The funeral of ‘Football Magician’ Pele is over. He was buried on Tuesday.
Before his death, Pele had wished that he be taken to Villa Belmiro in Santos. As per his wish, the last rites were done at that stadium.
Many were supposedly present. There were former and current footballers, politicians, not to mention the fans.
But Neymar Jr., Ronaldo Nazario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and none of the famed players came to Pele’s final journey.
Only Clovaldo and Mauro Silva were present. And this is being whispered about.
Neymar’s absence is also being criticized. However, Neymar gave an explanation. At least he sent his father on Pele’s last journey.
The Spanish media claimed that Neymar could not join Pele’s final journey due to the disappointment of the World Cup and the pressure of playing for PSG.
But what could be the ‘excuse’ of Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and others not going!
Argentine superstar Diego Maradona left the world two years ago.
His last journey was attended by many stars of the country.
Compared to that, the former big stars of Brazil paid their dues with a condolence message on social media.
