More quotes by Pele
Everything is practice.
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
If you don't give education to people, it is easy to manipulate them.
Pele
George Best was the greatest player in the world.
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 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 more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.
Pele
Brazil is crazy about football. People, they wait for this moment, but this doesn't mean we are going to win the championship. That is the problem.
Pele
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
When I was playing, they said soccer was a man's world and women should remain on the sidelines, all I can say is I'm glad I never had to go up against Mia Hamm
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
People always ask me: 'When is the new Pele going to be born?' Never. My father and mother have closed the factory.
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
No doubt, I am earning more money with my endorsements than I ever earned playing soccer.
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
Yes, Ronaldinho is bigger than me. Exactly 4 centimeters.
Pele
There is always someone out there getting better than you by training harder than you.
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
When football stars disappear, so do the teams, and that is a very curious phenomenon. It is like in the theatre, in a play, where there is a great star. If the star is not well, the whole cast suffers.
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
