When I was 7, I started playing with a club. The only grass on the field was in the corner. There was no grass in the middle! It was just sand.

I think each player has an individual style. Each is concerned with giving the best to his team, and I think my best talent is dribbling and setting up goal situations, giving an assist or deceiving one of the other team's players.

The toughest opponents for me are the defenders who are tough in the way they play - where you can't see a way through.

I have never imagined doing anything other than football, but now, thinking about it coldly, if I hadn't been a footballer, I would have been a musician.

I come from a family where soccer has always been very present. My uncles, my father and my brother were all players.

My game is based on improvisation. Often, a forward does not have the time to think too much. You have a second, rarely more, to decide whether to dribble, shoot or pass to the right or left. It is instinct that gives the orders.

Of course, I follow Bollywood. In fact, it's widely followed in Brazil.

My heroes were always soccer players.

Football is about joy. It's about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.

My best has to be for Barcelona against Villarreal in 2006 - that is the one I am asked most about, and it is the one I am most proud of. Xavi chipped the ball to me, I chested it down, twisted and hit an overhead kick. It was the final goal in a 4-0 win.
