FIFA World Cup 2018: Pele confident about Brazil’s chances!

Pele confident about Brazil’s chances

 

DUBAI: The 77-year-old football legend Pele confident about Brazil’s chances at the upcoming World Cup.

Pele said he was expecting that injured Paris Saint-Germain striker Neymar would be fully fit to lead the side to lead Brazil to a possible sixth football title in Russia.

“We don’t know exactly what is going to happen, but I think for the World Cup he’s going to be in shape because his injury is not so bad,” said Pele, the only person to have won the World Cup three times as a player.

“I wish he has the same luck I had in the World Cup.” PSG’s Neymar, the world’s most expensive player, has not played since breaking a metatarsal bone in his right foot on February 25 in a Ligue 1 match against Marseille.

He said last week he was still recovering following surgery but expects to be fit in time for the World Cup from June 14 to July 15.
