Great genetics are not necessarily a precursor for success in the game. Brazilian Legend Pelé has often said that soccer stars are not born. Without proper soccer training a player will never reach his full potential. It is true that great speed would benefit someone who plays as a winger but would not be as useful for a goalkeeper. The greatest advantage of soccer is that it is not as discriminating as basketball or volleyball. There are no limitations when it comes to physique and it all comes down to individual soccer skills.

Always when I come to the field, I try to do my best for other people.

The World Cup is a very important way to measure the good players, and the great ones. It is a test of a great player.

Most important is be a good man.

Everyone talks about the forwards, the players when they are scoring goals. But sometimes I look for the complete player not just the players who score but those who can pass.

If you ever want to be a decent player, you have to be able to use both feet without stopping to think about it.

I always think that I would have become an actor if I hadn't been a soccer player.
