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

My foot, for a football player, is very beautiful!

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.

I'm not a spiteful man, never been. I always forgive. The final decision isn't mine, but God's. God knows what He does.

I think playing against [Lionel Messi] is pretty difficult. Playing by the side of the best of the world is always good. Things get easier. And if I have to win, may it be by Messi's side. It would be great.

Individually, I always want to give the most.

[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.
