“My father has been by my side since I was little. He takes care of things, my finances and my family.”

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 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.

If I wasn’t winning you wouldn’t care.

It’s hard to care when no one loves you.

Women have a natural tendency to want to nurture and take care of men.

No one will take better care of your dream than you.

I was not, I was, I am not, I care not.

I don’t really care about how good a song is, I only want them to reflect what I felt when I was writing them.

Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.

You don’t have to have much to show how much you care.
