When I got to the senior national team, there was another Ronaldo, so they started calling me Ronaldinho because I was younger.

Paolo Maldini and John Terry are two of the toughest men I have met on the field.

Football is about joy. It's about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.

I had the chance to play for a lot of different teams in the Premier League, but I think all the choices I made were the right ones. I could name a lot - with Gremio, PSG, Barcelona, Milan, Flemengo Mineiro. I was lucky enough to score a few goals, and they were all beautiful.

If you're playing for five hours you don't want to score goals all the time and I loved dribbling. I could score a goal, but I preferred to dribble.

I think each player has an individual style. Each is concerned with giving the best to his team, and I think my best talent is dribbling and setting up goal situations, giving an assist or deceiving one of the other team's players.

God gives gifts to everyone, some can write, some can dance. He gave me the skill to play football and I am making the most of it.
