Most important is be a good man.

We're not great friends, but I admire him. If he thinks he's the best player of the century, that's his problem.

Football is like a religion to me. I worship the ball, and I treat it like a god. Too many players think of a football as something to kick. They should be taught to caress it and to treat it like a precious gem.

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

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.
