The 82-year-old Brazilian soccer legend wrote on Saturday afternoon that the messages for him, and the Brazilian national team matches he is watching at the Qatar World Cup, are "giving him energy."
"My friends, I want everyone to be calm and positive," he wrote in an Instagram post, adding that "I am strong, with a lot of hope and following my treatment as usual. Thanks to all the medical and nursing team for all the care I am receiving."

"Thank you very much for everything," he concludes."
Pele was admitted on Tuesday, and on Thursday he said he was on his regular monthly visit.
In September 2021, he had undergone surgery to remove a tumor from his colon and was known to be on chemotherapy.
On Saturday, the hospital reported that Pele "continues to be treated" and that his condition "remains stable", with no deterioration in the last 24 hours.
An earlier statement cited respiratory infection as the cause of the admission, and also mentioned a review of his chemotherapy.
Reports, however, said that Pele was being given palliative treatment, such as terminal patients, and that he was not responding to chemotherapy.
