Everybody knows my life. I won a lot of tournaments and scored more than 1,000 goals, won three World Cups but I could not play in Olympic Games.

The head talks to the heart and the heart talks to the feet.

The World Cup is a very complicated tournament - six games, seven if you make it to the final - and maybe if you lose one game you're out, even if you're the best.

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

Love is more important than what we can take...Please say with me three times-Love! Love! Love!

If I pass away one day, I am happy because I tried to do my best. My sport allowed me to do so much because it's the biggest sport in the world.

Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.
