Athlete

With Shakhtar I also won a set of titles not only in Ukraine but in Europe also. I felt comfortable there.

When I was a kid, I dreamed of wearing the Selecao shirt in a World Cup.

Ronaldinho is the biggest idol in football for me. I like him a lot.

For me the Premier League is the best league in the world. And London is a great city. My family love to live here.

There are times when you look at your life and realise how lucky you've been.

After Brazil, London is my favourite city. I love to live here.

Every time I join the Selecao I try to maintain my good form and prove why I was called up.

Every game we have to seek to play better if we want to achieve results.

Mourinho is the best manager I've ever worked with.

The World Cup is a tournament that practically does not allow errors, especially in the final.

Every coach has his way of working.

I always try to play happily.

Every professional has their way of working.

It doesn't matter what the game is or against who, it is good to play at home.

I've earned quite a lot of money in Donetsk.

I need to always improve and that is why I work hard to try and keep my place in the squad.

I worked with Mourinho and I became his friend as well. He likes me a lot and I like him a lot as a coach and as a person. He has put his trust in me and in my work, and I was very grateful to him.

I am very proud to stay and be a Chelsea player. It is an honour to play at this club.

There are some players I always watched, various players who I knew hit the ball well.

It was my dream to have an opportunity to play in a big league like the English league.
