Be a snitch is the message Pele
is passing on to Blatter, asking him to give an honest account of his time at
FIFA.
Blatter was re-elected as FIFA President back in May,
amidst the arrest of 9 past and present officials of the football association.
Blatter subsequently resigned his position as
President, but the recent arrest has given cause for concern.
“I was invited to help Fifa, with Franz Beckenbauer,
and we worked together for two or three years, so it is very sad when you see
what has happened,” Pele told Sky Sports.
“I don’t know exactly what happened, you hear but you
do not know, but after what has happened in the last two years, Blatter
deserves to be honest and say the truth of what he has seen.”
Among the Fifa officials taken into custody in Zurich
earlier this year was former Brazilian Football Federation chief Jose Maria
Marin and Pele called on his home nation to get its affairs in order.
“This all happened after the last World Cup, when all
Brazilians were very sad [about the national team’s defeat], and then you have
our representative in Fifa in this situation,” he added. “So we have to forget
the last World Cup and clean up.”
