Stevie G is the best midfielder I've played with. He was an idol for me and for everyone who watched him play, but when you were together with him, and you see him training, it was different: he was even better.

I'm going to play with one goalkeeper, obviously, one defender, one midfielder and two attackers, very offensive because we need to score goals.

When I come onto the pitch, that's when I'm able to get into that zone and forget about everything else other than just doing my job. But even then, it's not a job. It's playing football, and that's something I love.

I was really shy when I was back in Brazil, so coming to Europe was very tough. I was arriving as a kid fresh from Brazil into a big team like Inter with a lot of star names.

My confidence has been really building since my time at Espanyol.

Aine had to change her entire routine; my dad had to quit his job, which was painful because he loves to be busy. My parents eventually moved back to Brazil, so since then, it has been me and my wife, although they are always involved.

I share everything with my family; all my happiness and success is theirs.

I only ever met Ronaldinho once, at a charity event in Rio. Once every year, he stages a game and invites different players and personalities to play and raise money for his charity.

Aine plays a huge part in everything I do. We didn't study together; we didn't really have mutual friends, except for one, who had a party, and we both went to it. We met there and sat together for a long time just talking. We liked each other, and we were both trying to show that to one another, but nothing was happening.

I know the importance of the number 10. In Brazil, the one who wears 10 constructs the attacks.

Hopefully I will have a long career at Liverpool.

Football is more disputed in England than it is in Italy. Every match is a very hard match because the referee doesn't blow his whistle as much as in Italy, and every team plays against each other like it is a final.

Responsibility has to be shared between all the players. It's more about doing your job and working hard. I try not to focus on me. My focus is on the team. I just work hard to try and improve.

I have always tried and always believed in myself, so I went after it, to do my best, to achieve my dream, and I always thought I'd achieve my dream. And I always, always wanted to be a football player.

I love to play football, and when I come on the pitch, I want to do my best to help the team. It's up to the coach the position I play.

I am coming here to learn and contribute with my style of football. The most important thing for me in my time here is to win titles. My dream in this shirt is to make the fans happy, win trophies for them, and enjoy playing in the Barca colours.

I work hard on the precision of my long shots, but you can't plan it in games. Sometimes it all just opens up for you to give it a try.

Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world... so far, nothing has come to me, because if anything comes, it comes to my manager.

Iniesta is a true football genius, and we should all give thanks not only for what he has done but what he's continuing to do.

Wijnaldum always tries to do some jokes inside the dressing room. He's always winding people up. He always tries to speak in Portuguese or Spanish with us and dancing.
