“may he rest in peace.”
There was applause minutes before Western United’s home game against Brisbane Roar on Friday.
Brazilian tennis player Thiago Monteiro, who is in Australia for the United Cup mixed team tournament, said it was a sad day for Brazil.
Monteiro told reporters, “Pele was our biggest idol in sport. He also did a lot for the country, to show Brazil to the world and we had a lot of respect for him.”
“I think he was the first athlete in Brazil who could have that context, that we could have some passion about what we’re doing, what we have to do to achieve our dreams, and of course Literally it was an example for us.”
