Pelé (in memoriam): “I have to thank God because all these paths I've taken, my mother was the one who guided me. I imagine none of our idols would be as great if they weren't guided by their mothers' love.”

I have to thank God because all these paths I've taken, my mother was the one who guided me. Celestinha, thank you. You have been my inspiration from day one.

Your role in my journey was fundamental. I think that's what every mother wants most in the world, right? To leave a good legacy for their children. Not just living life, but ensuring that the journey is good, with safety and love.”

You know, Celestinha… I imagine none of our idols would be as great if they weren't guided by their mothers' love.

You're not just my mother. You are the mother of everything I've been. You are the mother of my football.”

There would be no Dico without Celestinha. There would be no King Pelé without Dona Celeste.”
