Didier Deschamps also spoke about the death of Pelé, via the French Football Federation.
“
With the disappearance of Pelé, football loses one of its most beautiful legends, if not the most beautiful,
according to the 1998 world champion.
Like all legends, the King seemed immortal.
It made people dream and continued to make generations and generations of fans of our sport.
Who hasn't dreamed of being Pelé as a child?
With his number 10, he put his technical virtuosity, his audacity, his creativity at the service of his teams and in particular that of Brazil with whom he won three World Cups.
Pelé was the alliance of beauty and efficiency.
His talent and his track record will remain forever etched in our memories.
To his family, his loved ones and the Brazilian people, I send my sincere condolences and all my sympathy.
The king will remain the king,
forever.
