Cristiano Ronaldo has created his own story, and now I'm creating mine.

Right now I'm living my boyhood dream, which was to play for a European club. The fact that it's a huge club like Barcelona makes it a tremendous honour. I like everything about the city: the climate, the people. It's quite similar to Brazil, which helps a lot. There's even a beach!

Messi is a great player. Playing against him is not good - it is bad.

I've always had the greatest respect for and listened to both my father and my mother. I've always tried to follow my parents' advice because these are people who want the best for me.

I just like playing with the ball. I always have.

Romario had the best first touch and the best pass to score a goal.

The only thing that can protect me from someone coming from behind are the rules.

I can't be compared to Pele. I need to do so much more to be compared to Pele. Pele is fantastic. And he's unique.

I try to be myself without being anything different.

My father has been by my side since I was little. He takes care of things, my finances and my family.

One that I like and I think could play here is Coutinho. He has the style of Barcelona.

Every team has a person who is used as a reference, a player who stands out more than others.

Every team going to Brazil 2014 will be there to win, and it's going to be a fiercely contested World Cup.

I never like to say that I'm better than anybody else.

I always do as my heart tells me.

I don't like to talk about myself.

When we lose, we don't have to change everything but correct things by working hard.

It doesn't matter who scores the goals, just that we win the games.

I'm always learning. I have to.

I'm only one Neymar - for my family, for the public. I'm always the same person.

I can't protect myself when I'm not facing the play.

I'm always happy, in every game, every win I keep writing my history, and I hope to do even more from now on.

I started playing football in a school back in Sao Vicente when I was five years old, going towards six. Those were my first steps, among those kids, and then I kept going.

Messi has the best technique in the world.

It was a huge thrill to win the Confederations Cup.

Benzema is a great striker who I think is a superstar.

You need a lot of comfort and nothing to be on your weight to play as you wish.

I do not like to put one title above the other. Every competition I contest and win is important.

I have always kept in mind the advice of Ronaldinho, and he spoke wonders of Barcelona and the city, which he told me is marvellous.

The first game is always the most difficult, for the nerves you have before you begin to play.

I don't know how many great Brazilians have played in the Olympics and not been able to win it.

I always make my decisions together with my family, my father. Of course, I hear the advice of everyone who wishes me well, but the final decision is always mine, with my family.

It is easier when you like to work with your companions.

I don't feel hatred for Zuniga.

A historic defeat cannot bow our heads forever.

When we're on vacation - it doesn't matter where - I will go and look for a game.

Everything in my life has happened very early, personally and professionally.

I'm 69 kilos; I don't have a burden on my back.

To play with the best is very easy.

I was never motivated by money.

I must follow my heart.

I was at a great club at Barcelona. I loved Barcelona.

I've learned my tricks watching videos on the Internet with friends. I'm always trying to copy what I've seen at home, what I learned from my friends. But you have to repeat it again and again to get it right on the field.

When I'm on the field, the trick I like to do most are stepovers. For me, it's a simple, beautiful dribble that also has a point.

The fact I am the most expensive player is not a burden.

Football without Messi and Messi without football are not things that go together.

Whoever likes football always likes to see the best player on the pitch.

When you see a person you love being affected, suffering, people saying things that aren't true... then it hurts you.

Before speaking without knowledge, saying lies, you have to present evidence.

I'm not scared. I always go forward, trying to create space and make my way toward the goal.
