I dreamt of being like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho Gaucho.

It was a huge thrill, to step on a pitch of a championship like the World Cup, is a sensation that... You know, passes everything in your head.

I have both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as my idols. If I can take a little of each player's game and make it my own, I would be very happy.

I want to help the Brazilian National Team the best way possible, whether is with goals, assists or even a slide tackle, whatever.

I think I respect everyone votes and everyone must respect my votes. My vote bdo in 2015 was for [Lionel] Messi because, for me, he had an amazing season and he deserved to win.

I have never been concerned about winning the Ballon d'Or or being the best player in the world. The best player is already here and that's Messi. And now I can see him from close up and help him.

It is good to be Compared with the best player [Pele]. But my dad told me about Garrincha's style as he moved forward, went up, attacked and dribbled. Garrincha's style is more similar to Neymar's.
