There weren't many options growing up, so I would wear whatever possible. I once saw a little boy wearing Jordan sneakers in a movie... and that made me dream.

The only thing that can protect me from someone coming from behind are the rules.

I'm always learning. I have to.

I've always said I learned to defend myself from an opponent coming for a hard hit. Tricks are part of my repertoire; I use them to try to get past my opponents, but the objective is always to score goals.

I'm not scared. I always go forward, trying to create space and make my way toward the goal.

It doesn't matter who scores the goals, just that we win the games.

Of course, it is my goal to win the Ballon d'Or, but I am not going to kill myself for it.

Romario had the best first touch and the best pass to score a goal.

I always dribble for a reason, and I always head for the goal.

Our objective is always to win. Every day, every game, and every competition.

I want to trace my own path by doing the things I have been doing, winning titles, reaching goals.

I do not like to put one title above the other. Every competition I contest and win is important.
