The football world 'holds its breath'/ Pele in battle with cancer, it has spread to his lungs and...

Pelé no longer responds to chemotherapy and has been transferred to the palliative care department of the "Albert Einstein" hospital in Sao Paulo, where he has been hospitalized for days. This is what the Brazilian newspaper "Folha de Sao Paulo" reports. The three-time world champion is living with colon cancer that has spread to his lungs and liver, which he was diagnosed with last year. The hospital, which in recent days issued a statement saying Pelé, 82, had "full vital functions", declined to comment on the negligence.

“Friends, I'm at the hospital for my monthly visit. It's always nice to get positive messages like this. I thank Qatar for this thought and all those who send me their positive energies". With this post on Instagram, Pele reassured everyone about his health condition. Ò Rei, 82, had posted a picture of a building lit up by his face and the words "Get well soon" arrived from Qatar, a thought very welcome from the former Brazilian champion, admitted to the Albert Einstein Hospital after the removal of a colon tumor. "We all want to wish good health to Pele, our greatest footballer, an alien among earthlings. Health, there is the solidarity of all of us", declared the coach of Brazil, Tite, in the press conference.
