Visually, my trademarks have always been my glasses and hair.

When I used to watch the derbies on TV in the past, I could tell the atmosphere of those games was incredible. Now, being able to be part of such a great event like a Manchester derby, it's an amazing feeling.

I want to win everything we can! But it is my dream to win the Champions League in Manchester City's shirt.

I have gained Selecao recognition, eventually. I'm very proud of it, and now I want to replicate my Benfica's performance for my country.

When you live without training for a long time, you end up losing that habit. It is difficult to resume things, even if you have some time to prepare. It is difficult to acquire that rhythm again. Many injuries end up happening.

I have always had the dream to play in English football and now I'm going to make it true.

On the pitch, I try to be focused and calm and think positive. That's my attitude towards football.

I started playing in goal because I 'struggled to run as fast as the strikers and the other players out there. I was 10 years old.

Ceni was very skilful - and he made history. He played for 25 years at Sao Paulo, more than 1,200 games, and that's an inspiration. Hopefully, I can build a history like that.

In old times, not many keepers could play with their feet, but modern football requires those skills because it's changed.

We know that in the Champions League and the knockout competitions, you can't make any mistakes.

Many people look forward to my work, and I hope to live up to expectations and work at a high level.

I always learn from Julio Cesar and I learn more from watching him than from talking to him. I gain a lot of experience when I train with him.

Rogerio Ceni has always been my inspiration.

When I started to play in school, I didn't have an idol as such, I didn't really like football in my nursery days. I used to go three times a week due to my brother's influence and also because our friends used to go as well.

As a player you must be prepared for everything.

I train as if I am always playing, which makes it easier for me to be used.

Any player who wears the Brazilian national team shirt is happy.

A striker can miss three or four chances and still score the fifth.

When a goalkeeper makes a mistake, there is no one to save the goal.

I am very happy to have been called up by the national team. It's indeed another achievement in my career and I've worked a lot and very hard for this moment.

When I knew it was real, that City were really interested in me, I was very happy because it's good to see your work recognised.

As for my ambitions with City, I want to win the Premier League and the Champions League.

Most of the games are decided by a small margin. That shows the intensity and the competitiveness of the English league. Everyone knows here the competition is ferocious. It's a bit different than the Portuguese league. But I'm going to try to adapt to this league as quick as possible.
