“You don't replace great players like Pele, Maradona, Eusebio or Roy Keane. You just create new players in new teams. That is why the game moves forward.”
Carlos Queiroz
“The great players, I used to say this, you don't replace Pele, Maradona, you just produce new players and new teams,”
“Pele was the most complete player I've ever seen.”

“For 20 years they have been asking me the same question, who is the greatest? Maradona or Pele? I reply that all you have to do is look at the facts - how many goals did he score with his right foot or with his head?”
Pele
“Of course I'm flattered to be compared to Pele, but Pele only left the playing fields after scoring 1,000 goals and I'm just getting started.”
Ronaldo
“I am not Pele or Maradona”
Robbie Savage
