Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Jonathan Clauss’ “Little Brother” interview!
Yesterday and following several days of mourning, the Brazilian people said their final farewell to Pelé, the Brazilian football legend who died at the age of 82 last Friday. After 24 hours of paying tribute to his coffin on the lawn of the Santos stadium, the Brazilians accompanied Pelé in a huge crowd during a procession towards his burial which took place in the privacy of his loved ones.
These celebrations, necessarily touching, are nevertheless accompanied by a controversy. The personalities of Brazilian football to make the trip were quite few and that did not please Brazil. Neymar, in particular, has been represented by his father and the absence of Santos’ other child has prompted particularly sour comments.

Neymar notably shared the stage with Brazilian singer Ana Aoas during this evening. Images brocaded on the other side of the Atlantic where it is estimated that in addition to his noticeable absence, Neymar might avoid appearing at a party in the middle of the tribute to King Pelé. .
