World Cup three times in 1958, 1962 and 1970, which is also a world record.
