I am evangelical and believe much in God.

Neymar will leave Barca fans speechless. He could become an even better player than he was during the Confederations Cup with Brazil. He'll easily adapt to the style of the team and will be very happy there.

I have decided that I want one or two seasons in England before the end of my career, and I want it to be at Liverpool.

Everything is harder when you are a Nordestino. You have to work harder than anybody else because people will be judging you with much less mercy than the other players.

Football is a game, and people have to be cunning.

Sometimes, a player and a coach can have a different opinion. In the end, the best interest of the end, the best interest of the club has to be kept in mind.

Ronaldo is a top player, not only for his goals but also for his personality, as he hates to lose.

There was an offer from Tottenham when I was leaving Spain to go to Milan, and at the time, I chose to go to Milan because of their history and tradition in the world of football.

I know Tottenham are not among the biggest clubs in England, but they are considered a very good club to play for, a nice place to play.

Coutinho is a great player, and I am sure he will stay at Barca for a long time.

Paul Pogba is a very good player.

Players that have had less minutes on the pitch compared to the usual starting XI will naturally concede more chances.

Neymar is the most important player in our national team. His absence is felt when he doesn't play. Same holds true for Barcelona. Such is his impact.

Playing in Barca is impressive: they're in the Champions League; everyone talks about this team. You will not find another club like it in the world.

Brazil needs a player like Neymar at his best on the pitch because Neymar on the pitch gives more confidence to the other players.

It's a bad feeling, losing a World Cup.

It's in the knockout games that you discover who the great players really are.

For Brazil, the World Cup really starts in the knockout rounds.

It's not easy to win a Cup. Brazil spent a long time, over 20 years, before winning it, so it's not easy. The Cup is hard: it's each 4 years.

I'm very satisfied with everything I have done with both Barcelona and Brazil.

If you ask me if I would like to see Isco in Barcelona, I would say yes.

Zidane is a very great player, a very calm player.

Things tend to get easier for Barcelona with Lionel Messi on the pitch.

Ronaldo? He is the most dangerous player at Real. It is hard to stop him, like Messi, because both score a lot of goals, and you never know what is going to be the next thing they will invent for scoring.

I would like to play with Messi; it would be amazing. He is the best of the world, the one who makes more differences.

A man without a family has nothing from life. I need my family in order to enjoy life when things are going well. And when things are not going well, they give me support.

I'm a quiet, shy person and not someone who likes the limelight.

I take part in every training session, morning and afternoon, to make sure I'm fit enough.

Sometimes you'll get a player who's marking you tightly, and he'll even apologise and say, 'My coach told me to stick close to you and mark you. I know you're a great player.' But I tell him it's fine and to do what he has to do.

I advise everyone with plans to visit Brazil for the Olympics in Rio - to stay home. You'll be putting your life at risk here. This is without even speaking about the state of public hospitals and all the Brazilian political mess.

Eden Hazard would be a perfect signing for Real Madrid, not only for his talents as a player but also as a leader.

My father never left my side; on the street, on the beach, he was always with me. He helped me on the road to becoming a professional, and now I play just for him.

Louis Van Gaal is a great coach. He has inspired a lot of players to give their best, shown them how to play.

In soccer, you have to be sly.

When Brazil lose, someone has to be guilty, and it's always Rivaldo. It's different with Romario. He plays in Brazil, and they love him more. I'm treated like a foreign player.

When I was playing in Santa Cruz or Mogi Mirim, they told me I was not the best. Nobody believed in me. The others would always be the top stars. But I did not let that get me down.

It's impossible to describe Messi. I like him so much, and I always say I feel so sad because he never won the World Cup with Argentina. It is an award he deserves because a world-class player like him must be a world champion.

Barcelona players know how to summon up Messi into the game, letting him rest in periods of the match and then using his services at vital moments when he shows up in the middle of the pitch to create his magical plays.

I've played lots of games carrying an injury, but people don't value what I do for Barcelona.

I will never forget the hunger I used to feel.

The pressure in Brazil is a little complicated, a little menacing.

I don't have many dreams to fulfil because I've won almost everything, but I was born a winner and want to achieve things with Olympiakos.

I will be busy playing, getting in shape, and learning English, and being in a smaller town will help me do that. And I want the challenge of trying to get Bolton into Europe for the first time in their history.

It gives me great pleasure to see my name linked with clubs like Manchester United and Milan.

When you get onto the ball, people think three or four times before deciding whether to try and tackle you. Your opponents respect you, and your markers give you a couple of metres of space.

If I could choose anywhere in Brazil, the club I'd play for is Palmeiras.

I'm proud to have played 14 matches at the World Cup with the number ten shirt and to have scored eight goals.

Winning the Olympic gold was amazing.

I don't want to rely on what people say about me to feel good; playing's what I really enjoy.

In football, the stronger team is the one which wins.
