When football stars disappear, so do the teams, and that is a very curious phenomenon. It is like in the theatre, in a play, where there is a great star. If the star is not well, the whole cast suffers.

I want to do my best to make the people happy. I play with my heart for the sport.

Brazil eats, sleeps and drinks football. It lives football!

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

Success isn't determined by how many times you win, but by how you play the week after you lose.

Most important is be a good man.

For 20 years they have asked me the same question, who is the greatest? Pele or Maradona? I replay that all you have to do is look at the facts - how many goals did he score with his right foot or with his head?
