“Talking about Pep is hard, he is just a genius. He tries to change things when we need to and it works. He is something else.”

“I am trying to do everything that Ribery did for Bayern because he is a guy I like so much. He is my friend, who gives me lots of advice.”

“Chelsea are one of the great teams in Europe and Mourinho is one of the best coaches in the world.”

“The pressure to win is always there, especially with the Brazilian team.”

“Munich is a great city and everybody is treating me very well.”

“I arrived at Shakhtar aged 19 and he taught me a lot. I am very grateful.”

“I'm someone with a very strong personality, I'm quite introverted.”

“I think all children like futsal. Making quick decisions, moving fast when you're in difficulties on the pitch; it teaches you a lot. I'm passionate about this sport.”

“I can operate on both flanks.”

“I'm not going to change my style of play because it might bother some people. That is just the way we Brazilians are.”

“This is in the plan which I have for my career and my life, to one day win the Champions League and the World Cup.”

“My favourite superhero is The Flash!”

“Pep has the magic touch. He breathes football.”

“I feel like a different, more outgoing person once I take the field.”

“I think England is one of the biggest soccer leagues in the world - fantastic! Just like Spain's LaLiga also, with big players, big teams.”

“Players like Ronaldinho and Neymar started in futsal schools. Denilson loved playing too, looking for things to take onto the soccer pitch.”

“You often see him Ronaldo topless and his physique is awesome. It drives everyone on and we all want to have a body like his.”

“I've done a good job at Bayern, with Guardiola, and I have evolved a lot tactically.”

“It's clear that I'm a winger. I've now defined that as my position.”

“Problems with Ancelotti? No, he's a good person.”
