Pelé, the last message to Maradona

Pele’s words

On the day of Pele’s death, the message with which O Rei said goodbye to Diego Armando Maradona has returned to the Web.

“Today is seven days since you left. Many have tried to compare our lives. You were a genius who enchanted the world. A magician with the ball between his feet. A true legend. But more than that, for me, you will always be a great friend with an even greater heart. Today, I’m sure the world would definitely be a better place if we stopped making comparisons and started admiring each other more. For this reason, I want to say that you are incomparable. Your trajectory has been marked by honesty. And in your unique and particular style, you taught us to love and to say ‘I love you’ more often. Your quick departure did not allow me to tell you, so I will write: I love you Diego. My great friend, thank you for this journey. One day in heaven we will play on the same team. And it will be the first time on the field I will raise my fist to the sky without celebrating a goal. I will do it because I will finally have you back in my arms.”
