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.

The secret is to believe in your dreams; in your potential that you can be like your star, keep searching, keep believing and don’t lose faith in yourself.

It is very simple, Messi is the best in the world, and if you give him a little bit of space, he can do whatever he wants.

I hope to continue my work, winning championships with my club. The acknowledgement comes naturally for those who deserve it.

Everyone has a right to rest so as not to injure themselves.

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's a dream of any player to win the bdo. I came really close to it and I'm very proud of my work, for being one of the 3 bests in the world, for the people who are working with me and that are helping me and supporting me. I hope someday I can win it.
