The language of football is universal. You don't need to speak the local lingo in order to be able to communicate with a ball.
In football, you know anything can happen and that everything can change from minute to minute.
I play football like I dance.
I came to Manchester City because I see them growing and getting bigger. Can they be as big as Real Madrid? Yes, I hope so.
I am enjoying playing English football. It is very beautiful. With every game I play, I feel more comfortable.
Real are the best club in the world. Any footballer dreams about playing there, and I am no different.
Football is all about having fun.
I want to stay at Real Madrid for a long time.
I dream of playing in the English league.
I've played three seasons at Real Madrid; I've given my all. I've scored goals, I've won two leagues, and that's not easy.
My dream is Chelsea. They are great, and my objective is to play there.
Kaka is fantastic and has so much ability. He is strong, intelligent, and fast.
I hope to make history at the club and become one of the great heroes of Manchester City.
I used the bus when I was growing up in Brazil. I don't want to diminish anyone who travels on the bus, but I haven't done that for a long time.
In Spain, they go to the stadium and treat it like going to the theatre. In England, they go to support their team, to scream and shout, and do everything they can. I love that.
When you leave Real Madrid - a famous club worldwide - it's normal to get criticism.
I have played for the national team many times, so I am used to good things - and bad things - being said about me.
You can only be content with winning.
The Premier League is very strong, physical football, and I am not a strong player.
It's not easy to say no to a club like Barcelona. They are European champions, they're in a lovely city, and I like Spain a lot.
I have always wanted to play at clubs like Barcelona. It's a great club. Any player would be happy for them to show an interest.
Of course I would like to play for Barcelona. Who wouldn't?
It is an honour that a coach like Guardiola speaks highly of me, for him to rate me as highly as I have read that he does. I genuinely appreciate it - from the bottom of my heart.
I am very happy at Manchester City, and I intend to continue playing here for a long time.
I want to be champion.
It is terrible to be injured; you want to return to playing football.
At City, when I was playing, I knew that at some point, the substitution board would go up, and I was going to come off because the manager didn't have trust in me. Then, you start to lose your confidence on the pitch.
I had one-and-a-half years of joy in Manchester, despite the city being a lot colder than Madrid!
From the day I arrived, I could see City's project was destined to be a success and the club would grow - but I didn't think it would be quite so fast.
Milan, I was surrounded by great players; it wasn't the same at City.
Guangzhou Evergrande is a very unique club.
It is a big challenge for me to come to the Chinese Super League.
I am Brazilian, and I can't offer my best performance if I'm not happy in every aspect of life.
I am a special footballer, and I need to be happy when I'm playing.
Manchester is a sensational venue for football but an awful place to live... the winter, the cold and the dark nights. It's very hard for a young Brazilian.
The Premier League is one of the best in the world, without a doubt. The stadiums are always full, and the atmosphere is incredible, but not every footballer is able to play in England. The character can be difficult for a foreigner.
I always get lucky against Chile.
I feel really sorry for the way I left Madrid, but the fans don't always understand what happens in these cases.
Since I've been in Manchester, people recognise me all the time in the city. And they have been very kind to me.
I was a young player at Real, but working with players like Zidane and Beckham every day taught me such a lot: how you win and lose as a team and how you must respect your team-mates.
Deco is a very skillful player. He thinks very fast on the pitch.
I don't regret the decision to leave Madrid, only the way that I left, which wasn't the best.
United are a club known all around the world. No matter where you grow up, if you love football, then you'll know about Manchester United.
I saw United matches on TV as a kid in Sao Paulo. I loved watching Ruud van Nistelrooy. He was a hero for me because of the way he scored goals in all competitions.
When I signed for Real Madrid, it was like a dream.
I want to be king of Manchester City.
I want to win the Scudetto.
