In 1962 Brazil saw its new big star, Pele, getting injured in the game against Czechoslovakia and winning the first place in World Cup was something that they did not dream of.
Nevertheless, Brazilians players won the first place without the then young leader.
This was what Pele, the top Brazilian footballer, reminded when he watched Neymar getting injured in last night’s game.
Neymar is out of World Cup now and Pele stated devastated “My heart broke seeing Neymar knocked down and knowing that he will not continue helping Brazil for the remaining games. This reminded me of myself at the World Cup in 1962, when I was out. Of course God helped Brazil and finally won the trophy”.
What he hopes now is Brazil to reach the top even without Neymar.
