The 52-year-old 1994 and 2002 world champion Cafu said goodbye to the 82-year-old Brazilian Pele, who passed away on Thursday, December 29.
“Today I lost my brother. As a Catholic Christian, I know that “by dying, a person is born for eternal life.” We will have all eternity to be together in the Father’s house. He simply left the world of things that have an end and went to the world of things that have no end. Farewell, Pele.
Pele will never die… Pele is eternal. He is the king, he is unique… He will be immortalized in every great goal, in every masterful shot, in each of us, inspired by him and his entire generation. Calm down brother, here we go without your genius but with your legacy,” Kafu tweeted.
