I was born to play football, just like Beethoven was born to write music and Michelangelo was born to paint.

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

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?

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.

Yes, Ronaldinho is bigger than me. Exactly 4 centimeters.

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

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