Footballers have a great opportunity to be a good example because the kids want to listen to you and be like you in many ways.

My dream was always to play for Brazil.

I am delighted to be joining a big English club. I know very well the quality that Chelsea has.

You have moments where you're down, but I can be sad for one or two hours, no more. The rest of the time, I have to be happy because the team needs me to be positive. My brain needs it. I need it.

Joy is important in life, not just football. Joy is being serious and professional, too. Joy can be reaching your potential by training hard and being disciplined. Joy can be following the rules you need to follow.

I think that the path of my career can pass through the United States. I love the style of life here.

I am most comfortable in the centre but can play on the side, also.

A World Cup would only be a true experience if I were wearing the Brazilian shirt. Otherwise, it would just be like playing for a club.

What I've learned in life is that you can't always win, especially in sport, but you can be a true champion for everything you did to get there.

I was never afraid to come back to Paris. I trust the club; I trust this country.

My priority will be my family in the years to come.

My faith gives me the belief that I can go out and perform and improve as a player. It gives me strength and inspiration.
