– The great, best footballer left this world, – says Dmitry Selyuk. – Almost a year before that, another genius had passed away – Maradona. But fate decreed that Pelé managed to see the prince come to his throne, he is the new king-Lionel Messi. Everyone knows that Pelé felt very bad, but fate, providence made him manage to catch Messi’s victory in the World Cup.
Maybe Pele didn’t watch all the games, but he was probably told what was going on in Qatar. And it is very important for history that Messi became the world champion at this time, when Pelé was still alive. It can be said that he handed the throne over to trustworthy hands. The Lord ordered and let see how the new King, Lionel Messi, ascended to the throne. There is something sacred in this. Pele left with a calm heart, knowing that a new king would sit on his throne.
