Douglas Costa

“To play at Chelsea is a dream for any player. It is standing next to some of the best players in the world and competing with the world's best as well.”

“I played a lot of years in Ukraine.”

“When I arrived at Bayern he asked me: 'How are you? Are you ready to learn how to play football?' Before, I thought the coach's job was just to set up the team. However, with Guardiola it's something different. He is addicted to football and because of that he is a phenomenon.”

“I had quite a tumultuous start to my career. I used to have two really good games but then my form would dip. I don't think people really understood me and I ended up dropping to the bench.”

“I want to win all sorts of titles and then the World Cup with the Brazilian national team.”

“You cannot compare Pep to any Brazilian coach. If you put all Brazilian coaches together, you would get Pep. One has motivational skills, another is tactically strong. But Pep has it all.”

“Neymar is the representative of the Brazil team, of what we're all about. Being in the squad alongside him is always a pleasure, and we always have more chance of being champions if he's around.”

“I've grown tactically and technically.”

“Serie A is very different from the Bundesliga or the Ukrainian league.”
