“When you win, you don’t get carried away. But if you go step by step, with confidence, you can go far.”

Even if there was a hand, it was the hand of God.

The goal was scored a little bit by the hand of God, another bit by the head of Maradona.

You were only a goalkeeper.

People who say that only young people voted on the Internet, those who didn’t see Pele play, forget that children are not orphans. There’s always a father who buys the computer and perhaps influences their vote. I won the people’s vote.

I’ll be too old to face a difficult championship as the one in America will surely be.

To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world.

There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen – me or Pele. Everyone would say me.

It was as if we had beaten a country, more than just a football team.

While the coach is entitled to celebrate the team’s victories, there is a manner and a way of doing so without aggravating the opponent.

I gave all I had. Now I want to enjoy my family.

When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success.

I am black or white, I’ll never be grey in my life.

My legitimate kids are Dalma and Giannina. The rest are a product of my money and mistakes.

Something that just came out of me. It was a bit of mischief.

When God decides its time, I guess he’ll come for us.

The Lord helps those who help themselves.

People don’t buy your product, they buy your confidence.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

My greatest ambition is to have a career without becoming a career woman.

Confidence is believing in yourself. Arrogance is telling others you ‘re better than they are. Confidence inspires. Arrogance destroys.

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.

I have great faith in fools – self-confidence my friends will call it.

It is not so much our friends’ help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us.

I don’t like to gamble, but if there’s one thing I’m willing to bet on, it’s myself.
