On Wednesday, his daughter, Kely Nascimento, posted a video of the King singing a song by Santos. The day before, on Tuesday, the former player had posted a video exercising on an exercise bike. In the post, he showed good humor:
–
– Friends, I send this video that my wife made today, to share my joy with you. I am surrounded by affection and encouragement to feel a little better every day. Cycling like that, I’ll be back to Santos soon, don’t you think?

Every day, Pelé and his family are posting images that show recovery. Kely last week posted a photo of his father at the hospital seeing the friendly of the Brazilian women’s team against Argentina.

–
– As you can see, I’m punching the air in celebration of each better day. A good mood is the best medicine and I have plenty of that. It couldn’t be different. I have received so much affection that my heart is full of gratitude. Thanks to the amazing team at Albert Einstein Hospital!
