Ronaldinho

“I have never imagined doing anything other than football, but now, thinking about it coldly, if I hadn't been a footballer, I would have been a musician.”

“I grew up in a house that was always happy, and my family was always music, music. I started playing percussion very young, because I had some uncles who were musicians and all my aunts were singers.”

“The toughest opponents for me are the defenders who are tough in the way they play - where you can't see a way through.”

“When I got to the senior national team, there was another Ronaldo, so they started calling me Ronaldinho because I was younger.”

“Football is about joy. It's about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.”

“I am what I am thanks to my mother, my father, my brother, my sister... because they have given me everything. The education I have is thanks to them.”

“Paolo Maldini and John Terry are two of the toughest men I have met on the field.”
