More quotes by Pele
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
I think that France, Germany, Spain, Holland and England will join Brazil in the semi-finals.
Pele
Brazil, always they buy from the United States. The first who was sell to the United States was football.
Pele
Over the years I've learnt to live with two persons in my heart. One is Edson, who has fun with his friends and family the other is the football player Pele. I didn't want the name. 'Pele' sounds like baby-talk in Portuguese.
Pele
A penalty is a cowardly way to score.
Pele
Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.
Pele
The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.

If you ever want to be a decent player, you have to be able to use both feet without stopping to think about it.
Pele
Of course, my father was a soccer player. He used to play very good. Then, when I was young, eight or nine years old, ten years old, I just want to be like my father.
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
Football is the only sport where you put people together, it doesn't matter if you are rich, or poor, or black, or white. It is one nation. This is the beauty of football.
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
George Best was the greatest player in the world.
Pele
I always think that I would have become an actor if I hadn't been a soccer player.
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
Success isn't determined by how many times you win, but by how you play the week after you lose.
Pele
No doubt, I am earning more money with my endorsements than I ever earned playing soccer.
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
Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do
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
