The health of Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé, seems to be getting dangerously worse. Messages about a possible resurgence of cancer in his body indicate that Pelé-s health is progressively deteriorating even though his family and the Brazilian star himself continue to fight against the disease.

In view of the delicate medical condition of the star, from Qatar, the world soccer headquarters in the coming days, they sent a message of encouragement and wishes for a speedy recovery from the world soccer family.

One of the most touching was from FIFA itself, which used more than 100 drones over the bay of Doha, which through lasers drew the silhouette of a yellow jersey, the famous “canarinha” with the historic number 10. The video was shared on social networks and quickly went viral.

Pelé, 82, had a tumor in his colon removed last year. He was hospitalized on Tuesday in Sao Paulo to regulate his medication. However, as days went by it has been reported that he is in a delicate condition because his cancer has spread to other organs, causing metastasis.

According to Mexican journalist, José Ramón Fernández, his lungs, intestines and liver are affected and his condition no longer responds to treatment.

The official medical report from the Albert Einstein Hospital, where Pelé remains hospitalized, informed that the star has a respiratory infection, but was evolving favorably.

The soccer world is concerned about Pelé’s health

But the FIFA tribute was not the only one that ‘O Rei’ received. This Friday, the Brazilian Torcida unfurled a huge banner behind some goals at the Lusail stadium, wishing their idol a speedy recovery, during the match they lost to Cameroon, at the end of the group stage.

The banner shows the star Pelé, in his glory days, wearing a Santos jersey, holding a ball, with the phrase: Get well soon”. Other images were also displayed on the side of a building next to the stadium with messages such as: “Get well soon” and “We love you, Pelé”.

Players were influenced by his unique playing style

Other messages were also shared by top current soccer players such as Frenchman Kylian Mbappé, who wrote on Twitter: “Pray for the King @Pelé”, as well as Real Madrid striker Vinicius, who shared a photograph of the flag displayed in the stands in tribute to Pelé on Friday,

Even the Brazilian coach, Tite, also wished him “much health to who was our greatest representative. An earthly extraterrestrial with whom our feelings are with today”.
