My game is based on improvisation. Often a forward does not have the time to think too much. You have a second, rarely more, to decide whether to dribble, shoot or pass to the right or left. It is instinct that gives the orders.

The best players are always in the thick of the action. (Michael) Jordan did it with the Bulls, (Kobe) Bryant does it with the Lakers and Leo does it here. We want him to stay with us because he's the best and we wouldn't swap him for anyone.

I have never imagined doing anything other than football, but now, thinking about it coldly, if I hadn't been a footballer, I would have been a musician.

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.

I am passionate about music - and people think because I go to places where I can enjoy music I have to be partying. It isn't true.

Brazil goes into every World Cup expecting to win - so when it is in Brazil it is expected even more. You can't understand what the World Cup means to our country.

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