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

I think playing against [Lionel Messi] is pretty difficult. Playing by the side of the best of the world is always good. Things get easier. And if I have to win, may it be by Messi’s side. It would be great.

I have to enjoy every moment.

I dreamt of being like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho Gaucho.

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 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.

Some people would love to have your bad days.

Sometimes I only fall in love with the moment itself not the people or places in it.

I asked god, “why do we sin?” God replied, “The roses in the garden smell delightfully, but in your vase, they rot, just like people in conditions that don’t belong to them.”

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

People understand me so poorly that they don’t even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.

There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream to find out why they’re falling in.

If you are setting out to be joyful you are not going to end up being joyful. You’re going to find yourself turned in on yourself. It’s like a flower. You open, you blossom, really because of other people.

Much depends on your attitude. If you are filled with negative judgment and anger, then you will feel separate from other people. You will feel lonely.
