As the World Cup 2002 comes, fans around the world want to know who will hold the Cup in the
air at last.
For Chinese fans, the question is: Can China become a black horse and rush into the second round
in the end?
Pele, 62, a member  of three Brazilian Wo rld Cup-winning teams, the best player of the century,
talked about it last week in Shanghai.
The Chinese team will be in Group C for the first round, with Brazil, Costa Rica and Turkey. "Maybe
China can make full use of its speed advantage (速度优势), I think it can come out of Group C with
Brazil.
The biggest weakness for China is that it has no experience on the international (国际的) matches.
But Pele said the experience of Bora-the Chinese team's coach (教练) and Pele's good friend, can
make wonderful things happen.
The 57-year-old Bora has taken  three different countries into the second rounds of World Cup finals
and won Mexico a place in the top eight.
But which team will win in 2002? Pele said he preferred Argentina, England, France and Portugal.
Pele is known for his words as well as his football skills. His predictions (预言) always seem to be
wrong at last. But he said, "This time, I hope my predictions will all be right." |
