I was always comfortable with the ball at my feet, and this helps me during games. I think it's a natural talent.
It's something I've been working on since I started out at Sao Paulo, and over time I've tried to improve my skills. But even when I played in the local academy, I was trying to show off some ability with my feet. I actually scored several free-kicks.
I'm good at penalties, either using power or technique when I'm shooting.
I'd like to score.
Despite football being my job, it's also good fun and it's a way that children enjoy themselves.
I'm a happy person.
There are a lot of people that might not like tattoos; I respect it. For me, it's my passion, so the same way I respect their view, I'd like everyone to respect my passion for tattoos.
At Benfica, I started playing because the starting goalkeeper got injured.
My team-mates always offer me lots of lines to pass, so that ends up being easier for my role.
We will only celebrate when we are champions and not before.
I always train as a goalkeeper. I never train outside the goal.
There is always room for improvement.
I am working on my English skills that will help me on the pitch. Communication between each other makes our job much easier.
Guardiola is one of the best managers in the world.
I'm a player that usually focus on my team, try to give the best for my team-mates, and I don't look much at what the other teams do.
Representing the Selecao is a very great expectation, being able to play is even greater.
I train a lot with the ball.
I might have made mistakes because of my way of playing but mistakes are part of football. I never let that influence my game.
As for my ambitions with City, I want to win the Premier League and the Champions League.
When I knew it was real, that City were really interested in me, I was very happy because it's good to see your work recognised.
