I do what I need to do to stay fit. I train well. I eat well. I drink water and hydration drinks.
I work a lot in the gym on injury prevention.
I like playing more than training so I try to be fit to play.
I defend like a man who likes to work too because I know that football is not just about what you do on the ball.
Porto is a club which offers maximum stability to help me show my best level.
I do not like to talk about luck.
If I'm on the field I will give my best to help the team.
Ronaldo and Messi, those are the two best players in the world.
I think that Cristiano is a very complete player in all aspects, Messi is too but these two players, they differ from another. I would prefer Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is a leader. A complete player. Good in the air, good with his feet.
To win is my mentality.
We try to give everything in all the games, but we know it's not always possible.
It's true I was interested in going to Everton, but I didn't accept the offer.
Yes, it's true, I absolutely hate losing. A lot. Not only football. It's in me, in my blood and I don't ever want to lose.
We need to compete to be better and better every day.
Football is like my family: everything. It's my dream, what I have always wanted to do and without football I'm not happy.
I don't think of anything else, only playing football.
What I keep trying in my mind is to work hard in the week to be better for the game.
I joke every day, pranks, sometimes.
In football we need to be intelligent because sometimes you can have a lot of things but you need to know when to pass or stay with the ball, when you go to the counter-attack.
