Pele ‘super well’, says daughter
Rio de Janeiro: The daughter of Brazil football legend Pele has said her father is “super well” and responding positively to treatment for an infection.
Pele spent his second day in an intensive care unit Friday after being admitted to Sao Paulo’s Albert Einstein Hospital on Monday with a urinary tract infection, as per reported.
“He is very well, he is responding well,” Flavia Carvalho said Friday.
“There is no crisis and he is not in a serious condition. He is receiving the treatment that he needs, that’s all. You (media) are killing him.”
A hospital statement earlier said Pele remained “under temporary kidney support, lucid and with no need of breathing support”.
The three-time World Cup winner was released from the same hospital Nov 13 after undergoing surgery to remove kidney stones.
In the past decade, Pele has undergone surgery for a detached retina and a hip replacement.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
