\"Go-To-Hell-Pele-Brazilian-Unrest\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

Brazillian football hero Pele appeal to people ” Lets forget this protests ” but\u00a0Brazilians gave the only answer to football crusted ” Go to hell Pele “<\/h1>\n

Brazil is currently hosting the Confederations Cup, a tournament seen as a dry-run before it hosts the World Cup next year, which is expected to draw an estimated 600,000 visitors to the country.<\/p>\n

“Let’s forget all this commotion happening in Brazil, all these protests, and let’s remember how the Brazilian squad is our country and our blood,” Pele said in a brief broadcast via the O Globo TV network, which was also posted online.<\/p>\n

Brazil’s two biggest cities agreed to revoke an increase in public transportation fares that set off demonstrations.<\/p>\n

Those demonstrations grew into nationwide protests of more than 200,000 against poor public services, inflation and corruption.<\/p>\n

The decisions, made separately in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, followed another day of protests across Brazil, which also included a march by demonstrators around a major international soccer game in the north-eastern city of Fortaleza.<\/p>\n

This month’s transport fare hikes, which came as Brazil struggles with annual inflation of 6.5 per cent, stirred a groundswell of other complaints, leading to the biggest protests to sweep Brazil in more than two decades.<\/p>\n

Brazil Riot:Brazilians answer to Pele from social media<\/h2>\n

Despite being revered by soccer fans the world over, Pele’s image has been tarnished at home.<\/p>\n

He has delivered a string of perceived clumsy comments over the years, once prompting former Brazilian striker-turned-politician Romario to famously comment that “Pele when silent is a poet”.<\/p>\n

Social media users were less than complimentary about his latest comments, many saying that Brazil great’s wealth meant he knew little of how ordinary Brazilians lived.<\/p>\n

“Now Pele takes it upon himself to record a video telling the population to forget this commotion and back the squad. The national squad, FIFA, the stadiums costing millions, go to hell<\/strong>,” one Brazilian posted on her Facebook page.<\/p>\n

“Go to the hospitals, take a bus with no security, then I want to see if you keep saying stupid things,” wrote another in response to an online local media report on his remarks.<\/p>\n

“Pele, your ignorance is in proportion with your footballing genius,” said another post.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
