Pele reappears on social media and reassures the fans: "I feel better every day"

'' I want to let you know that I'm fine. I feel better with each passing day. ''

Pele reappears, surprisingly, on social networks, posting a photo in which he appears with a mask on his face.

"I don't think - he writes on twitter - that the mask I wear for my protection can hide my happiness ''.

'' Thanks a lot to all of you - concludes the former footballer - who send me good energy every day ''.

Pele, 81, underwent an operation a few months ago at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo, for a "suspicious" colon cancer, discovered during routine examinations. An operation that once again put a strain on the body of the three-time world champion, already scarred a few years ago by a hip operation that had forced him to wheelchair.

For him, many messages of encouragement from the fans.
