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.

It was lovely to receive the affection from some of the supporters of our biggest rival, ... It doesn't happen to you very often in your career.
