David Luiz is also a great player. More than anything he's a great guy off the pitch too.

I used to watch English football on TV when I was younger in Brazil. I already knew it was a dynamic, competitive and fast way of playing. When I got here, I just confirmed all of that.

Before every game I pray, I find solace. It helps me to relax and prepare.

Didier is a Chelsea legend and a senior player. I am happy for him to take the 11 and for me to take the 8.

I played in a city in Brazil where there are only two big clubs and Internacional versus Gremio was unbelievable - the pressure, the team atmosphere and everybody flying on the adrenalin.

When my agent told me that Chelsea were interested it was not something I even needed to think about.

The best players in the world play in Europe so that's where you want to go when you play in Brazil.

I chose Chelsea because I always wanted to play in Europe for one of the biggest clubs. And I'm glad I did.

In the Premier League, they don't give a foul even when it is a foul. We can't dive or pretend things.

Playing for Chelsea doesn't compare to the pressure of playing for Brazil because we've won the World Cup five times. It's not only a massive country but football is part of the culture. They always want you to win, so you can never have an off-day.

It was just great to wear the Brazil shirt in the senior team for the first time. I'd already worn it before playing for various age groups in the youth teams but it's very different playing for the Brazilian first team.

I have always worn the No.10 shirt when I played at lower levels and, obviously, my reference point was always Pele and then Ronaldinho.

When I was talking with Shanghai, I was talking to big clubs from Europe, as well. There was Atletico Madrid, who I almost joined. I liked them very much and what they were offering me at the time. There was also Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan. I had some options.

Every player brings something from their own culture into the collective.

I want to play every single player, but I can only play 11 at a time.

I can't play with 12 players.

I can only pass on what is inside of me, whether it is love or money or the passion for dribbling or tricks with the ball.

Pulisic is a top player.

Sometimes I make certain assumptions but find they're not immediately obvious to my players.

The pros stretch their bodies to the limit.

If, as Bayern, you lose 2-0 at Hertha, nobody believes you that you can still be satisfied with the performance.

I don't believe it helps when internal affairs are made public.

There are no guarantees. If you spent money, it's no guarantee you win stuff.

The money's there in England. They try to gather the best players. We do it differently here at Bayern. We have no investors, no owners.
