I like the way Luis Suarez plays. When I was growing up, I was a Liverpool fan, and I watched a lot of him when he came to Liverpool. He did a really good job.
Ronaldinho is the biggest idol in football for me. I like him a lot.
Every kid around the world who plays soccer wants to be Pele. I have a great responsibility to show them not just how to be like a soccer player, but how to be like a man.
I don't think Pele was the ultimate hero for our generation, he is the ultimate hero of every generation of Brazilians.
Ronaldinho - he was one of my idols.
And one fine day the goddess of the wind kisses the foot of man, that mistreated, scorned foot, and from that kiss the soccer idol is born. He is born in a straw crib in a tin-roofed shack and he enters the world clinging to a ball.
When you see your father playing in the first division, and you see players like Ronaldo with the crowd singing their names, you want that.
I hope maybe one day I can be like Wayne Rooney. Maybe then some young players will be proud to play against me. That would be amazing.
The myth about me as a footballer has grown: I am now the lost Maradona of Norway.
My idol was always Tomas Rosicky. He used to be phenomenal. He had such a good eye for an opening and knew where his team-mates were, and he was so quick.
For me, growing up, my main role model was Rio Ferdinand when he was playing with England. He was a centre half. I liked his style of play, and he played with a lot of passion.
The player I look up to is Rio Ferdinand. I have always played at the back, and I've always tried to base my game on his.
Everyone went crazy over Wayne Rooney, but I get more excited by Cristiano Ronaldo.
