The first World Cup I remember was in the 1950 when I was 9 or 10 years old. My father was a soccer player, and there was a big party, and when Brazil lost to Uruguay, I saw my father crying.

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.

Everything on earth is a game. A passing thing. We all end up dead. We all end up the same, don't we?

Sport is something that is very inspirational for young people.

I treat everybody the same. You know I love to be with people: the youngsters.

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

Most important is be a good man.
