World Cup: Pele sends message to Neymar, other Brazil stars

Football icon, Pele, has sent a message to Brazil players, including Neymar to bring home the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Pele made this known in a post via his Instagram account on Thursday before Brazil’s World Cup win over Serbia.

Recall that Brazil defeated Serbia 2-0 in their World Cup opener, thanks to Richarlison’s brace.

The 82-year-old posted a series of photos of his past World Cup glories, telling Neymar and his Brazil teammates: “Today we start writing a new story.”

“We must respect and play each match with the focus of a final. It is important to play beautifully, yes, but it is also essential to leave everything on the pitch.

“I send these pictures to inspire you guys… I am sending all positive energies to you. I’m sure we’ll have a happy ending. God bless you. Bring this trophy home.”
