“I am crazy about football.”
“When I was younger, I could never have imagined that me at 24 would have already won a league in Portugal, a league in France, a league in England, and playing for the national team.”
“I am happy because I am helping the team and happy because I am playing well.”
“I was a Benfica fan; I had played there for 12 years.”
“When you are stronger, it helps. But ever since I have played football, I have been one of the smallest ones, and you have to try to compensate with other things because if you are faster or stronger, it helps you.”
“All coaches have different ways of working.”
“The intensity in the Premier League is a bit higher than most of the other leagues.”
“It's an honour to extend my deal with Manchester City. This club offers everything a player needs to fulfil their ambitions, and there's nowhere else I want to be.”
“When you are in the second position and you want to be champions, you are always under pressure.”
“I was champion for Monaco and had planned a five-day vacation with my friends in Palma de Mallorca. On the second day, I get a phone call from Jorge Mendes with the news of the Manchester City proposal.”
“As soon as I heard City wanted me to stay longer, my mind was made up. I love the club, the manager, the players, and the fans.”
“The British people in the north are very friendly and treat me well on the streets. They have great respect and don't bother me.”
“To be honest, I'm now at one of the best teams in the world. To be part of this club and to have this opportunity is great. I'm very happy to be part of Manchester City's team, and I look forward to trying to do my best to help the team reach their goals.”
“You cannot say no to a club like Man City. I did not think twice.”
“Obviously, when you win and keep winning, it's easier to maintain this atmosphere, but the atmosphere in the Man City dressing room is amazing.”
“I am like all Portuguese people in that I admire Mourinho a lot.”
“It is so boring when you have seven days without a game.”
“I've always tried to play for the team, not just for myself but for the whole team.”
“It is good to have lots of games, as it means we are fighting for everything.”
“When I was five, 10, 15 years old, I always dreamed of being in the best league in the world, playing with some of the best clubs.”
