The Premier League has a lot of intensity, a lot of physicality.
Monaco have been very important for me. It's the club that has helped me into the Selecao.
Liverpool are known for this 'rock and roll' football. I think I've adapted well to this even if, as a player, I like to hold onto the ball longer.
It is good to have someone who can help with day-to-day life for me and for my family. This is very important.
I play with a lot of intensity, and I'm quite strong in man-marking.
I believe I am a player that can organise the game well for my team.
I have adapted well in Liverpool.
When I went to Real Madrid, I was only 18 or 19 years old. It was my first year as a professional footballer. I was very young.
Being in midfield, in general, you don't have a lot of time to think, and in the Premier League, that's even less of the case. You just don't have time to think.
I can play wherever the manager wants.
The Premier League is a league that I've always wanted to play in. The pace is high.
Sadio Mane is an excellent player. Before I came to Liverpool, I saw him on TV, and I liked him a lot.
If the fans are liking what I've been doing, and they want to create a song for me, let's get on with it!
It's a different playing style than at Monaco; there were two of us in midfield there, and here at Liverpool, there's three.
Playing for Liverpool, I know what the relationship between the fans and the club is like. With every player, you can see the desire to win, the desire to show that Liverpool are the best and deserve to win the league.
As soon as Liverpool declared their interest in signing me, it was a simple decision to make. A club with Liverpool's history wants you? Come on, you just pack your bags and go. It will be an honour to wear the famous red shirt.
It's good to have someone who speaks your language in everyday life, especially for me, who does not speak English so well.
I've got a good understanding with Tiemoue Bakayoko.
Before signing with Liverpool, I talked to Roberto Firmino about what the club is like and what the city is like. He spoke well of the club and the city and other people who have already visited the city. The information only gave me more motivation to come to Liverpool.
I haven't played a lot as a centre-back, but in those games, I feel like I did well.
