Most important is be a good man.

I sometimes lie awake at night and wonder why I am still so popular and, to be honest, I don't know.

Over the years I've learnt to live with two persons in my heart. One is Edson, who has fun with his friends and family; the other is the football player Pele. I didn't want the name. 'Pele' sounds like baby-talk in Portuguese.

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.

No doubt, I am earning more money with my endorsements than I ever earned playing soccer.

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

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