I want to leave PSG one day having won the Champions League. That's my biggest dream.

Each day you learn something new. Professionally, personally and even emotionally, because the emotional aspect is so important.

It's difficult to talk about the future because you never know.

I must continue to work hard to help my teammates. Competition always exists in football.

When you don't win, you get called a failure.

I heard a lot of things: 'I'm not a leader, I'm not this or that.' It wounds you, but after that it's also the kind of thing that motivates you the most.

I am not a mercenary. Milan was my home. They made a good deal, though. They signed me for 10 million euros and sold me for 42 million euros.

I was very young when I left Brazil.

What I like about Scolari is his personality. He is a firm guy in his words - if you are not playing well, you'll be benched, but if you are benched and training well, then you will get your opportunity.

Paulinho provides pace, strength and quality goals in the middle of the park.

The players who defend against him make fouls because it's always hard to defend Neymar and take the ball without fouling him.

It's difficult as a player once you have gone back to Brazil to get that second chance in Europe. Sometimes you only get one chance.

I would still be at Milan if it weren't for their financial problems.

If you don't have your family behind you, supporting you and giving you advice when you need it, things can get very difficult.

My core definition of success is my family. They provide me with all the support I need to feel good, both in and outside of my career.

I respect all opinions, but when you are attacked personally, it starts to get hard. I am especially sad when it impacts my family and my loved ones.

It is impossible not to hear some of the criticism. However, no newspaper, nor journalist, is going to tell me who I am. I know who I am.

Centre-backs with good technique can move the ball forward, even when under pressure.

During a training session, Ibra made a mess of five consecutive passes and no-one told him anything. When I made a mess of one, he shouted at me. We had an exchange of words. After training, he came to apologise, and told me it was the first time in his life that he'd been wrong.

Even for great players, things don't go well at certain clubs and that's normal.
