“People don’t understand how obsessed I am with winning.”

There are players that try to imitate others, but at free-kick time it is a personal thing. Every person has their own technique and routine when they stand over the ball and I have mine, I am not trying to copy anyone.

Barca is more than a club and a great team and I want to contribute to Messi staying the best for many years.

I like boots that are comfortable. Better for fit and touch as well.

No one can compare to Ronaldinho. I remember his plays, his dribbles. I remember him winning every title at the Camp Nou. He made history at Barca, he made history with Brazil and he’s still making history.

I like to watch good football so I like to watch good players. I like Cristiano Ronaldo, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Wayne Rooney.

I feel like any other Brazilian citizen, I have a lot of happiness in me. I thank God for showing me the path to follow.

I vote for who I think it deserves it. I already voted for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2014 [when he won his 3rd bdo]. I don’t see a problem.

I’m a guy who doesn’t like to be alone, and the joy that my friends pass me, with them being always by my side, is gigantic.

When we face challenges and difficult times, we must hold on to our dreams and continue to pursue them.

I hope to continue my work, winning championships with my club. The acknowledgement comes naturally for those who deserve it.

My foot, for a football player, is very beautiful!

I wish to bring back the legacy that those athletes created on the pitch.

Life only makes sense when our highest ideal is to serve Christ!

Individually, I always want to give the most. I want to help the Brazilian National Team the best way possible, whether is with goals, assists or even a slide tackle, whatever. All that matters is to help the team.

There will always be ups and downs. This is part of the game. No matter what, the story is yet to be written.

The secret is to believe in your dreams; in your potential that you can be like your star, keep searching, keep believing and don’t lose faith in yourself.

A good heart will always win.

Anyone can deal with victory. Only the mighty can bear defeat.

Firm and patient optimism always yields its rewards.

Never go in search of love, go in search of life, and life will find you the love you seek.

Focus on essentials and try not to get distracted and bogged down by things that don’t add value to the bottom line.

Your birth may be common, But death must be history.

Progress and civilization are the results of the efforts of genius, not the gossip of the majority.

Yes, I’m struggling, but damn I’m trying.
