Yes, I have a lot of business interests. But I don't work for just anyone, and I choose the companies very carefully.

People always ask me: 'When is the new Pele going to be born?' Never. My father and mother have closed the factory.

I think I've always had the shots. But in the past, I've suffered too many mental lapses. Now, I'm starting to get away from that and my mental discipline and commitment to the game are much better. I think I'm really taking a good look at the big picture. That's the difference between being around for the final or watching the final from my sofa at home.

A lot of people, when a guy scores a lot of goals, think, 'He's a great player', because a goal is very important, but a great player is a player who can do everything on the field. He can do assists, encourage his colleagues, give them confidence to go forward. It is someone who, when a team does not do well, becomes one of the leaders.

I played futsal growing up in Baurd. In futsal you need to think quick and play quick so its easier for you when you move to normal football.

It was with a homosexual, I was barely 14 years old. But let's be fair, I wasn't the only one who did it. He was a man in Bauru that all our team visited.

There is always someone out there getting better than you by training harder than you.
