I went to watch Pele play. Trump

US President Donald Trump has expressed admiration for the game of legendary Brazilian former football player Pele.

“Years ago, when I was young, there was a football player named Pele who played for a team called the Cosmos (New York from 1975-1977). I don’t want to reveal my age, but it was a long time ago. I went to watch him play, and he was a fantastic player.

It may sound cliché, but I would say that Pele was more than just a great football player,” the US President said.
