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

I was never motivated by money. I think above all else about the happiness of my family, regardless of money.

It is very simple, Messi is the best in the world, and if you give him a little bit of space, he can do whatever he wants.

My tatoos tell the whole story of my life.

It is good to be Compared with the best player [Pele]. But my dad told me about Garrincha’s style as he moved forward, went up, attacked and dribbled. Garrincha’s style is more similar to Neymar’s.

[Going to Barca] was a decision I took with my family. They helped me a lot. It’s been a dream come true. I’m really happy.

I prefer that Argentina wins the World Cup. Messi deserves it for all he has done in football. He’s my friend, I wish him the best.

I’m a bit sad because I’m leaving my cherished team in a city where I grew up and where I played for nine years in Santos. But I’m even happier to be facing a new challenge and for making a dream come true.

I think that Instagram suits me. People know I like to use it all the time.

I have both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as my idols. If I can take a little of each player’s game and make it my own, I would be very happy.

Little by little, Leo Messi and I are understanding each other better.

All that matters is to help the team.

I never lacked respect to the fans and I think every player should be allowed to stay or leave a club. You are not obligated to remain at a club, if you wish to leave then the player has that right.

I’m not a spiteful man, never been. I always forgive. The final decision isn’t mine, but God’s. God knows what He does.

It was a huge thrill, to step on a pitch of a championship like the World Cup, is a sensation that. You know, passes everything in your head.

Individually, I always want to give the most.

I think I respect everyone votes and everyone must respect my votes. My vote bdo in 2015 was for Lionel Messi because, for me, he had an amazing season and he deserved to win.

When you’re great! You attract great! When you’re average! You attract average!

Great and small suffer the same mishaps.

Recycle your pain, allow your pain to reach you to greatness.

I figured something out. And it is no secret what I figured out. Whatever the majority of people were doing, I found myself doing the opposite. I wanted to chase something great.

What you do has far greater impact than what you say.

Remember, your mind is your greatest asset, so be careful what you put into it.

The great advantage [the telephone] possesses over every other form of electrical apparatus consists in the fact that it requires no skill to operate the instrument.

This I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.
