The coffin with the body of Pele was put on display at the Santos stadium, whose late football player is a legend. Gianni Infantino arrived at the facility, capable of shocking even in such conditions. The FIFA president took a selfie at Pele’s open coffin, followed by the footballer’s relatives.
Gianni Infantino has often caused controversy with his behavior. Even before the World Cup in Qatar, he used these words: “Today I am tormented by very strong feelings. Today I feel like a Qatari. Today I feel like an Arab. Today I feel like an African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel like an immigrant worker. Why is no one asking about compensation for the families of those killed in Europe? Maybe their life is not worth the same? Where are we going people? We must ask ourselves this question. Where are we going as a world?
These sentences have gone down in history as one of the most embarrassing and mixed feelings since the organization of the World Cup began. FIFA President continues to shock. This time he arranged “show-offs” at Pele’s open coffin.
