As the soccer world turns its attention from the World Cup in Qatar back to the day-to-day club grind, a luminary looms large in the thoughts of fans everywhere.
The health of legendary Brazil and Santos forward Pelé—widely considered the greatest soccer player of the 20th century—has reportedly deteriorated, and he remains under close supervision by doctors in São Paulo, the state where he grew up.
Kely Nascimento, one of Pelé’s daughters, shared an emotional photo of her hugging her father at Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital in São Paulo on Instagram Friday night.
