Pelé shows gratitude for support after hospitalization
One day after being admitted to the Israelita Albert Einstein hospital for a reassessment of the chemotherapy treatment for a colon tumor, Pelé expressed his gratitude on his social media Thursday evening (Dec. 2) for the support messages he had received.
“Friends, I am at the hospital making my monthly visit. It's always nice to receive positive messages like this. Thanks to Qatar for this tribute, and to everyone who sends me good vibes,” said the King of Football in reference to a get-well message that was projected on a building in Qatar, the country hosting the current edition of the World Cup.
Also on Thursday, the coach of the Brazilian national team, Tite, expressed his wish that Pelé, 82, recovers soon: “We all wish Pelé the best of health. To our greatest representative, who is out of this world, and yet is also of this world.”
According to the medical report released last Thursday (30), Pelé underwent tests that found he is in full control of vital functions and in stable clinical condition. Thus, the star was taken to a common room where he remains under observation.
