Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé, 82, was admitted to the Albert Einstein Hospital this Wednesday (30), in São Paulo.

The King of Football has gone through frequent hospitalizations since the discovery of colon cancer. The tumor was removed on August 31 of last year. The hospital has yet to release any bulletins related to Pelé’s health status.

Kely Nascimento, daughter of the King, confirmed the hospitalization, but minimized the seriousness in her profile on a social network. “The media is freaking out again and I want to come here and bury it a little bit. My dad is in the hospital, regulating medication. I’m not jumping on a flight to run there. My brothers are in Brazil, visiting, and I’m going on New Year’s Eve”, posted. “There is no surprise, no emergency”, concluded Kely, who thanked the fans for their affection.

Pelé has been posting on his social networks during the World Cup. On Monday (28), at halftime between Brazil and Switzerland, with the score still 0-0, he posted on Twitter: “How are you doing after this first half? As my friend Galvão Bueno would say: Haja corazón. I believe in victory, and you?

On October 23, when he turned 82, the King posted a video of thanks for the various messages: “On my birthday, I just want to express my gratitude. Life is very good. Completing 82 years with you, healthy , is the best gift. Thank you for everything I have received”. He also toyed with longevity. 🇧🇷[…] I hope we stay together for a long time. And, God willing, and our dear friends, for another 82 is fine.”

The former player has gone through frequent hospitalizations since he removed the tumor in the colon, to continue the chemotherapy treatment. He spent practically the entire month of September at Albert Einstein after being hospitalized on August 31 and was sometimes taken to the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). In the last one, due to respiratory instability, according to the medical bulletin.

A few months later, in December, he stayed for about 15 days for more chemotherapy sessions. On December 23, when she was discharged, she posted it on social media. “As I promised you, I’m going to spend Christmas with my family. I’m coming home.”

On February 13, when he returned for more sessions, he joked. “Hopefully there’s popcorn to watch the Super Bowl soon. I’ll be watching even though my friend Tom Brady isn’t playing. Thanks for all the messages of love.” At the time, the King had to extend his stay in hospital after doctors identified a urinary tract infection. Pelé was discharged on February 28.
