Recently, pele, the king of the ball, shared a recent photo and reappeared after a long time. It can be seen that the 81-year-old Bailey is old and has been unable to move freely and has to sit in a wheelchair. Although Bailey forced a smile, his old age and haggardness were too obvious, and he was seriously ill at first glance. Fortunately, Pele's 49-year-old Japanese wife accompanied him, providing intimate care like a nurse, and the life of the ball king in his later years was somewhat guaranteed. It is worth mentioning that Bailey's Japanese wife is 32 years younger than Bailey, although she is nearly 50 years old, but she is still full of red light!
In fact, in the past few years, Although Bailey's health was not particularly good, he could still participate in activities everywhere, and from time to time he would show his crow mouth to everyone. In the past two years, Bailey's body has deteriorated, and now it is full of disease, his kidneys, joints and other body parts have serious lesions, and the stomach has been removed by 90%. 81-year-old Bailey, who has been suffering from illness for a long time, is more optimistic and has repeatedly said that he is enjoying time with his family.
Pele is the only officially recognized king in the history of world football, alongside Maradona voted by fans. After that, no player deserves to be called the king of the ball, even Beckenbauer, who once dominated the football world in the 70s, but only got the title of "emperor of football". At present, the unique double pride of football, Messi and C Ronaldo, although they far surpass Pele and Maradona in terms of personal honors, the achievements of the national team have never been comparable to those of the two predecessors. Even if one of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can lead the team to win the World Cup, they still can't assume the title of ball king, and at most they will go further in the historical ranking.
Born in 1940, Pele began his career at the age of 16 and played largely for Brazilian side Santos. Pele won all domestic competitions in Brazil, won the Copa Libertadores twice, and announced his retirement in 1974. More than a year later, Pele suddenly made a comeback and joined the New York Universe at the same time as Beckenbauer, saying goodbye to his football career completely after winning a championship in the Major League. Pele lived in an era where South American stars rarely traveled to Europe and were not as accomplished as European superstars of the same period, but their greatness could not be denied.
Pele's most notable performance is his amazing achievements in the national team, four world cups and three victories, if it were not for the injury in the 1966 World Cup, Brazil would most likely have completed the unprecedented three consecutive World Cup titles. Pele's outstanding performance helped Brazil to keep the Remit Cup forever, without him, there would be no Hercules Cup we see today. In addition, Pele was once the player who scored the most goals in football, and was just surpassed by Cristiano Ronaldo last year.
