Eventually, the truth comes out in sport and in life. When you win, you're praised, and when you lose, you're criticized. That's normal.

The best league in the world is the Premier League, so I am so happy to be here playing with and against big players.

When you live through new experiences and new situations in your life, that's when you grow.

I always love football, but of course it's good when you win and the team is doing well.

Winning the Premier League is never easy. Whether you're at home or away, the games are always tough.

The collective comes before the individual.

I love London. I love the variety, the entertainment, the restaurants and concerts. It's different from what we have in South America.

I've been to Madame Tussaud's. Three times.

Every coach has his own philosophy.

I want to play football, and I want to help the team. It doesn't matter if I play midfield, if I play in defence, if I play as a striker.

Mano Menezes is a fantastic coach, but Scolari is a fantastic coach, too, as well as being more experienced.

I've always said my shoulders are broad, and I can take on that extra responsibility. I love it. I want it. I prefer to take it on myself to help the other guys, who can then go out and play with their heads clear and calm.

You have moments where you're down, but I can be sad for one or two hours, no more. The rest of the time, I have to be happy because the team needs me to be positive. My brain needs it. I need it.

If I was playing for a club in mid-table, I could make three or four mistakes, and no one would notice because the analysis is not at the top level. But when you play for a big club, every little mistake is highlighted. So every day, you work, work, work.

I was never afraid to come back to Paris. I trust the club; I trust this country.

Scolari is a fantastic coach, a fantastic man, and he is so transparent.

I don't speak about the future.

Other players can be leaders on the pitch, but not all players can understand another player, so I try to. You need to understand the heart of another player. I try to read other people, to figure out how I can joke with this guy, how I can help him or touch his heart.

I know what is important. When I go to the pitch, I cannot laugh; I respect the other players. I try my best and put my passion inside the game.

I like to have fun, but there are moments you need to show yourself, and that, for me, is on the pitch.

I think it was genetic: my legs were born like this.

It's never easy to lose the games and then come back stronger.

Many, many of the teams respect Chelsea. Chelsea is a big club. It doesn't matter the position of the table: the respect is always there.

I have played in big clubs for many, many years. When you win, it is good, but when you lose, nobody is going to be happy, and the pressure is going to be there.

I think we have to be positive and think about what we can do now because the past is the past - we cannot change it.

It is never good to concede a goal; it is part of our job not to concede, just as it is part of our job to score.

Everybody knows the Premier League is so difficult, we have to think step by step.

Frankly, I loved playing there. The Americans are incomparable for the sport's business, and they're beginning to truly love football.

I think that the path of my career can pass through the United States. I love the style of life here.

My priority will be my family in the years to come.

I know I look crazy, but I am not!

Yes, my father is bald, but I found a way to save my hair. I met with a doctor in Brazil who has developed a special treatment.

I know what it means to play for a big club. Big clubs, it's like that: if you win, everything is good. If you lose, it's your fault, especially defenders and goalkeepers.

Strikers never lose games... we have to be honest and say that.

It's never easy to play against City.

My future is about God.

It is football. We need to be men, and it's not always possible to win.

I'm always happy to do my best to help the coach and the club.

I forgive everyone in my life.

I want just to show people good things - football is beautiful when you play games like that.

I'm working hard since the beginning of my career.

I think I tried to improve as a person, as a brother, as a son, as a friend every day.

Sometimes when the strikers don't score, the pressure starts on them. They love to score goals.

I had the opportunity to play in many fantastic squads. I won with great teams but also lost with great teams.

I am delighted to be joining a big English club. I know very well the quality that Chelsea has.

I'm a lucky guy because I always play for a big club, and big clubs always try to win titles, and I love that.

If you're not happy doing something, you have to change.

As long as I am on the field, I am happy.

I am most comfortable in the centre but can play on the side, also.

The best league in the world is the Premier League, so I am so happy to be here playing with and against big players.
