Presenter Craque Neto followed in Pelé’s footsteps at Vila Belmiro and contested the absence of coach Tite and four- and five-time champions Brazil.
- Corinthians idol and former Santos player Neto called it “disrespect” from the “penta group” and also mentioned the winners of the tetra.
- At the vigil there was only Mauro Silva, champion in 1994 and leader of the FPF.
- The presenter said that Brazil doesn’t know who Pele is and said that the King is the most important “boy” after Jesus and between Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.
“Are they important? We have to imagine who are the important people in your life, in our life. Maybe people only go where they earn a fee. I respect people, I just think people need to know who Pele was. They are people of the world champions and didn’t they come to see Pele? At the very least, it’s disrespectful. Take it as you like. A person is not right by himself, we have to pray what we have to pray. And to those who didn’t come: it’s useless to talk afterwards,” said Neto UOL Sport.
Santos was not informed of the presence of the world champions in 1994 and 2002. Ronaldo and Romário sent flowers. The vigil ends at 10 this Tuesday.
