More quotes by Pele
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.
Pele
Everything on earth is a game. A passing thing. We all end up dead. We all end up the same, don't we?
Pele
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.
Pele
Sport is something that is very inspirational for young people.
Pele
The World Cup is a very complicated tournament - six games, seven if you make it to the final - and maybe if you lose one game you're out, even if you're the best.

A lot of people, when a guy scores a lot of goals, think, 'He's a great player', because a goal is very important, but a great player is a player who can do everything on the field. He can do assists, encourage his colleagues, give them confidence to go forward. It is someone who, when a team does not do well, becomes one of the leaders.
Pele
The bicycle kick is not easy to do.
Pele
A penalty is a cowardly way to score.
Pele
Great teams are not made up of many well-rounded players. Great teams are made up of a variety of players, each having their own strengths.
Pele
Everything is practice.
Pele
Yes, I have a lot of business interests. But I don't work for just anyone, and I choose the companies very carefully.
Pele
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.
Pele
I played futsal growing up in Baurd. In futsal you need to think quick and play quick so its easier for you when you move to normal football.
Pele
Football is the best, is the biggest sport in the world.
Pele
People always ask me: 'When is the new Pele going to be born?' Never. My father and mother have closed the factory.
Pele
I think that France, Germany, Spain, Holland and England will join Brazil in the semi-finals.
