Romario quotes:

Strikers are egotists, selfish. We have to be.

I have scored against every team, every country, every defender in the world.

If someone criticizes me, I strike back.

We Brazilians, happily or unhappily, leave a lot to the last minute.

I'm inspired by challenges. My life was always like this.

I have my way of doing things.

I am not happy to play for Barcelona, but Barcelona should be happy that I play there.

Messi has all the conditions to be the best.

Officially I'm not playing any more. I've stopped. My time is up. Everything has been a lot of fun.

The coach should keep out of the way... He is an important figure, of course, but is more likely to lose a match than win it. Matches are won by players.

I pay my own bills. I feel my own pain.

God created me to delight people with my goals.

I'll never forget my friends and where I came from.

I'm happy because I won't have to train again, or travel or sit in team hotels.

When I was born, the man in the sky pointed to me and said, 'That's the guy.'

I'm genuine and people can believe what I say.

I'm like any Brazilian: I like to go out and enjoy myself.

In my private life I do what I like. The night is my friend. If I don't go out, I don't score.

The night has always been my friend. When I go out I feel good, then I always score goals.

There's nothing I like more than football ...except for sex.

When I sleep to much I don't score. That's the reason I like to go out a lot.

Will I become a coach in the future? No way. I'd never be able to put up with someone like me.
