I just want to be better every day, to get better every day, not to be better than anyone else.

In the Premier League, you never know who is going to win or who will be champions. It is always a surprise.

I never run away from the responsibility. I'm used to it.

I don't want to surpass anyone. I don't want to be better than anyone else.

I want to trace my own path by doing the things I have been doing, winning titles, reaching goals.

I always dribble for a reason, and I always head for the goal.

My father always told me I like the ball more than I like playing soccer: since I was a young kid, I was always skilled with it, dribbling furniture around the house. That's how I see football - fun and dynamic - and this goes beyond me; it's a characteristic of Brazilian football.

Unfortunately, I never saw Pele play. What I know of him is through my grandfather, my dad's dad, who used to talk to me and tell me about how he played.

It is difficult to take in that your idols are in the same place as you are.
