You think about past World Cups - in 2006, it was a fantastic Brazil team, but we did not do so well that year. In 2010, the same: it did not go far, either - only the quarter-finals. But in '94 and 2002, Brazil did not play the best football but won the World Cup; they found a way to win.

The Premier League is considered the best league in the world.

Getting to the World Cup is a big dream for me.

Since I was 13 years old, I made sure I was going to training every day.

I moved cities when I was 17, and I moved countries when I was 20. Every time, I put football at the forefront and, if you do that, you don't have such a hard time settling in.

Some of my friends wanted to do different things, but all I ever wanted to do was play outside with a ball.

Manaus has got nothing in relation to Brazilian football history.

We all know the Premier League is a competitive league and that every game is competitive.

I watched Romario when I was young, and he was one of my idols.

In the end, we parted ways in good terms, and Shakhtar had a nice sending-off for me. I wish them well, and I am sure they feel the same.

Shakhtar specifically are proud when traditional clubs from Europe come knocking, and I knew it would be quite hard to convince them to let me join City. Listen, I am absolutely thankful for the opportunity they gave me, but I also think I worked my socks off for that club, and it was time to look after my career.

No matter how great a squad is, a competition like the Champions League is not easily won.

Pep and his staff work very hard, not just on the training pitch but also with the analysis of opponents, and now, of course, we understand more how he wants to play.

Pep has made me understand the game more: not just how I play but also how the team has to play, because I am just a component.

In football, contact is normal, especially in England.

I have heard what has been said, but most of the time, I recover the ball without making a foul.

Would I have preferred not to play in a home World Cup for Brazil, a privilege that most people in this world can only dream of? Not a chance.

If you play bad, you can win the games, but you have to play good and get the three points.

Whoever wants to be champions has to be able to attack and defend.

Playing for a huge club in a huge League makes me so happy.

Playing in the Premier League for City is like a dream.

In the Premier League, the most important thing is not to give the team at the top of the table reasons to keep winning game after game.

Wembley is special.

When you win a title, you gain confidence, and the supporters love you because they want to win things as well.
