I would be very proud if, one day, I’m held in the same esteem as George Best or Beckham. It’s what I’m working hard towards.
I want to be remembered as part of the group of the greatest players ever.

I know If I score we’re going to win the match.
I enjoy been on holidays because you can do whatever you want and people can’t say anything to you.
People that really know me, they adore me.
I know that people have different ways to see me but I’m used to it.
The last time I cry was when I won the champions. It was one of the best moments in my life.

For the people that I love, I only have one face, but for some people, we can’t show only one face.
The people I work with have a very good impression of me for sure, because of how I am.
Every time I went away I was deceiving my mum. I’d tell her I was going to school but I’d be out on the street playing football. I always had a ball on my feet.
I’m here to score a lot of goals. It’s my specialty, that’s what I’ve been brought here to do, and I want to score plenty ; like I did with Barcelona. And here, there’s every reason to think I can do it.
I am very ambitious. I want to enjoy this and then really go for it.
I like playing in Italy. It was a challenge I wanted since very early in my career.
I don’t want my fans to have the same disappointment as me when I was refused by some players to sign my notebook when I was young.
My life has always been a series of challenges and I’m psychologically-prepared but this is the biggest challenge of my life.
We lost because we didn’t win.
I have ambitions I want to fulfil, to enjoy more success with Brazil.
