I'm a bit sad because I'm leaving my cherished team in a city where I grew up and where I played for nine years in Santos. But I'm even happier to be facing a new challenge and for making a dream come true.

I feel like any other Brazilian citizen, I have a lot of happiness in me. I thank God for showing me the path to follow.

No one can compare to Ronaldinho. I remember his plays, his dribbles. I remember him winning every title at the Camp Nou. He made history at Barca, he made history with Brazil and he's still making history.

I like boots that are comfortable. Better for fit and touch as well.

[Going to Barca] was a decision I took with my family. They helped me a lot. It's been a dream come true. I'm really happy.

I think that the Brazilian football is one of the best in the world. It still is and still struggles for this. We have talented players that can take Brazil to the top.

Individually, I always want to give the most.
