I was at Barcelona for many years where I won a lot of things and achieved a lot of dreams. For these reasons it holds a special place in my life.

A lot of the moves I make originate from futsal. It's played in a very small space, and the ball control is different in futsal. And to this day my ball control is pretty similar to a futsal player's control.

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.

No one has nicer teeth than me. Why would anyone laugh at my lovely teeth?

I still have a video of my father, which I watch before every game I play for Brazil. It gives me strength, makes me determined.

I am ugly but what I do have is charm.

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.
