Religion is an important part of life and culture in Brazil, very important to us as Brazilians.

All Brazilian players have this dream. I have, like everybody, the dream to play in Europe and the Premier League.

It's always easier to play with players who are not only great but also intelligent.

I love Chelsea and I want to stay here for a long time.

I think the Brazilian people are very fond of Neymar for the fact that he stayed at Santos for so long and stayed in Brazil. That's very cool for him.

4-3-3 is better for me because I can score more goals, and also create more and tackle in midfield which I like to do to help the team.

It's been a very successful time for me here at Chelsea.

The Premier League is always difficult - Champions League or not.

They have different styles. Scolari is used to coaching national teams and Mourinho clubs. Both are very successful. They are professionals as well as winners.

To win an Olympic gold would be very special for me.

I am confident in my ability.

Everyone has got to figure out the things he wants most. And I believe coming to China is the best choice for me.

Didier talks to all of us. Not just with me, but with all the attacking players. He has scored so many goals for Chelsea. But now he pushes the younger players. He is fantastic. A fantastic player, and a fantastic person.

Whatever decision I make, somebody will talk good or bad about it, you know?

I can't stop, I always have to try and keep a good pace and that's what I'll do.

I understand the importance of this number to Chelsea. In Brazil, it is the number 10, but here the 11 is a very important number and I just hope that I can do it justice.

A lot of people told me not to come to the Premier League because of the physical demands, especially if I came straight from Brazil to England. But it's not been like that.

I am one of the pioneers, along with those players who went before me, and I'm coming to China to help the league and help more players get to know this league.

In Brazil, young boys dream of playing in the Champions League and I'm very proud to have realized my dream.

I arrived at the age of 19, 20 and remained five years at Chelsea.

I have changed my behaviour on the pitch in England. Here referees talk to the players all the time. I think it is nice.

It's not my style of play to mark players and stop them, or be threatening. But I am learning that at Chelsea.

As a player, I'm a combination of my father and my uncle. People back home say that they were such good players and that I remind them of them both.

Sometimes it can be more difficult to play in Europe, as you are playing against the very best players, but I like the big games.

Although I was only 25 years old, I had been at Chelsea for five years. So, I was there long enough.

The transfer was good for me, good for Chelsea, good for Shanghai, and I'm so happy to come to the Chinese Super League.

I know it could be a bit more difficult in England because you are not playing all the time and you play in different positions. But I do expect to score many goals for Chelsea and I hope to keep the average of between 10 to 20 goals a season, that would be good.

I want to win more games, more trophies, because I love Chelsea, I love the fans. I like the city, my family like it here.

It's great to play in local derbies.

In Brazil, there is a different type of football, but I think I am seen as an elegant type of ball player, who is creating for other people.

In Brazil, we have the culture to try to conquer the refs.

To play at Stamford Bridge for Brazil would be great. To play for the national team is already special but to do it here would be a very special occasion.

There are teams I like a lot like Inter and AC Milan, so I'd think about going to the Italian league.

Upon his arrival at Chelsea, Mourinho spoke to me. He gives me confidence and I'm trying to return all such support on the pitch.

If I go to Chelsea it will be a dream come true.

I arrived very early in Europe.

I spent a lot of time in the national team and I love playing for my country.

The fans are really good in China - not only Shanghai; wherever I go, everybody who stops me is super nice.

In the Premier League every team is very good. That's why it's very difficult to reach that level.

China has incredible financial power and sometimes makes offers that players can't refuse.

It's always a dream to play for the national team.

Everyone knows my quality... and the way I play.

Chelsea is one of the best clubs in the world, so I don't see why I would think of leaving.

There are different tactics depending on the opponents we face, and we respect the manager's choices.

The most important thing is to be happy, regardless of the place.

When I was a child I watched the Italian league a lot because there were many Brazilians there.

I won two Premier League championships, I played a lot - I won a championship with the Brazil team too.

I have to up my game every time I play.

I'm not aware if anyone's been told to kick me in training - but they are doing it anyway!

I play with players in the Brazilian national team who are similar to those at Chelsea - Kaka, Neymar.
