“Give up? I don’t know what that means.”

When I was smaller, I always looked up to Zidane, Messi, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo.

Greatness, it’s all in the details.

I do not live for people, for what they think, for them to say that I’m nice, good, the best, perfect. Everyone has their opinion. And I respect that.

Playing against an Italian team is harder than all the other leagues. The Italians won’t score lots of goals, but they won’t concede many, either.

I try to not take myself too seriously and just have fun when I’m not playing.

My deepest respect to the clubs who considered having me.

It doesn’t matter if it’s rain or sweat, we got work to do!

I wanted to show the world, to show United that I was ready to play and I was motivated to play. This comeback just showed that I left United, but the power of my heart was still here, to be honest.

I’m someone who says what he thinks.

When you lose someone you love, you don’t think the same way. And that’s why I say I enjoy life: because it goes very fast.

It’s always good to play with big players, you know.

I only think about the pitch. I want to do great. I want to be one of the best. I want to win titles. I want to achieve things.

Sport might not be the answer. But it is a symbol of optimism and hope.

Because I’m fairly big, I like to use my body. So I’ll control the ball, even when there’s a player on me, and then I’ll pass.

When you say the word ‘Neymar’ around the world, everyone knows who he is and what he does.

I really loved football from a young age. And my only thought, my only objective in life, was to be a professional footballer.

It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences.

If there are nine rabbits on the ground and you want to catch one, just focus on one.

I’d rather live my life knowing that I’m not perfect than spend my whole life pretending to be.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today’s mighty oak is yesterday’s nut that held its ground.

If you salute your work, You do not have to salute anybody. If you pollute your work,You have to salute everybody.

Nothing is hidden under the sun.
