It's good for Brazilian football to have idols, stars, big stars coming back to Brazilian clubs. The tournaments become much better, more interesting. Ze Roberto, Juninho Pernambucano, Ronaldinho Gaucho, and other players who have returned to Brazil strengthen the league and improve the tournaments.

My father has been by my side since I was little. He takes care of things, my finances and my family.

I've always had the greatest respect for and listened to both my father and my mother. I've always tried to follow my parents' advice because these are people who want the best for me.

Every team going to Brazil 2014 will be there to win, and it's going to be a fiercely contested World Cup.

Right now I'm living my boyhood dream, which was to play for a European club. The fact that it's a huge club like Barcelona makes it a tremendous honour. I like everything about the city: the climate, the people. It's quite similar to Brazil, which helps a lot. There's even a beach!

I can't be compared to Pele. I need to do so much more to be compared to Pele. Pele is fantastic. And he's unique.

I'm a happy guy. I like to joke around. I'm irreverent. I love my family; I love my son. I was very happy with and proud of the birth of my son. I grew up a lot after he was born. I'm just an easy and happy guy.

Messi is a great player. Playing against him is not good - it is bad.

The first game is always the most difficult, for the nerves you have before you begin to play.

Everything in my life has happened very early, personally and professionally.

I am not the type of person who lets the pressure get to him. I try to see it as my friend. I align with it to calm me down.

Not only the attackers, but the defenders - it's on the attackers to prepare themselves to break through the strong defense.

My dad just wants me to dedicate myself to playing and to focus on the ball.

Winning titles plays a big role in the Ballon d'Or race.

It doesn't matter who scores the goals, just that we win the games.

I do not like to put one title above the other. Every competition I contest and win is important.

I believe Philippe Coutinho is a player who would totally fit in Barcelona.

I was at a great club at Barcelona. I loved Barcelona.

I've always said I learned to defend myself from an opponent coming for a hard hit. Tricks are part of my repertoire; I use them to try to get past my opponents, but the objective is always to score goals.

When we're on vacation - it doesn't matter where - I will go and look for a game.

I try to be myself without being anything different.

The moment I am off the field, it's my personal time.

I'm very happy that major players are always giving their opinions about my life, my game. I am very thankful for that.

Before speaking without knowledge, saying lies, you have to present evidence.

I only want to be the best that I can be.
