Brazil, always they buy from the United States. The first who was sell to the United States was football.
No individual can win a game by himself.
The head talks to the heart and the heart talks to the feet.
There is always someone out there getting better than you by training harder than you.
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.
I was born to play football, just like Beethoven was born to write music and Michelangelo was born to paint.
A team is not made up of isolated individuals. Always stay in the game. Don't be passive. Football is a team game. No one plays alone. Success depends on your whole team being a single unit.
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.
Enthusiasm is everything. It must...
Everything is practice.
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.
The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.
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.
Success isn't determined by how many times you win, but by how you play the week after you lose.
