QUOTES BY Rivaldo

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.
