Rest In Peace.
Nenhum jogador brasileiro, nenhum, cresceu sem pensar em você, sem ouvir suas histórias, seu legado. Cada camisa amarela, representa muito de você, cada clube quando contrata um brasileiro quer um pouco do Pelé. Espero poder passar um pouco da sua magia pra frente. pic.twitter.com/74cP0hUtN7
