The state of health of Brazilian soccer legend Pele continues to worry his fans.
The body of the “king”, as it is called, no longer responds to treatment, and his health is in constant deterioration, according to the Spanish newspaper “Marca”.
Doctors at Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo, which he entered in late November, also confirmed that his condition had worsened in recent days, and that he was no longer responding to treatment.
They added that the 82-year-old now lives on complementary care only to help him breathe and relieve pain.
Tumor development
At the same time, Billy’s daughter, Kelly Nascimento, posted on her Instagram account a recent photo of her father, taken on Friday in the hospital.
And Kelly appeared in the picture, embracing her father, dozing on his chest, saying: “We are still here, in struggle and faith … another night together.”
While the Albert Einstein Hospital announced, Thursday, that Pele is suffering from the development of tumors, and requires more comprehensive care to treat kidney and heart failure.

It is reported that the legend had suffered from increasingly deteriorating health in recent years.
He has been undergoing regular chemotherapy treatment since he was diagnosed with colon cancer last year.
He also underwent surgery to remove the tumor in September 2021.
The former player is due to spend Christmas this year in hospital.
