I learned all about life with a ball at my feet

I learned all about life with a ball at my feet

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

The toughest opponents for me are the defenders who are tough in the way they play - where you can't see a way through.

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.

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

I would like my Dad to be alive so he could see what I am.
