Sport is something that is very inspirational for young people.

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

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

I think I've always had the shots. But in the past, I've suffered too many mental lapses. Now, I'm starting to get away from that and my mental discipline and commitment to the game are much better. I think I'm really taking a good look at the big picture. That's the difference between being around for the final or watching the final from my sofa at home.

I think that France, Germany, Spain, Holland and England will join Brazil in the semi-finals.

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.

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