Pelé's family wraps up the ex-soccer player at Christmas

SAO PAULO (BRAZIL), 26 Dic. (dpa/EP) -

The family of former soccer player Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pelé, tucked the Brazilian into the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo for Christmas, according to their posts on social networks this weekend.

"Merry Christmas. Gratitude, love, togetherness, family. The essence of Christmas. We thank you all for all the love and light you send," wrote Pelé Kelly's daughter Cristina Nascimento along with a family photo at the medical center where the 82-year-old former player is located.

Pelé's son, Edson "Edinho" Cholbi do Nascimento, also visited Pelé this Christmas season, posting a photo on Instagram of him holding his father's hand. Along with the image, he posted 'Father, my strength is yours'.

From the hospital, last Wednesday they announced that Pelé had been diagnosed with a progression of cancer and that he needed more intensive care due to kidney and heart problems. The world champion in 1958, 1962 and 1970 with Brazil has been hospitalized since November 29 to readjust chemotherapy against a colon tumor.
