The first World Cup I remember was in the 1950 when I was 9 or 10 years old. My father was a soccer player, and there was a big party, and when Brazil lost to Uruguay, I saw my father crying.
I sometimes lie awake at night and wonder why I am still so popular and, to be honest, I don't know.
All my life I thank God. My family was very religious.
I always think that I would have become an actor if I hadn't been a soccer player.
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 doesn't die. Pele will never die. Pele is going to go on for ever.
