Brazilian player Neymar updated his personal social media to express his condolences to Pele, who has just passed away.
Neymar wrote:
Before Bailey, 10 was just a number.
I read this sentence at some point in my life, somewhere.
It’s a great sentence, but it’s not complete.
I would say that before Pele, football was just a sport.
And Bailey changed everything.
He turned football into art and entertainment.
Speak for the poor, the blacks, and the people at large
Make Brazil world-famous.
Football and Brazil are where they are today because of the king’s life.
He’s gone, but his spirit lives on forever.
Forever Bailey!
