Brazil Important words from Brazilian icon

Vinicius Jr may be a future Real Madrid Galactico, but he can currently only dream of replicating the type of career bestowed upon Pele, who has some wise words for the teenager.

Already part of the Flamengo first-team squad at the tender age of 17, many have tipped the forward for big things ahead of his 45 million euro move to LaLiga.

"The important thing, which I always followed in my life, was what my father ofen told me: never believe that you are the best player in the world, never," Pele said during a Brazilian FA broadcast.

"This is the message I can give you because you've already decided where to play. God gave me my talents [but] I could never believe I was better than the others.

"I could be the same, or in good form, but I'd never believe I was the best."

Pele also stressed how Vinicius must remain professional and humble as he looks to develop into a world class player.

"[There's always] something to learn," noted Pele.

"Whenever you enter the field, you believe that you will be Vinicius, you will play, you will score your goal, but never believe that you're better than the others."
