Sports narrator Galvão Bueno, 72, from Globo, sent a message to Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé, before the broadcast of the game between Brazil and Cameroon, in the Qatar World Cup, this Friday (2). They are friends and have worked together on broadcasting three World Cups.
“I wanted a little bit of reflection, of positive thinking, whatever your religion, your creed, belief”, he said while showing a flag with a picture of Pelé. “Great Pelé, nobody is like him, nobody will ever be close to Pelé as a player.”
Galvão said that Pelé is a dear friend and that he was fortunate to broadcast games alongside the King of Football in three World Cups. “An absolutely good person. Pelé is going through a difficult time, but he is in the hospital, hospitalized”, explained the sports narrator.
He said that this Friday he received a message from the king of football, who is hospitalized at the Albert Einstein Hospital, in São Paulo, saying that he was reviewing the treatment. Pelé has been hospitalized since he was diagnosed with colon cancer over a year ago.
“I sent [mensagem] back, I’m with you. Not me, the whole of Brazil is with you. We are all. The newsletter is out now [médico] saying that the picture is stable, that’s what we get,” said Galvão.
