Pele, Brazil's greatest footballer, said he believed high salaries and greedy players were a danger to the modern game.

The 70-year-old former New York Cosmos player told a news conference held in Hong Kong to promote the reformed US soccer club that players' loyalties now are where the money is....

Pele was named the joint best player of the 20th Century alongside Argentine Diego Maradona by world football's governing body FIFA in 2000.
