The four big names that we had in the frontline were all on a very high level: Ronaldinho, Kaka, Ronaldo and Adriano
There’s so much money being spent by the clubs that you don't even think twice if you have a chance to move over there
I’d say the league in Spain is like a better version of the league in Brazil
In the beginning it was very difficult because Pele is incomparable – there’s no way you can compare yourself to someone who hit 1,000 goals
When you put all this together, why would I have moved to Barcelona?
I just couldn’t be happy with the role of second-half substitute, being forced to play out of position and mark the full-back
I didn’t understand it, but from the little I could work out, I could tell he wasn’t saying nice things
We had a great side, with Thiago Silva, Clarence Seedorf, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Filippo Inzaghi and Alexandre Pato
I had used it all my life before I became a footballer, so why wouldn’t I use it in a city that had welcomed me so warmly?
The best and most organised league is the Premier League, but I think the one I enjoyed playing in most was La Liga
