Who said "Football is not about one or two or three star players" (4)

I believe the answer is:

pele

(Other definitions for pele that I've seen before include "Brazilian footballer of renown" , "Brazilian said to be the best footballer ever" , "Brazilian footballing legend" , "Legendary Brazilian soccer player" , "Brazil's hero" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
