The Head Talks To The Heart And

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.

I Want To Do My Best To Make The People Happy. I Play With My Heart For The Sport.

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.

Another Reason Why I Am Always Close To The People, Because The Communication Is Very Important. When I Stopped To Play Soccer I Continued To... I Continued To Work With Unicef. I Did A Lot Of Work With Unesco. We Did A Lot Of Charity Programme And Games.

I Always Had A Philosophy Which I Got From My Father. He Used To Say, 'listen. God Gave To You The Gift To Play Football. This Is Your Gift From God. If You Take Care Of Your Health, If You Are In Good Shape All The Time, With Your Gift From God No One Will Stop You, But You Must Be Prepared.'
