I think that France, Germany, Spain, Holland and England will join Brazil in the semi-finals.

Another reason why I am always close to the people, because the communication is very important. When I stopped to play soccer I continued to... I continued to work with UNICEF. I did a lot of work with UNESCO. We did a lot of charity programme and games.

When football stars disappear, so do the teams, and that is a very curious phenomenon. It is like in the theatre, in a play, where there is a great star. If the star is not well, the whole cast suffers.

Everything is practice.

I represent Brazil all over the world. Wherever I go I have to do my best, to not disappoint the Brazilian people. And that I've done.

When you control the ball you control the score

Everything on earth is a game. A passing thing. We all end up dead. We all end up the same, don't we?
