Great Pele Dropped Bombshell About Nigeria and Other African Teams At 2018 World Cup
Edson Arantes do Nascimento popularly known as Pele who is widely regarded as the greatest football player of all time has made predictions about Nigeria’s and other African teams performance at the global stage of football before the end of the 20th century.
The Brazilian, who was a three-time world champion told RT when asked about the possibility of African countries winning the World Cup before the end of the 20th century, said: ”I said so, because it’s amazing how many talented Africans are playing around the world, but when the time comes for national teams, then problems begin.
”It’s hard to say why so, because there is no special reason for that.
”Africans play leading roles in all positions, with the exception of goalkeepers. And the teams do not show themselves that way,” Pelé told RT.
Africa’s representative at the 2018 World cup in Russia are: Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Senegal
