Athlete

I have friends who play for Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United.

I am working and improving every day, and I am happy with my work.

When I was getting injured so much, I spoke to my family and my manager and said, 'I need my body to recover.' The first thing I thought was that I needed to stay upright. When I went back to Brazil to play, after a few months, my body was perfect.

Chelsea received me very well.

I arrived in Milan when I was 18. But my time in Italian football helped me to mature.

To play for Chelsea is a blessing.

I'm a professional, and I have to always do my job.

I went to Brazil to learn more about my body and my physique: what to do before training, during training, after training, even after the match.

I just try to do as well as possible.

I have a very good relationship with my peers both on and off the pitch.

I want to write a new story in Europe, to make a new history. I want to come to win the championship and play again in the Champions League.

Talent is a feeling that you want to play.

I follow English football a lot and Ancelotti.

I like the emotion in the English league. You look at the TV, and you see the stadium and the fans.

I loved Milan. I was there for six years and made my stories there.

When I arrived in Milan, I found myself surrounded by many fantastic footballers.

Thanks to my fans for support on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

In football, nothing is certain, so it's no problem to return to Corinthians.

Playing in Milan for me meant being able to play alongside players who were idols to me as a kid. Playing alongside David Beckham - his long passes are perfect for me.

I really want to play in Chelsea.
