Qatar 2022: Brazil Dedicate SHOW-OFF Victory Against Korea To Pele

In a power demonstration against Korea, Brazil sent a statement to everyone. With Neymar back, the South Americans swept South Korea away via a 4-1 margin in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar.

Bookies have Brazil as favorites before facing Croatia in the next round.

“King” Pelé, who had made it known that he would follow the match from his hospital bed, must have appreciated the victory as well as the banner that the players displayed at the end of the match, with the writing “Pelé!” and a photo showing him celebrating a goal with the Seleçao.

Currently being treated for colon cancer, the 82-year-old triple world winner (1958, 1962, 1970) was able to see Brazil in a demonstration, firmly backed by an impeccable defense, which allows the attackers to deploy all their talent.

Brazil was too strong and like in a training routine, Richarlison concluded an action that he himself had initiated, got into the area and behind the defenders courtesy Thiago Silva’s ball for 3-0 at the 30th minute.

The striker, after celebrating with a dance on the pitch, ran to the bench where the substitutes pushed their coach Tite to join in their dance. Proof, if it were necessary that the group in search of a sixth star co – habit well.

At the break, the five-time world champions led 4-0, thanks to another goal from Paqueta (36th). But the Koreans saved some honor magnificently by Paik Seung-ho, who struck a powerful long shot on which the Brazilian goalkeeper Alison was helpless.
