 Brazilian football legend Pelle has died following a long battle with cancer, is agent Joel Frager and his family confirmed on Thursday. His daughter, Kelly Nassimento, took to Instagram as the news broke to post a tribute to her father, accompanied by a photo of family members holding his end as he rested in a hospital bed. Pelle had been hospitalized since November with multiple ailments, including a respiratory infection. Well, Joel Nassimento live to discuss this is Mouda Shirushito, his plus TV's African support anchor. Thank you so much for joining us tonight Mouda. Thank you very much. All right. What can you say about the life and times of the great football legend and how is the world reacting to his death? He will surely be missed because he was one of the first global icons in the world, not just football, but beyond football. Second, next to him is the late Mohamed Ali, these two athletes brought global recognition to the world of football. Pelle just made us the world that goes beyond just being a talented footballer to one of the most popular athletes across the globe. And his death has brought so many mixed reactions, most especially the fact that the world is celebrating him right now. And he is the only player across the globe to have won three World Cups. And for more than 60 years, the name Pelle has been synonymous with soccer. He played in four World Cups and is the only player in history to win three World Cups. His legacy straight forward beyond his trophy and a remarkable goalscoring record is a perfect gentleman and both on and off the field. He has is a perfect example of what a soccer player is. And if you look at how humble his background is, as a child, his first taste of soccer involved playing with barefoot and with socks and rags and rolled up into a ball, a humble beginning that could go into a longer and a fruitful career. But let us look at it as the fact that in 2015, we all know what he did. He was famous in Brazil, not just in Brazil, beyond like I said, a global football. It was a role model to a lot of people. And let's not forget, in 1958 World Cup, when he made his World Cup debut for Brazil, H17, it's called Brazil, only goal in that quarterfinal victory against Wales and then went on to score a hat-trick in the semifinal against France. And before he did a two goal against Sweden, and he was in 1952 World Cup. So you can see how fantastic he, fantastic football icon is. And let's not forget, the issue of his death started from years ago when he was diagnosed for colon cancer. And he has been able, he has been on and off the field. So I think he's going to be remembered and the celebration of himself, his life, they will not just end today. It's something we continue talking for a very long time. And that's also the exit of the icon. Let's not forget, three years ago, another footballing legend, the grandma and daughter of Brazil died. So it's a continuous one, a continuous life of celebration for the Brazilian soccer legend who died just today at the age of 82. I hope, ladies and gentlemen, so rest in peace. Thank you so much for joining us on the news tonight, Moda Shiro.
