Ronald Reagan was the first to reach out to Pele and say he didn't need to introduce himself.
On December 29, it became known that after a long struggle with the disease, another legendary Brazilian footballer Pelé passed away. He was 82 years old. He has been battling the disease since 2021 and has been hospitalized with numerous complications in recent months. They've taken an era. After all, this man is not just a football player, but a real legend. No wonder he holds the title of king of football. We remember what Pele's life was like and his major achievements.
GettyImages Edition "Site" Expresses deepest condolences to all fans of the footballer and remembers what he was like.
Even those who have never been interested in football have probably heard of Pele. He was a truly legendary player and was able to reach unprecedented heights. The last few years Pele was struggling with a terrible disease - colon cancer. He went through surgery and chemotherapy, but nothing helped.
He stopped his chemistry course this year. His body simply stopped reacting to it. A few weeks ago, it was reported that Pele was receiving palliative care. And despite this, the football player recorded several video messages in which he thanked fans. He even congratulated Argentina on winning the World Cup.
However, a few days ago, foreign media reported that Pele's health had deteriorated. He said goodbye to his family and friends. And on December 29, he died. Fans around the world are in mourning.

He became the champion of Brazil 6 times and won the state championship of São Paulo 10 times. In addition, Pele has won the Copa Libertadores twice and the Intercontinental Cup twice.
GettyImages The main achievements of Pele are associated with the Brazilian national team. He scored 77 goals in 92 matches. This is still considered a record. Pele is a three-time world football champion. He became the best player of the World Cup in 1970. Subsequently, the footballer was dubbed the “king”.
In 1997, Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain knighted him. When he visited Washington to help popularize the game in North America, the U.S. president was the first to reach out to him saying, “My name is Ronald Reagan, I’m the president of the United States of America, but you don’t have to introduce yourself because everyone knows who Pele is.”
GettyImages What kind of person was Pele? It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally. He was a king, and that says a lot. Pele is not like other footballers. He was not a brawler like Maradona or a scuffler like Zidane. He was Pele. Pele's life was peaceful. There has never been a scandal around him. Pele certainly did not like excessive attention to his person. That's how we remember the king. Blessings to the legend!
