“[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 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.

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 make bad decisions frequently. They’re fun.

Test ideas in the marketplace. You learn from hearing a range of perspectives. Consultation helps engender the support decisions need to be successfully implemented.

We need the right attitude and the right motivation – that can decide the match above everything else.

Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it’s possible for you.

It’s up to the coach to decide who is in the best shape to play each match.

To not move around, observe, and analyze, in order to make the best decisions possible, was to fail as a leader and fail the team.

A leader must lead but also be ready to follow. Sometimes, another member of the team—perhaps a subordinate or direct report—might be in a better position to develop a plan, make a decision, or lead through a specific situation.

You can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.
