“Mbappe, he always wants to score. He also dribbles well.”
“It is impossible not to hear some of the criticism. However, no newspaper, nor journalist, is going to tell me who I am. I know who I am.”
“What I like about Scolari is his personality. He is a firm guy in his words - if you are not playing well, you'll be benched, but if you are benched and training well, then you will get your opportunity.”
“Inter made an offer for me, but then their interest went cold.”
“I'm a fan of how Zinedine Zidane ended his career, right after a World Cup.”
“Zlatan is one of the top players in the world, in big games, in any games, we know that he can score goals from anything.”
“The Brazilian press doesn't allow us to forget the World Cup in 1950, when we lost the final in a full Maracana.”
“I remember I'd be playing in the streets with friends, sometimes barefooted. I'd come home with sore feet, but wanting to do the same the day after. That passion made us keep playing. Playing in the dirt was our daily joy.”
“My mother taught me to be honest no matter what situation takes place in my life, to be honest and to stay humble.”
“I want to leave PSG one day having won the Champions League. That's my biggest dream.”
“My core definition of success is my family. They provide me with all the support I need to feel good, both in and outside of my career.”
“When you are accustomed to winning, when you are used to winning, then afterwards you tend not to have the same level of concentration. Sometimes you go into the games thinking you have already won because you are so strong.”
“It's tough for us to fight against those who have the microphone. We try and respond on the pitch, playing as well as possible, and dedicating ourselves on the training ground.”
“As a football fan I love Ibrahimovic.”
“Ibrahimovic is a very intelligent player and there are very few strikers like him in world football.”
“I must continue to work hard to help my teammates. Competition always exists in football.”
“We are professional footballers. How to cope with the pressure is one of the things we have to learn.”
“I hope I can make the decision to give up before my legs give up on me. I do not want to be embarrassing on the field and feel one day that I'm not at my best and players can beat me easily in duels.”
“If we become world champions it may open the door to the Fifa Ballon d'Or, although I think it would be difficult. Every 10 years a centre-back may win it once.”
“It's difficult to talk about the future because you never know.”
