To be a striker you need to be in good shape.
Pele
Image
Everything is practice.
Pele
Image
I don't believe there is such a thing as a 'born' soccer player. Perhaps you are born with certain skills and talents, but quite frankly it seems impossible to me that one is actually born to be an ace soccer player
Pele
Image
Everyone talks about the forwards, the players when they are scoring goals. But sometimes I look for the complete player not just the players who score but those who can pass.
Pele
Image
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

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.

His left foot is fantastic. It's like Mozart. God gave Freddy the gift to play soccer. If he is prepared mentally and physically, nobody will stop him. (on Freddy Adu)

No doubt, I am earning more money with my endorsements than I ever earned playing soccer.
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
Image
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
Image
Success isn't determined by how many times you win, but by how you play the week after you lose.
Pele
Image
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
Image
Every kid around the world who plays soccer wants to be Pele. I have a great responsibility to show them not just how to be like a soccer player, but how to be like a man.
Pele
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I think that France, Germany, Spain, Holland and England will join Brazil in the semi-finals.
Pele
Image
Yes, I have a lot of business interests. But I don't work for just anyone, and I choose the companies very carefully.
Pele
Image
People always ask me: 'When is the new Pele going to be born?' Never. My father and mother have closed the factory.
