How was your redeployemment after your footballistic carrier?

I’ve had already an important pending project:

The creation of the Gol de Letra foundation, with Leonardo, with the aim of helping children who live in favelas. Because of that, I’ve been making some publicites and I’m currently working for the brazilian television.

You are the vice-president of the Gol de Letra association with your friend Leonardo. What are your objectives?

The Gol de Letra association is the french antenna of the brazilian foundation.

The goal of the brazilian foundation is to allow the most underprivileged children to begin once again theirs lives by giving them an access to the education, the culture and the social helping.

There are currently two centers in Brazil, one in São Paulo and the other in Rio.

Most of 900 children take part of the program.

In 2001, UNESCO has recognized Gol de Letra as a world model for the help offered for the unprivileged children.

The goal of the association in France is to show our work in Brazil and to collect money:

– By organizing sport or cultural events

– In the form of gifts

During a lot of years, you were the "Parc des Princes" idol. What do you think about your french experience?

A real professional success and a great personal enrichment.

In 1994, you were a world champion with the "Seleção" in the United States under the duet Parreira-Zagallo commands. What are the characteristics and the styles of this two recognised personalities of the brazilian football?

Do you think that their ideology will succeed for the brazilian selection in the next huge competitions?

They have a lot of experience and specially a good tactical organization. I think they will succeed because moreover their professional qualities, the quality of this generation is impressing.

Which team has given you more sensation? Paris SG or São Paulo FC?

Both of them, but with São Paulo I’d won more titles. That team has definitely marked a period of the brazilian football.

You had been a fantastic number 10. Currently who is the most impressive player at this position in your opinion?

Ronaldinho, certainly. He has a lot of talent and a great technique, he has speed and a great view on the ground. He is a complete player who can only make us dream.
