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

[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.

I used to dream about the future like each and every one of you Chase your dreams. Believe. You are the future.

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.
