Brazil's always had great players, both at home and abroad, but we need to put all that talent together and mould a team out of it.

I played for Santos at 16, and we had an excellent team, so it helped a lot. And then I played for Brazil at the Maracana against Argentina. So I get more experience. This was one year before the World Cup, and it made a lot of difference.

The World Cup is a very important way to measure the good players, and the great ones. It is a test of a great player.

Brazil eats, sleeps and drinks football. It lives football!

it is encouraging to hear that men of great ability themselves think that we have talent in our ranks.

I am constantly being asked about individuals. The only way to win is as a team. Football is not about one or two or three star players.
