The news made fans nervous.

On the evening of December 8 (Vietnam time), "Soccer King" Pele was hospitalized again because of the inflammatory bowel disease that has tormented for many years.

Not to the point of cancer, but this disease of Pele is very dangerous. Three months ago, he once had to remove part of a tumor, and spent nearly a month in the hospital to recover. At that time, the hospital announced that Pele probably had to undergo chemotherapy.

Thus, from 2019 to now, there have been at least 3 times when Pele had to be hospitalized in a state of quite emergency.

At the beginning of 2019, "Football King" Pele had a fever and was hospitalized in Paris, France. RMC Sport channel said that Pele was hospitalized on April 3, 2019. A fever is not life-threatening, but hospitalization is necessary to prevent the risk. At that time, "Soccer King" went to Paris to attend a promotional event.

Pele suffered from hip problems for many years, unable to walk without help. In 2014, he was hospitalized for a while due to a severe urinary tract i.nfection.

Pele is known as the king of football. During his early playing career, he scored more than 1000 goals. With 77 goals in 92 matches, he is the greatest striker of the Brazilian team.

In addition, he is also the youngest World Cup Champion and the youngest World Cup Scorer in history. In the four World Cups that Pele participated in, he was crowned champion three times - an unprecedented record. Pele won the World Cups in 1958, 1962 and 1970. He scored 12 goals in 14 World Cup matches he participated in, and also received the Golden Ball a.ward of the 1970 FIFA World Cup. He retired in 1977 and was awarded the title. Considered one of the greatest players in football history.

Pele is credited with coining the term "The Beautiful Game" to refer to football, and his "video play and knack for scoring spectacular goals" have made him a global icon, with teams his travels the world to capitalize on his success. After his retirement, he embarked on acting and commercial projects. He was elected President Emeritus of the New York Cosnnos in 2010.

Pele had a romantic relationship with TV presenter Xuxa from 1981 to 1986, which helped launch her career.

Pele married Assyria Lemos Seixas, a psychologist and gospel artist, in April 1994, and she gave birth to twins Joshua and Celeste after fertility treatment. In 2008, the couple broke up.

In 2016, Pele announced his intention to marry Marcia Aoki, a Brazilian-Japanese medical equipment importer from Penápolis, So Paulo, whom he has been dating since 2010.
