Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.

Wherever you go, there are three icons that everyone knows: Jesus Christ, Pele and Coca-Cola.

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.

The level of football in England is the top. English football is the leader in the world.

Every kid around the world who plays soccer wants to be Pele. I have a great responsibility to show them not just how to be like a soccer player, but how to be like a man.

Success isn't determined by how many times you win, but by how you play the week after you lose.

A penalty is a cowardly way to score.
