“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.”

This year will have more challenges to come. Our senses of togetherness & bravery is what will make the difference.

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.

There’s power in choosing to be loved.

It’s the failure of my debut film which made me an actor, which made me want to succeed in the industry. But that doesn’t mean I regret whatever choices I’ve made over the years. No, not even ‘Kaiyethum Doorathu!’

There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen to be in the first group.

I learnt very early in life that whenever there is a choice between peace of mind and piece of ass, go for the former.

God chooses what we go through; we choose how we go through it.

Hot heads do not give good feedback – choose a better time.

Commitment comes as a result of choice, not conditions.

God chooses what we go through; we choose how we go through it.
