DAVID LUIZ

I like to have fun, but there are moments you need to show yourself, and that, for me, is on the pitch.

Lukaku is a fantastic player, and a great friend.

I think everybody is born pure. You never go to the maternity ward and hold a baby that has bad energy.

It's always a battle to play against Diego Costa.

A World Cup would only be a true experience if I were wearing the Brazilian shirt. Otherwise, it would just be like playing for a club.

My respect for Chelsea will be forever.

I always love football, but of course it's good when you win and the team is doing well.

My faith gives me the belief that I can go out and perform and improve as a player. It gives me strength and inspiration.

I am delighted to be joining a big English club. I know very well the quality that Chelsea has.

What I've learned in life is that you can't always win, especially in sport, but you can be a true champion for everything you did to get there.

The collective comes before the individual.

My dream was always to play for Brazil.

Winning the Premier League is never easy. Whether you're at home or away, the games are always tough.

The weather was so cold in Lisbon when I arrived. I decided, 'Let's grow the hair to hide my ears.' And after that, it became nice hair.

I had the opportunity to play in many fantastic squads. I won with great teams but also lost with great teams.

Some people in the press don't respect people in life. I can put my head on my pillow and sleep great because I respect everyone.

I know I look crazy, but I am not!

Strikers never lose games... we have to be honest and say that.

I can wake up crazy or normal; it depends.

I've always said my shoulders are broad, and I can take on that extra responsibility. I love it. I want it. I prefer to take it on myself to help the other guys, who can then go out and play with their heads clear and calm.

I changed my position when I was 16 or 17. I started in midfield or further forward as a number 10, and then in one tournament, we lost two defenders to injury in the same game, and we didn't have any on the bench. So I played at the back, and the manager of the first team saw me, and he said, 'I want this guy in the first team,' and that was that!

It's always difficult to win matches.

You cannot hide yourself from any situation.

I cannot get to the top on my own. Everyone is important to me. Everyone has played a part in my success, and I try to show that.

When Chelsea came to me and said they wanted me to come back, I was happy because I had a special moment here - one of the best in my career. I won the Champions League, the Europa League.
