Former footballer Edson Arantes do Nascimento, world famous by Pele, considered by many to be the best in history, confessed on Thursday that he thinks the Brazilian team will win the 2022 World Cup, which starts in Qatar in 10 days.
“You might think I’m too confident, but I have a feeling we’re going to see Brazil win again”said the three-time world champion (1958, 1962 and 1970), in a post shared on social networks.
It’s only ten days until the World Cup and I can’t wait to see our national team take to the field. They may even think I’m too confident, but I have a feeling we’ll see Brazil victorious again. pic.twitter.com/Ex2qhQVveJ

The 82-year-old former Santos and Cosmos player was eager to see the canarinha’s debut on the 24th against Serbia, in Group G, which also includes Switzerland and Cameroon.
Pelé accompanied his words with a black-and-white photograph, in which he appears as a young man lifting the Jules Rimet trophy in a convertible driving through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
The three-time world champion is continuing his recovery after undergoing surgery last year for a tumor in his gut and chemotherapy that required him to be hospitalized several times.
Pele’s health has also been affected by other causes in recent years, which has led him to drastically reduce his public appearances, although he remains very active on social media.
