Football legend Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pel\u00e9, died on Thursday 29 December, aged 82. Now the Brazilian idol is celebrated all over the world. – He is one of the very, very biggest, says Drillo to news. – The most divine of footballers and happy men, writes Gary Lineker on Twitter. Tributed around the world Social media is full of condolences and tributes to the 82-year-old. On Instagram, daughter Kely Nascimento writes “Everything we are is thanks to you”. “The greatest football icon of all time”, writes Jan Aage Fj\u00f8rtoft on Twitter. – It is terribly sad. He is one of the world’s greatest sportsmen of all time, not just within football, says former football commentator Arne Scheie to NTB. TRIBUTES: Pel\u00e9 introduced the world to Brazilian samba football. Now he is praised worldwide. Photo: JOEDSON ALVES \/ AFP Drillo’s meeting with Pel\u00e9 The Norwegian coaching legend got to meet Pel\u00e9 in 1958. Sweden was then the World Cup organizer, and Pel\u00e9 was to win his first of a total of three World Cup golds (1958, 1962, 1970). The then 17-year-old Brazilian met the then 16-year-old Drillo in connection with Brazil’s group stage match against the Soviet Union in Gothenburg. ADMIRES: Drillo met the one-year-older Pel\u00e9 as a 16-year-old and has admired him as a player ever since. Photo: Marit Hommedal \/ NTB Pel\u00e9, with number 10 on his back, came to the championship injured. This was his first match in the championship. Drillo remembers it as the match in which Garrincha broke through and became world famous. – So did Pel\u00e9, too. After that I followed and watched Pel\u00e9 in … I don’t know how many matches, but naturally I was a great admirer of Pel\u00e9 as a player. He had most of it. Both as facilitator, creativity, goalscorer. He had feints that almost no one else had. No, one of the very largest, says Drillo. – At the top of the list, \u00d8stfoldingen describes the Brazilian as pleasant and polite. And quite rightly: Pel\u00e9 had his definitive breakthrough in the next match against France in the World Cup semi-final. Then, aged 17, Pel\u00e9 became the youngest ever to score a hat trick in a World Cup. A few days later, he became the youngest ever to score in a World Cup final. Sweden was beaten 5\u20132. news expert \u00c5ge Hareide believes the world has not seen the like. – I have Pel\u00e9 at the top of the list. Because I was born when Pel\u00e9 grew up. He was only 17 when he played in Sweden in 1958, and I had the Brazilian team on the wall. I have followed him all the way and then he became world champion in 1970, and I remember that WC very well. He is a fantastic player, says Hareide. TOP: news’s \u200b\u200bexpert commentator \u00c5ge Hareide believes Pel\u00e9 is the best footballer of all time. Photo: Luis Vieira \/ AP Brazil’s national team manager Tite talked about his relationship with Pel\u00e9 and their first meeting at a press conference on Sunday. – He is probably the only person I have met where I started shaking when we shook hands. I speak from the bottom of my heart when I say that it was a very emotional moment for me to meet him. I started shaking, my hands were sweating and I felt my pulse racing. This is a difficult time, said a serious Tite, wishing Pel\u00e9 well.
