Cristiano Ronaldo "When Pele talks, the world listens. It's impossible not to get emotional when such an amazing person shows all his respect and admiration toward me. An eternal hero, a myth for all generations, and a true legend of sports. As he wisely said, we are all in the same team: the team of football".
Cafu to FIFA “Pele revolutionized football. Pele stopped a war. Pele united countries, united families. There was no race problem, or language problem. I was born in 1970. In 2002, I became a world champion. I was captain. I had the honor of receiving the World Cup Trophy from no less than whom? Pele! Man! If I say any more I’ll cry. It’s really emotional!”
Eric Cantona "An artist, in my eyes, is someone who can lighten up a dark room. I have never and will never find the difference between the pass from Pele to Carlos Alberto in the final of the World Cup in 1970 and the poetry of the young Rimbaud.”
