I was never motivated by money. I think above all else about the happiness of my family, regardless of money.

[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 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 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.

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.

My greatest idol– I’'ve always told everyone – was Robinho as he was from Santos and I was always following him, so I'’m a great fan. Among others, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Kaká. Many of them.

Suarez did fit in the style of the team quickly. I think his arrival was practically perfect. And us 3 fit in a fantastic way. We used to understand each other even without having so much of playing time together. I think we were missing the icing on the cake, and it was [ Luis Alberto] Suarez.
