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

Pele
Sport is something that is very inspirational for young people.
Pele
No doubt, I am earning more money with my endorsements than I ever earned playing soccer.
Pele
To be a striker you need to be in good shape.
