Football is the only sport where you put people together, it doesn't matter if you are rich, or poor, or black, or white. It is one nation. This is the beauty of football.

I think I've always had the shots. But in the past, I've suffered too many mental lapses. Now, I'm starting to get away from that and my mental discipline and commitment to the game are much better. I think I'm really taking a good look at the big picture. That's the difference between being around for the final or watching the final from my sofa at home.

Brazil eats, sleeps and drinks football. It lives football!

The World Cup is a very complicated tournament - six games, seven if you make it to the final - and maybe if you lose one game you're out, even if you're the best.

The level of football in England is the top. English football is the leader in the world.

Success isn't determined by how many times you win, but by how you play the week after you lose.

I played futsal growing up in Baurd. In futsal you need to think quick and play quick so its easier for you when you move to normal football.
