00:00It's so exciting. I shouldn't say this because you'll say I'm old, but I watched Pelé play.
00:05He played for the Cosmos. Do you know that?
00:08I said, no. I got a lot of things going on.
00:12He said, Messi. I said, really, he's a big fan. He's a big fan of yours.
00:18I don't know. You may be better than Pelé. Pelé was pretty good. Who's better? Him or Pelé?
00:22Messi.
00:26I agree. And, Leo, you came in and you won. And that's something very hard to do. Very, very unusual.
00:34And, frankly, there's a lot more pressure put on you than anyone would know because, you know, you're sort of
00:38expected to win.
00:39But almost nobody wins. They come in. They're great. They're the best in the world. They get paid a fortune.
00:44You came in and you won. With all that pressure, that's an amazing, an amazing tribute. So congratulations.
