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

Everything on earth is a game. A passing thing. We all end up dead. We all end up the same, don't we?
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
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
