“I have mixed feeling..mixed feeling in the sense that as well as we have played well in the World Cup and in the African cup and we’ve not being able to bring any trophy home makes me a little bit worried for the future”, Pele said.

“If you look at our league..it’s in shambles, I mean the league we’re not bringing out developing players and we’re not bringing players from the premiership to even the national level so there is a danger”,

“The future is not bright at all and I’m very very worried”,

Today you can look around yourself and ask how many of our players do we have who are playing in the top leagues and when you answer that question you see that the danger is still ahead of us…”

“And that is why I don’t wanna speak, I’m just quiet watching but I’m seeing the danger coming”.
