When you play against dirty players or very tough players, it's easy to escape because you know what they're going to do. But when the player is tough but intelligent, it's much more difficult.

The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.

I love people. I wanted to be with the people. I wanted to give something back what I get from football, because God gave everything to me.

To be a striker you need to be in good shape.

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

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?

You must respect people and work hard to be in shape. And I used to train very hard. When the others players went to the beach after training, I was there kicking the ball.
