For me, the team always comes first, and without the help of my colleagues, I am nothing.
When you come from younger teams, and you reach the main squad, there are always difficulties you have to deal with, like the intensity, the maturity, and the experience of the players.
When I was nine years old, my father went to Spain to work for three years, and I was in Portugal. He has a sports store. I only saw him once a month, which was difficult. I was alone with my mother and my sister, who is younger than me.
I'm still a fanatical fan of Porto, and I always will be, but a footballer's career is short, and I have to make the most of all the opportunities that I get.
Porto is my team since I was a young boy. I was in the stands for all the matches. I was too young to go to the Champions League final in 2004, but I celebrated afterwards. I watch all their games when I can. At some point in my career, I want to go back.
It is good to have aspirations, but we have to be real.
My family have done a lot of sacrifices to put me where I want to be. Everything I do is for them.
Becoming a father is incredible. There is no explanation for the feeling.
Obviously the Champions League is the top of football, where everyone wants to play.
